Fogging machines create an extremely fine fog of tiny particles (less than 2 micron) which will get everywhere in the area you are treating. The vapourised sanitising fog spreads quickly and evenly to fill an entire space. Once the area has been filled with sanitizing fog it is left to settle and dry for about 15-20 minutes. The targeted area is then allowed to ventilate prior to people re-entering. The fine particle size combined with the unique natural disinfectants are an extremely effective and safe indoor anti-microbial fogging system.

The fogging disinfectant is “Hospital Grade” and does not need to be wiped off after treatment like traditional toxic disinfectants, as it safely breaks down over time.
