We never recommend that our customers fully replace their current cleaning procedures, rather supplement. Each cleaning procedure provides a specific purpose. For example, UV pulsing and chemical vapors, such as Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor, are effective for terminal cleans but are not options in providing continuous disinfection.
Current cleaning and disinfection procedures—whether ad hoc or regularly scheduled (hourly, daily or weekly) do not provide adequate protection against harmful bacteria, fungi, yeast or mold. Current approaches are effective at and around the time of cleaning, but once anything or anyone new enters that environment, the cycle of contamination begins again.
This is the case in virtually every environment from our homes to the workplace and factories to any interior public space. Vyv’s technology works non-stop, around the clock and in between routine cleaning activities, providing a layer of continuous antimicrobial action, and an added level of risk-mitigation. This is an effective approach to targeting the continuous buildup of microbes (E. coli can double in numbers every 20 minutes in some conditions, increasing bioburden exponentially across the course of a day), while meeting requirements for continuous use around people. We refer to our lights as having a continuous cleaning effect, which makes them the ideal foundation for any cleaning protocols.
