Whether you're hand-sanitising like crazy or simply wearing your mask and following the correct health guidelines, you probably haven't covered ALL of your tracks. To slow down the spread of Coronavirus and Covid-19, disinfecting surfaces should be a top priority.
A quick and easy solution to disinfecting large surfaces in the workplace and at home, is to use a cordless spray gun to spray disinfectant.
Sanitise with a spray gun
The cordless spray gun (usually sold as a paint spray gun) is highly effective to spray disinfectant, compared to regular cleaning. It has a comfortable soft grip handle as well as 3 different spray options, one of them being a very fine mist spray, which is ideal for any surface that you may want to disinfect. It is also a lot more efficient than an agricultural sprayer, as it covers an entire surface with a thin layer of disinfectant without leaving untreated patches.
Any cordless spray gun will work, we recommend the Ryobi XSG-18 Cordless Spray Gun for reliability and value for money.
What is Virol-Oxy
Virol-Oxy is an advanced surface disinfectant which works within minutes and is highly effective against viruses (including coronavirus), bacteria, fungi and spores. It's a lot more gentle to most surfaces than diluted bleach and you can even use it to wash off some food products.
Virol-Oxy is a disinfectant elaborated in Germany and distributed by EcoDepot in South Africa. Virol-Oxy is also available in bulk 1kg packages, to prepare 100L of disinfectant (1% solution).
