A clean environment, free of urban pests and with sanitized equipment and furniture is essential to ensure the health and well-being of human beings, domestic animals and even plants.
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), increasing the frequency of disinfection of environments and surfaces is one of the main forms of prevention once morest various bacteria and viruses, even once morest the new coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2).
Attentive to this factor, the market has developed several innovations that call the attention of the consumer, but raise several doubts, such as oxy-sanitization. Vinicius Finavaro, responsible for SP Serviços – professional laundry -, answers the main questions related to the topic in the following topics:
1 – What is oxy-sanitization?
Finavaro explains that oxy-sanitization is a process carried out by equipment that transforms the oxygen molecule into ozone, and can be used in any environment and mobile. The procedure has no smell and does not harm the furniture or fabric.
“The ‘oxy’ comes from ozone and the ‘sanitization’ comes from the synonym for hygiene. Due to its high oxidizing power and its degradation does not generate products that are harmful to human health and the environment, ozone is an interesting alternative for several segments”, he details.
2 – How is the oxy-sanitization of environments done?
According to the expert, in order to carry out oxy-sanitization successfully, the size of the treated environment and the ozone-generating equipment that will be used must be taken into account.
“An account must be made relating to the power of the equipment (what is the ozone production g/h) and the size of the environment to be treated. Only by saturating the environment with ozone will it be effective to disinfect the environment, eliminate odor and all the benefits of ozone”, he explains.
3 – What are the benefits of the oxy-sanitization process?
Among the advantages of the oxy-sanitization process, Finavaro highlights, as it is a gas, it can access the entire environment, even in the most difficult and tight places – which a cleaning or sanitizing product would hardly achieve.
Despite this, he observes that, depending on the size of the environment, the machine’s action time can be quite prolonged. In these cases, sanitizing environments may be the most recommended technique.
4 – Where can I use oxy-sanitization?
According to the person responsible for SP Serviços, oxy-sanitization can be used for various purposes. Currently, several sectors are using the procedure to perform the cleaning and sterilization of environments and furniture. “Oxy-sanitization has also been widely used to clean cars, carrying out a complete disinfection and eliminating unpleasant odors”, he says.
5 – Does oxy-sanitization eliminate microorganisms?
Finavaro says that sanitation acts by eliminating various types of microorganisms, including viruses, and has virucidal, fungicidal, bactericidal, insecticide and deodorant action.
6 – Is oxy-sanitization indicated for environments?
“Yes. In sanitizing environments, equipment is used that releases a fine mist of sanitizing product. As the particles are very fine, they reach the most difficult ones and spread quickly throughout the environment”. With specific equipment, and with the correct sanitizing products, it is possible to disinfect environments assertively, being effective even with viruses, he says.
7 – Is oxy-sanitization safe?
The expert claims that the technique is safe and has its action scientifically proven. “Oxy-sanitization has been used by several countries to control the spread of the coronavirus. Its great advantage is that it can cover large spaces and its process is very fast, and does not cause clutter in the environment”.
He adds that it is necessary to respect the period of re-entry in the environment of two hours following the application. Furthermore, it is not necessary to make any changes to the environment, and the technique does not require further restrictions.
8 – How to choose a company to carry out sanitation or oxy-sanitization?
According to Finavaro, it is necessary to look for a company that has state-of-the-art machinery, in addition to the techniques and knowledge necessary to carry out oxy-sanitization and efficient sanitization. “In addition, the company must be certified by Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) and have all the documents and training required by law”, he instructs.
“At this current moment, it is increasingly important to have efficient techniques for cleaning environments in order to guarantee the health and well-being of all”, he says.
