AN INTRODUCTION TO ADVANCED DISINFECTING

Anti Microbial Fogging as a technique for the eradication of microbes in South Africa began on the 1st February 1996 when Mike: van Niekerk, founder of (ADS) realised that a residual disinfectant in an aerosol state will carry into nearly all of the airspace in a building, thus solving the problem of disinfecting those hard to reach places that are not cleaned daily, where microbes tend to thrive, causing returns, loss and shortening of shelf life for products already in the market place. Fogging could create a disinfecting residual cocoon in a food processing plant, a operating theatre, a nursery school, an old age home, in a fridge etc. The possibilities could be endless?

Mike then approached the former Rand Afrikaans University (RAU) Professor C.W. Holzapfel Department of Chemistry to help finalise a non-hazardous broad spectrum (HIGH LEVEL) disinfectant that he had developed that could have an effective microbial kill rate for up to 30 days.

Why? Disinfect.

Disinfecting homes, offices, hospitals, public buildings, food production plants and any closed environment or surface is a never-ending task. The constant flow of people, pets in the environment and circulating air continuously bring in a new population of microbes that are the cause of many different dis-eases.

These microbes vary greatly in size, cell wall structure and ability to withstand adverse living conditions. Some microbes have cell walls of thick protein or fat, others are covered by wax, starch or thick mucus. Many, when exposed to extreme heat, cold or dryness form cysts that spring back to life when conditions become favourable.

Laboratory and field studies have proven Advanced Disinfecting Services’ products and techniques to be 100% effective against all of the above.

DANGERS

Modern life, stress, refined foods, and closed working environments are putting tremendous stress on the immune system. We are at present on our last strain of antibiotics and thus need to look at more and more alternative ways to help our immune systems fight of sickness and disease. As a species, we need to go back to basics.

FEATURES

ADS develops, manufactures and uses these highly effective products and techniques that are combined with service and back up. These products and techniques have been proven and tested in the industry and THEY WORK!

BENEFITS

ADS is a company that operates in many fields where health, hygiene, and absolute levels of sterility is required. ADS has finally perfected a system that is not only highly effective, but saves customers thousands of Rands per annum.

To deliver quality product value and service excellence to our customers by reinventing ourselves all the time and upgrading our employees as part of our corporate culture. With the aim of being able to enhance the working environment and lifestyle of every customer.

It is important to build up confidence and trust in our customers. We want to walk a very long path with them. That is all we want. A commitment that we are going to do this thing together and help them win in the long run. Once we work together, you will notice that our entire approach is different from other (trying to be) competitors in the market. We are not here to take people’s money and not solve problems. We provide a solution to solve microbial contamination needs.

Our performance and capabilities speak for themselves. We work with major international companies and we are unique in the fogging business. I believe that currently there is no other company in South Africa providing the same kind of services as ours. We have created a speciality and positioned ourselves in this niche market with the aim of being the market leader here. This will make it difficult for others to follow in our footsteps because as soon as they try to catch up with us, we would have moved on and reinvented ourselves, our products and our services again. To always come out with innovative and effective methods towards establishing ourselves as the market leader in HIGH LEVEL disinfecting services and the development and manufacture of our own products.

WHAT IS FOGGING?

Fogging is the answer for areas where normal cleaning and disinfecting procedures are ineffective and microbes could be causing a problem. With a specialised fogging machine the product is applied with an atomising effect causing the particle size to be so small that it penetrates the hard to clean, reach and touch surfaces. With this vapourising of liquid a fine mist is suspended in the air and also onto surfaces that leaves all contact areas slightly moist for about 10 minutes.

After several years of being unable to make use of fogging because of the toxicity of disinfectants available on the market, fogging is once again available as an option to thoroughly and professionally disinfect larger problem areas.

WHERE CAN IT BE USED?

Being safe for use where people and animals are present, our product is the perfect disinfectant for use in operating theaters, clinics, medical surgeries, patient’s rooms, beauty salons, schools, hairdressing salons, child care and frail care facilities, physiotherapy rooms, food processing plants, conference centres, gyms, homes, the scope is endless.

The product and use of our DIY fogging ensures that a broad spectrum of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mildew, moulds, algae and house dust mites, are killed. The special Quadex formula has a proven 30-day residual effect under laboratory conditions, which means that it continues to kill the disease-causing organisms long after it has been applied. With monthly fogging we create a residual on top of residual effect, giving our clients the microbial results and peace of mind they aspire to.

HOLISTIC HYGIENE APPROACH.

Initially, ADS fogging specialists will inspect the premises to assess the nature of the problem, type of business, current level of hygiene, microbial load, etc. Information about the type of fogging, frequency, implementation of 3rd party independent swab tests, consultation as to current level of hygiene will need to be addressed in order to create a win-win business relationship. A holistic approach to hygiene is thus paramount. (It is pointless for potential clients to only rely on fogging to solve their microbial problems when there are many factors that could create microbial contamination? – Factory blindness – air flow – pest control – poor hygiene – cleaning chemical usage (cationic/anionic mix) etc. A fogging contract will be offered so that our potential clients can have absolute peace of mind as to the on-going and safe monthly disinfecting of their production facility or premises. Our approach is thus far more than just offering a monthly fogging service treating symptoms, rather than a cause.

FACTORY BLINDNESS: I have a saying…. “If you live long enough in your own dirt, eventually you do not see it anymore”

TAKING HANDS.

Once the quotation is accepted and a contract is formalised, our new customer will be presented with a Fogging Advice Programme (FAP) on a monthly basis containing a proposal specifically designed to address their current hygiene level and our particular requirements in regards to problem areas that need addressing and rectifying of special wishes and demands we have so that we can together reach the hygiene standard we want to achieve. (We have such trust and integrity with a lot of our clients, that we are the only company allowed on their premises with a camera and can thus photograph problems and the SHEQM – QAM – INFECTION CONTROL SISTER now has visual material of potential problems or possible poor hygiene that we point out to them this way and can so action and rectify immediately. (A picture tells a thousand words)
