How Effective Is Your Dry-Mist Solution?
Our machines are used to kill pathogens in hospitals around the World (for over ten years).
Our solution is EPA validated to be a 6-log kill rating, this is the highest EPA validated efficacy on the market today and represents a near-sterilization of the disinfected space. In medical shorthand, this is often referred to as a “greater-than-6-log reduction” or a “6-log kill.” It is the gold standard for whole room disinfection. Reaching an efficacy of 99.9999% in the interior air and surfaces.
How Does It Work?
It treats the air and nonporous surfaces in one treatment.
The Halo dry-mist machine generates an aerosol that uses evaporation to quickly disperse hydrogen peroxide vapor and concentrated micro-droplet everywhere in rooms to kill germs and viruses where they hide, ensuring that our process reaches even those spaces beyond the reach of sprays, wipes and UV lights.
Sensitive To Smells And Chemicals Odors?
Our Halo solution has no fragrance added.
The Halomist machine uses a proprietary formula that combines hydrogen peroxide and silver synergistically, releasing highly reactive free radicals that immediately begin to attack the cell membrane of the targeted microorganism. This weakens the cell and allows the silver ions to enter. Together, the silver and hydrogen peroxide destroys microorganisms more effectively than standard sanitizing solutions. No bleach, no ammonia, no rise, and no residue.
Five Questions to ask before hiring someone to disinfect my business or home in Santa Clarita, CA
We want to share what we have learned with our twenty-six years of experience and thousands of completed projects. We will tell you what pitfalls and scams to avoid.
1. Is the person doing the work qualified? Do they have an OSHA HazWoper certification? The individual should produce an ID card showing they are current on certifications.
2. Do they have Indoor Air Quality Certifications? Many approved EPA solutions can add VOCs to your indoor air...Are they making your indoor air quality worse or better? Site-specific plans should be prepared well ahead of treatments.
3. Do they have General Liability insurance coverage? Ask for a copy before they start.
4. How do they validate their work? They should either be qualified to take a surface sample or provide test strips that show their services were successful. Ask those disinfecting your business to show you how they are monitoring the air quality while they work and to validate what they have done for you. A reputable company can provide that information.
5. Ask what is being sprayed? The law states "You have a right to know".
Do not ever let someone apply a homemade solution of bleach in your place of business. Unfortunately, we see a lot of unqualified individuals offering services. They have the potential to make your indoor air quality worse with caustic solutions.

OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE UPPER OR LOWER RANGE
1. Lower pricing is reserved for non-emergency services or for "Touchpoint" contracts for daily, weekly, or monthly business disinfecting services.
2. The option of the "Dry-Mist" Halo system for businesses that cannot have wet solutions applied to their inventory (for items such as clothes, paper, files, computers)
