FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Triple Attack Technology?

FOG BLASTER™ is unique in the market as it combines several advanced technologies into one very effective tool.

FOG BLASTER™ is designed for dispatching oxidizing agents on a ‘hunt and destroy mission’ against pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and spores.

To understand the TRIPLE ATTACK, there are seven basic principles to know: ​

1. The pathogen targets have a positive ionic charge.
2. The earth has a neutral charge.
3. Any frequently touched object could have a static charge.
4. The goal is to create a contact for any oxidizing agent with any, and all pathogens.
5. Chlorine is an oxidizing agent.
6. Ozone is an oxidizing agent.
7. Negative Ions are oxidizing agents to positively charged pathogens.

AEROSOL CHLORINE

FOG BLASTER™ blasts electrostatically charged nano-droplets (aerosol) for the delivery of Chlorine into the air, and onto surfaces.

Chlorine is a powerful oxidant - that is what makes it the active ingredient in most disinfectants.

The chlorine molecule, when it comes in contact with the protein shell of a virus, destroys the function of the virus shell, rendering it ineffective.

As a superoxidant, HOCl (hypochlorous acid) reacts rapidly with multiple protein targets, resulting in protein oxidation damage being the predominant reaction. The damage induced by HOCl, plays an important role in killing invading pathogens.

There are many ways to put Chlorine into solution, using different formulations, all of them with the intention of have Free Active Chlorine (FAC) in the solution.

As most mixtures are designed for making disinfectants for application by cloths and mops. It is important to realize that we are vaporizing an aerosol - a new technology, and as such, we should use the safest of all the chlorine-loaded solutions - HOCl, or HYPOCHLOROUS ACID.

BIPOLAR IONIZATION

BIPOLAR IONIZATION means adding positive and negative ions into a jetstream.

The Super Plasma Ionizer blasts existing water molecules in the air (whilst also adding new ones) and converts them into charged H- and OH+ atoms.

The negative ions (H-), or ‘Active Hydrogen’, are attracted to the positively charged pathogens, deactivating their RDA protein shell.

Whether virus, or pollutant, this ‘bonding’ also enlarges to a ‘cluster’ so the target is more easily caught in filters.

OZONE

Whilst ‘ozone’ is a scary word, because it is toxic at high concentrations, it is a VERY effective oxidant and, as long as it is below 0.05ppm (which it is), it can be used. In fact, all BIPOLAR IONIZATION systems also generate ozone.

Ozone is O3 which is an unstable molecule - it wants to be O2 - so, as soon as the ozone gets near a pathogen, the 3rd oxygen molecule jumps over to the pathogen, and, as per our mission, oxidises and destroys.

How does Fogging Sanitization work?

Our revolutionary fogging treatment works by distributing a fine, almost invisible mist into the air, which eventually settles on all surfaces, including those hard to reach spaces. ​ The disinfectant mist gets to work straight away, eradicating airborne pathogens and surface bacteria, cleaning the whole room from top to bottom.

Where can Fogging Sanitization be used?

Our top of the range Fog Blaster Pro is a portable fogger which allows us to reach and sanitize all surfaces in your home or at your business premises including electrical equipment, fabrics and more.

What Chemicals Do Mist-IT Use?

The mist that we use to sanitize your home or workplace is made up of a fully-tested, non-toxic, high-quality Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) that irreversibly binds, penetrates and immobilizes bacteria and viruses. ​ Hypochlorous acid is entirely non-toxic, non-irritant and non-corrosive, meaning it won’t irritate skin or cause any damage to your fixtures and fittings. The product is safe to use on all surfaces and is non-staining. It is also water-based, so kind to the environment.

What Is Our Sanitizing Method?

A pre-clean of the area should have been performed before fogging.

The key elements of disinfection with FOG BLASTER™ are :

1. To get full coverage of oxidation agents on all Frequently Touched Objects (FTO's)
2. To neutralize any static charge on Frequently Touched Objects.
3. To get full coverage of oxidation agents throughout the volume of each room.

How Does the Electrostatic Fogger Work?

FOG BLASTER™ generates a jetstream of negatively charged chlorine-loaded nano-droplets. By giving all the droplets the same charge, they repel each other in the air, preventing them from ‘clustering’ into larger droplets that quickly will fall to the ground.

The velocity of the jetstream draws 75 million positive and negative ions into the blast, as well as the most effective weapon - ozone, at less than 5ppm. If a negative ion gets close to an airborne pathogen, it will be ionically attracted to it, and, as per our mission, oxidize and destroy it.

The droplet size can be adjusted to as small as 0.25 microns, meaning each droplet can carry more charge, and, once blasted into the air, they will remain airborne for several minutes as they move in a randomised way (see Brownian Motion) on a ‘hunt and destroy’ mission. If they come in contact with a pathogen, or a pollution, the negative will attract to the positive and neutralize it. This process is called oxidation, and it is the destruction of the virus.

As the droplets get closer to surfaces, the positive and negative ions NEUTRALIZE any static charge so the surface does not repel the negatively charged chlorine-loaded droplets.

Based on studies from the agricultural industry, the electrostatically charged droplets get a more effective coverage on any surface because each droplet is charged the same, and as such, they continue to repel each other. If one droplet lands on a surface, and another droplet randomly wants to land on the same location, the ‘landed’ droplet will repel the ‘landing’ droplet such that it lands BESIDE the ‘landed’ droplet, thereby perfecting the coverage as the droplets seek out the pathogens which also landed randomly. On the flipside, if a pathogen is on a surface, it will still have a positive charge (otherwise it is destroyed) and the negatively charged droplet will be ATTRACTED to it, and, as per our mission, oxidize and destroy it.

The velocity of the jetstream creates a turbulence when directed at objects. Physics explains this turbulence creates the wrap-around effect. As long as the object has a neutral charge, the nano-droplets will adhere to the rear surface of an object as a result of being directed by the turbulence.

What PPE Do We Use?

We supply and wear our own PPE. Even though HYPOCHLOROUS ACID is non-toxic and in a non-irritant, it is still a weak acid.

Accordingly, we wear the following PPE:

• Eye Protection
• Face Mask
• Gloves
• Safety Signs

What Is Business Sanitization?

We offer a range of out of hours services in order to minimise disruption to your business during the working week or weekend. ​ We can come before your business opens to sanitize the building or after your business has closed to start sanitizing. We can also come at the weekend while the business is closed to perform the full sanitization service. ​ Price will vary depending on size of office or building and areas that need sanitizing.

What Is Home Sanitization?

We have flexibility to sanitize your home at a time and day convenient to you. ​ We will work with you if you want all members of your household and pets to be out while we sanitize your home from top to bottom for the whole day or at a specific time convenient for you. ​ It takes approximately 1 hour to fully sanitize a standard 3 bedroom house.
