SoftWash Covid Treatments

---

According to the CDC website:  

• Cleaning refers to the removal of germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. Cleaning does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.
• Disinfecting refers to using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.

Sodium Hypochlorite is applied along with a surfactant to clean through a softwash process.  After cleaning and the proper dwell time for the disinfectant to work, the equipment is thoroughly rinsed and followed by a bleach neutralizing agent in order to protect the surfaces that get cleaned.  

San Q, a sanitizing agent, can also be utilized.  San Q is a food-safe quat, or quaternary ammonium sanitizer. It is registered with the EPA and confirmed to work against COVID19 coronavirus by the CDC. San-Q requires no rinse, and in a diluted state is non-corrosive. It is best used as a contact sanitizer on non-porous surfaces such as playground equipment, tile, bathroom and kitchen surfaces, outdoor seating, and shopping carts.
