What is disinfection fogging and does Bestcare offer it in Nairobi?
Disinfection fogging is a technique that disperses a fine mist of anti-microbial solution throughout a room or building, covering all surfaces — including areas that manual cleaning cannot easily reach.
When Is Fogging Used in Nairobi?
- After a confirmed COVID-19, influenza, or other infectious disease case in an office or home
- Pre-occupation sanitisation of new offices or homes
- Healthcare facilities requiring whole-room decontamination
- After pest fumigation — to clear residual chemical odours and sanitise
- Hospitality properties (hotels, Airbnb) requiring complete room sanitisation between guests
- Schools after infectious disease outbreaks
How Fogging Works
- The room is cleared of all occupants and food items
- A specialist fogging machine disperses anti-microbial solution as ultra-fine particles (droplets of 5–25 microns) that remain airborne for several minutes before settling on all surfaces
- The disinfectant has a defined contact time — staff re-enter after the room has been ventilated per the product protocol
- Fogging covers all surfaces uniformly — including vertical surfaces, ceilings, and areas behind furniture
Fogging vs Manual Disinfection
Fogging is complementary to — not a replacement for — manual cleaning. Manual cleaning removes organic material that shields pathogens from disinfectants; fogging then reaches every surface with anti-microbial solution.
