Sanitizing is important, but combining this with prolonged disinfecting is essential.

My teams are always using the best products and taking care to complete our janitorial solutions projects so that our clients and their customers are protected. That’s why when we stumbled upon Epic BioSolutions, we were excited to learn about a new product and the best in cutting edge when it relates to addressing the COVID-19 virus. Our goal is to continue to educate our team on the best tools to help win the battle against this and other pathogens.

We were asking ourselves: how can we help our clients return to a sense of normalcy? What can we do to make parents feel safe? Employees? Employers? The answer is — you need a defined and proven process. One that you can test to provide verification that a space is safe.

Our Four-Step Veri-Clean Process

We have developed a four-step process that is effective even in highly-trafficked areas and spaces like higher education campuses, large office buildings, schools, and medical offices.

Step 1: Measure

Our team first identifies potentially dangerous microbes and organic matter on surfaces using an Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) meter, which evaluates contamination levels on any given surface. The ATP meter tests for Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule found in living cells — meaning if it’s alive, it has an ATP reading. The test can find places where fungi, mold, and bacteria are thriving before the evidence is visible to the naked eye.

The meter provides a count of parts per million for any biological material present. Between 0-10 is considered “ultra-clean” by Hygenia, a leader in rapid testing solutions for food & beverage, healthcare, water quality, and hospitality. In most environments, the presence of microscopic living cells is a warning sign that additional cleaning and sanitization protocols are required.

Step 2: Disinfect

Second, we use a potent disinfectant to ensure the highest level of cleanliness. The product is scientifically designed to kill a wide spectrum of dangerous pathogenic micro-organisms — viruses, bacteria, microbes, fungi, and parasites. It’s a safe, non-toxic cleaner made of Chlorine Dioxide, which is known to kill the COVID-19 envelope virus.

Step 3: Protect (this is where the magic happens)

To continue protecting surfaces, we use Epic Surface Pure 90™ to provide an additional layer of protection for surfaces already treated with disinfectant. This solution creates an invisible antimicrobial barrier that lasts up to 90 days. Combined with the previous steps, our teams ensure long-lasting protection for a wide range of materials and surfaces.

Step 4: Verify

Finally, we provide post-testing to confirm that our application has been effective in keeping parts per million down to “ultra-clean” levels.

This system isn’t just about disinfecting and sanitizing — it’s about providing a testing protocol that delivers peace of mind to everyone involved. Regular daily cleaning must still be maintained for the system to work at maximum effectiveness.

We have entered a new normal thanks to the pandemic — but the level of protection and verification this system provides is here to stay.
