Bleach and Biofilms

SmartSpray’s disinfection technologies produce the highest efficacy. Bleach is often considered the best way to quickly disinfect surfaces. Even though advertised to kill 99.9% of germs, many bacteria in our environment have built up a protective film, called “Biofilm”, against the penetration of bleach or other disinfectants. 

Essentially, bleach fails to penetrate this biofilm and will only clean so deep. Harmful viruses (i.e. swine flu, bird flu, C. Diff) can be hidden under this biofilm and will not be eliminated by bleach. This biofilm is found everywhere and on all surfaces. SmartSpray’s deep cleaning process breaks down the biofilm, exposing the “protected” germs beneath and then keeps on killing them to totally eliminate bacteria. One application of SmartSpray often takes the worse contaminated surfaces and turns them into “food safe” surfaces.

The ideal Biocide and Odor Elimination

SmartSpray has a broader efficacy than traditional alcohol and phenol-based disinfectants and is known in EPA test labs as the “ideal biocide”. It also eliminates odor better than odor absorbents that simply coat odors with a film that allows them to reappear 7 to 10 days later. These chemical odor absorbents will also emit harmful VOC’s (or carcinogens) into the air. SmartSpray does neither; instead, it completely kills the odor causing bacteria and does not emit VOC’s.
