Waiting room chairs, couches, toys and books should be sanitized periodically to cut down on germ transfer

January 05, 2016

Cleanliness is an important factor that needs to be taken more seriously. Most environments need to be clean in order to keep people comfortable. There are many different ways to obtain a hygienic environment, but the most effective way is by calling Germinator to help create a cleaner and more hygienic home for your family. Here's how our patent-pending process can help make your home a more hygienic place to live.

Germinator's Patent-Pending Process

Germinator has developed a patent-pending process that provides a new generation of microbial protection for commercial businesses and residents.

Germinator's patent-pending methodology is the most unique and cost-effective means of providing enhanced antimicrobial protection for businesses and residences. The company first tests surfaces for ATP using a luminometer to detect light that can come from cellular activity. This measurement immediately provides the level of clean on a surface.

The next step is the application of Germinator's Genesis surface treatment. Genesis is a one-step cleaner and broad-spectrum sanitizer and disinfectant treatment that harnesses the power of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Derived from naturally occurring minerals, Genesis not only eliminates odors at their source but kills a wide range of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Salmonella enterica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and viruses including norovirus, rotavirus, and adenovirus on hard, non-porous, environmental surfaces. It meets the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) germicidal spray standards for Hospital Grade Disinfection and is on the EPA's N List of products determined to meet the criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. As a result, this treatment will eliminate bacteria and viruses that may reside in your environment without the use of harsh chemicals or fumes.


Following Genesis, Germinator applies its Shield, a water-based quaternary ammonium compound that imparts a durable bacteriostatic finish. It is EPA-registered as effective against mold, mildew, algae, and odor-causing bacteria. This application creates an invisible barrier that helps combat deterioration and discoloration and promotes freshness for up to three months.

The Genesis and Shield products are applied by using an electrostatic sprayer, which is the most efficient and effective means of delivering the products to the intended application sites. After Germinator's surface treatment and protectant services, the company retests ATP levels to help ensure the surfaces have achieved the intended results.

You and your family use your furniture every day, but how often do you clean it? You may not be able to see it, but in some cases, when you sit on your favorite couch after a long day, there's a good chance that you may be laying on top of a huge colony of bacteria. Dust mites, bedbugs, and even lice can hide within your furniture —all of it waiting for you. It's the same for waiting room chairs, which are used by dozens and dozens of (often sick) people each day. This also applies to toys. Your children touch them every day and share them with others - sometimes, they even put the toys in their mouths. Can you imagine the number of harmful bacteria they are being exposed to?

You probably keep many items near you and constantly use without considering what critters might be lurking on them. Public libraries should take sanitizing and disinfecting very seriously. Do you consider yourself a 'bookworm'? Do you collect books? Are you one of those people that love to read in bed? Germinator is eager to help you! You may not know this, but books (especially those that come from the library) are can also be a host for bedbugs and bacteria.
