Maintaining Spaces That Resist the Spread of Communicable Disease

A worker cleans a breakroom.

Public spaces are safest when three non-negotiable rules are followed:
- Aggressively reduce soil load using a true 2-step cleaning process (clean → dry) with ProTab® microfiber wipers and Envirotab® solution,
- Eliminate fragrances and VOC residues that trap pathogens and irritate respiratory systems, and
- Continuously purify the air using ultra-low-dose vaporous chlorine dioxide (VCD) to neutralize airborne microbes before they infect occupants.
When these three systems work together, disease transmission pathways are interrupted at surfaces, in aerosols, and in shared airspace.

Chlorine Dioxide vs Ozone Generators vs Peracetic Acid Fogging

QUICK ANSWER: Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) generated on-site from ClO₂-generating tablets is often the most controllable “whole-room” oxidizing disinfectant option because it can deliver a validated concentration × time (CT) dose as a true gas that spreads into hard-to-reach microspaces—without relying on unsafe occupied-level oxidation (ozone) and without filling a space with highly irritating, potentially corrosive wet aerosols (peracetic acid fogging). In plain terms: ClO₂ gas can be tuned to do the job, measured/verified, and cleared—while ozone and PAA fogging more often fight physics, safety limits, or residues. Detectable, enforceable exposure limits and established monitoring methods also make ClO₂ easier to manage professionally when used correctly.
