If you offer sanitation services, choosing the right products and equipment is paramount. Your clients depend on you to ensure their environments are safe, clean, and healthy. With so many sanitation techniques, cleaning solutions, and specialty equipment in the field today, it can be hard to know where to begin. We’re here to help with our guide on sanitation sprayers.
First Things First: What Are Sanitation Sprayers?
Sanitation sprayers are tools that spray a consistent application of cleaning solutions over large areas. By legal definition, “sanitizing” refers to reducing germs on a surface, and public health departments regulate sanitation requirements for commercial spaces. Sanitation sprayers usually apply solutions meant to settle onto surfaces and then dry, removing the need to wipe it up. They are an effective and efficient way to thoroughly sanitize a space.
Types of Sanitation Sprayers:
- Trigger or pump sprayers – These basic sprayers are inexpensive and portable. They operate manually and are good for small spaces. However, you cannot easily control the droplet size of the cleaning solution, which, along with having to operate them by hand, makes them a hassle for bigger jobs.
- Electric/battery-powered sprayers – Basic electric or battery-powered sanitation sprayers make it much easier to cover a lot of ground and still tend to be rather affordable. Still, most models don’t offer much droplet size control.
- Electrostatic sprayers – Electrostatic sprayers administer a small electric charge to cleaning solution particles to disperse them with efficiency and precision. They allow for easy droplet control and provide excellent coverage.
- ULV sprayers – Ultra Low Volume (ULV) sanitation sprayers utilize air flow to maximize the dispersion of the cleaning solution. You’ll cover a large space quickly and with droplet control. These sprayers are made for indoor or outdoor use and are available as backpacks for convenience and comfort.
