What Does Prophylactic Spray Do?

April 06, 2020

You've no doubt heard the word prophylactic and not considered its meaning. The word comes from a Greek term that means an advanced guard. In short, it applies to taking preventive measures against something. If we mentioned prophylactic spraying, we would be referring to preventive spraying, but what does prophylactic spray do and what is it used for? Prophylactic spraying has been used in farming for decades to help keep pests from destroying crops. As it applies to cleaning and sanitizing, a prophylactic spray is a spray used to help prevent germs and bacteria. All of this is a fancy way of saying that a prophylactic spray is a proactive way of dealing with something.

Proactive Versus Reactive

The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an example of reactive behavior. We are reacting to a health crisis in the best way we can. Suddenly the public is more aware of the importance of a sanitized and disinfected environment, being cautious of the things we touch because we aren't sure who else has touched them that might have been carrying the coronavirus, and even taking more care in sanitizing and disinfecting our home environments when someone in the home is sick. Sanitizing and disinfecting regularly and effectively is something we should be doing all the time, but it isn't always done, and if it is, it isn't always done effectively. A more aware public would not have stopped the current pandemic, but if the population as a whole had spent more time with consistent and effective sanitizing solutions, the outcome may have been different.

By no means are we saying that sanitizing and disinfecting alone are enough to prevent diseases like COVID-19. This disease was going to do what it has done already. What we are saying, however, is that a more thoughtful cleaning and sanitizing routine everywhere in the world, particularly in areas where the public gathers, would have at least helped create more hygienic environments. We're finding that out right now as the Centers for Disease Control push sanitizing every surface we touch. It's safe to say this has always been a recommended practice, but has this always been the case? If you're a business owner, do you truly know what products your cleaning staff use and if they're using them as directed? Are they taking shortcuts? Even if you have a cleaning and sanitizing routine in place, you may not know if it's being done appropriately unless you have time to oversee it.
