Deep cleaning and Fogging are two of the most popular cleaning methods for when a facility, such as an office or a school, needs a thorough disinfection of its whole building. This is because they are the easiest and also most effective at restoring the property back to its high standards of cleanliness, providing a healthy and hygienic working environment that will benefit everyone from the employees to any clients.

It’s important to understand the difference between each cleaning method so you can choose the best treatment for your premises and eliminate as many germs and bacteria as possible. So what is the difference between deep cleaning and fogging and what benefits can they bring?

Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning is a known practice in the cleaning world and probably the most known out of all the methods. Deep cleaning, as it says in the name, just goes deeper than your average weekly clean which demands more time and effort along with extra resources to make sure that the desired, high-standard results are met. Deep cleaning has always been the most trusted and reliable cleaning method in recent years however with the evolution of technology, there has been an increase in different and more effective methods such as a Fogging which are much more desirable.

Fogging

Fogging is rapidly becoming a tried-and-true method of cleaning interior areas as it is one of the most effective ways to kill the COVID-19 virus and other bacteria but how does it work? Fogging is the process of disinfecting a space and those items in it using a fine mist of electrostatically charged particles, as this vapour is applied, it evolves into a misty, fog-like atmosphere which delivers complete, consistent coverage to all surfaces. GCC’s fogging machines apply an electrostatic charge to the cleaning chemical to ensure enhanced coverage and adhesion. Not only does fogging effectively disinfect all surfaces, but it also combats airborne pathogens, ensuring nothing harmful is left after treatment.

Why is Fogging Used?

Fogging can get to those hard-to-reach areas, without the need to move furniture. The nature of fogging means this mist can weave through every nook and cranny while also clinging to surfaces and applying a disinfectant, this saves a lot of time and effort compared to conventional disinfection methods. From small office rooms to large classrooms and entire buildings, fogging can disinfect in a matter of hours.

The treated room must be empty of people during treatment and for two hours afterwards but can then be reoccupied without further decontamination or ventilation. Decontamination lasts for up to 30 days and can be repeated on a monthly basis to provide long term protection.
