Electric Static Fog system used to kill coronavirus at North Alabama businesses

Dot com.

Today- we talked to a company helping about 2 dozen north alabama businesses keep customers safe.

The business is using an electric static fogging system to help kill germs left behind on surfaces.

Waay 31's sydney martin is live in huntsville tonight after learning more about the business.

Trojan environmental- told me today furniture factory is just one of the many businesses they're cleaning weekly here in huntsville- and showed me what they're doing to try to kill any traces of the virus before someone gets sick.

William chapman, trojan environmental, "it gets in places, under tables, on table legs to get to places you wouldn't normally clean with a rag and disinfectant."

William chapman is one of the co-owners of trojan environmental in huntsville- he told me once restaurants and bars started reopening after the coronavirus shutdown- their company started getting lots of calls.

"we're focusing on businesses in the downtown area and surrounding areas we went as far as cullman in birmingham.

We have nashville next week.

It's an added layer of defense for the normal cleaning procedures these facilities use."

Chapman explained the fogging system helps tackle areas in businesses that aren't typically cleaned.

"it's an electric static fogging system.

Basically it will stick and go into places you normally wouldn't clean.

Hand cleaning of chairs and tables can be very labor intensive.

We can come in and clean a facility in a fraction of the time of normal cleaning procedures."

And said they work with these businesses to clean before they open or after they close since spaces can't be occupied right after... "you want it to leave it to settle for about 10 minutes indoors, outdoors is a little different because it dissipates a little quicker so we do it a little heavier outside.

It takes about 10 minutes to dissipate but you want to wait about an hour to inhabit the space again."

Chapman told me everyone seems happy with the extra cleaning.

"this is a total optional procedure for business owners.

It's a good one and it's a protective procedure.

It's another line of defense."

"people get an extra layer of satisfaction and protection.

They feel more comfortable coming into a facility that has been sanitized by a professional company.'

The business told me it sanitizes some businesses daily but others weekly or monthly..and said they work with customers to determine how often their business should be cleaned.
