COVID-19 IHP Decontamination

Virus Decon uses fogging technology to provide surface decontamination, deep clean and whole room infection control services. Virus Decon fights the COVID-19 spread using iHP (Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide) that kills all known pathogens and micro-organisms.

What is iHP (Ionised Hydrogen Peroxide)?

iHP refers to ionised hydrogen peroxide released from our cleaning apparatus. The method requires a hydrogen peroxide concentration of 6-10 %. It creates a mist of hydrogen peroxide from a fogging machine, usually handheld, that the droplets pass through a cold plasma arc, created between two high-energy electrodes at 17,000 volts before they become airborne. Now we have similarly charged particles charged with hydrogen peroxide which repel each other but adhere to opposite charged surfaces and particles in the air, killing all the micro-organisms with which it comes into contact.

What iHP Decontamination Involves

  • Sanitisation – making your area and the objects within it clean.
  • Disinfection – eliminates pathogenic organisms.
  • Sterilisation – completely eliminates microbial viability.

What Does Log 6 Reduction Mean?

Each level offers different levels of assurance of sterility and this is counted in logs. Each reduction in logs represents a 90 percent reduction in non-pathogenic and pathogenic spores, fungi, and viruses – the microbials. Thus, a reduction of two logs (10-2) brings sanitation, a reduction of five logs (10-5) is disinfection, and a reduction of six logs (10-6) reduces the microbial population to virtually zero-sterilization.

How Does an iHP Decontamination Work?

Fast-acting formula – Ionized hydrogen peroxide decontamination reduces microbial contaminants in minutes to below detectable levels, killing bacteria, viruses, spores, and fungi including MRSA and C Difficile. This rapid decontamination programme helps reduce downtime linked to contamination issues.

A fine mist of hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol passes through a cold plasma arc, ionising to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species, destroying the surface structures of these microorganisms including proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Breaks down quickly after use – Environmentally friendly, iHP leaves no residue and breaks down into harmless components (oxygen and water), meaning you can quickly restore your space, business, and operations to regular use.

Compatibility of materials – As VHP and HPV use hydrogen peroxide to a much higher concentration, material damage is possible. The process of decontamination with iHP does not damage the room’s content. This means that before use, electronics and equipment do not need to be cleaned, allowing faster overall time, and also ensuring decontamination of the equipment.

Benefits of iHP Decontamination

  • Easy to transport
  • Able to treat multiple spaces simultaneously
  • Less downtime than competing technologies
  • Precise measurement of H2O2 disbursement
  • Pre-conditioning of the area is not required

Hydrogen peroxide, one of the most environmentally friendly cleaning / decontamination processes available, has proven its effectiveness in reducing contaminants of biological microorganisms to below detectable levels. In fact, iHP effectively sterilises your clean environment by delivering six log (10-6) efficacy.

iHP acts as gas rather than vapour, making it lighter than traditional methods and providing excellent distribution properties. The act of ionisation positively charges the particles of hydrogen peroxide, that is, they repel each other and are attracted to all surfaces. This means that iHP can be used outdoors and in all room temperatures and humidity and is effective in killing micro-organisms even in more difficult areas to enter.

Small concentrations of hydrogen peroxide – Without harmful emissions, iHP is easily transported and secure for use by workers, giving them a significant advantage over other high-concentration systems that could be dangerous.

What is involved in a Covid-19 deep clean?

There is a large amount of preparatory work that goes into it during a Coronavirus decontamination (Covid-19 clean). The part of the treatment where we are actually doing a series of steps in an attempt to eradicate the virus is known as the phase of decontamination. What precedes that is what we call a deep clean.

With Coronavirus, or any other highly infectious disease we might be concerned with, our technicians must also take precautions to ensure that the right PPE is worn, and adequate measures are placed in place to avoid migration of infection.

With a deep cleaning in an area known to harbour an infectious disease, similar to Coronavirus (Covid-19), the technicians will wear full-face masks that require a formal face-fit test to certify that the seal is made between the technicians face and the mask with the correct philtres.

The cartridges we use for the masks in the case of Covid-19 are 3 M 6059 ABEK1, classified as combined gas philtres. These are essential for the filtering out of harmful organic vapours.

The Covid19 deep clean consists of a thorough manual cleaned to the area that will be treated by our technicians. Special attention is given to high-traffic areas that may be frequently touched, such as door handles, phones, computer keyboards, etc. The complete Covid-19 decontamination can only begin clean once the deep clean has been carried out. This will then follow the aforementioned 3 major steps.

Our technology is proven to eliminate Human and SARS Associated Coronavirus and we will continue to offer this solution as the best viable way to deal with the current outbreak until such time as definitive data for Covid-19 explicitly exists.

The sooner you tell us the problem the sooner we can solve it for you! We are here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year ready to assist, day or night, weekday, or bank holiday.

What areas should be prioritized for COVID-19 disinfection in non-health care settings?

Disinfection activities are critical in minimising the potential for COVID-19 virus exposure in non-health settings, such as at home, workplace, colleges, gyms, publicly accessible buildings, faith-based community centres, markets, transportation and business settings or restaurants. High-touch surfaces for priority disinfection such as door and window handles, kitchen and food preparation areas, counter tops, bathroom surfaces, toilets and taps, personal touch-screen devices, personal computer keyboards and work surfaces should be identified in these non-health care environments.

Frequently asked questions

Do you do homes as well?
The Air & Surface Decontamination service is usually open to both businesses and homeowners / renters, but during this unusual time logistics can be a challenge when completing treatments in people’s homes due to the British government’s lockdown. The land must be vacant while the procedure is being carried out. Free to give us a call, so that we can find a way to accommodate you together.
How effective is your decontamination services?
With industry-leading technology, and an experienced technical team, we can deliver almost unrivalled treatments. We can decontaminate as many as a log kill 6. This is decontaminated by 99.9999 %. To put some of the best off-the-shelf cleaning agents in perspective, they decontaminate to log kill 3, or 99.9%.
Is an overnight treatment an option?
Yes. We understand that it is difficult enough to keep your company running during this time. As standard Ideal Response works 24/7 365 days a year and so we are more than happy to meet your needs.
How quick can you respond?
Our emergency response services mean that our teams are able to deploy within 2-4 hours and be with you, although this can vary depending on your location.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Our antiviral deep cleaning service for Coronavirus (covid-19) related issues is currently covering England, Scotland, and Wales.
How do you keep the air decontaminated after treatment?
Holding the air decontaminated would require daily treatment with air. This is where our safety to the surface comes in. Our surface protection puts an anti-microbial coating (which is odourless and non-tacky) on the treated surfaces. This effectively puts up microscopic ‘barbs’ from all surfaces pointing up. When a micro-organism lands on the ground, it is broken apart entirely, ensuring that it cannot stabilise and replicate on the surface. Since most transmissions happen by contact, we consider this the most efficient way to manage them.
How much does this coronavirus decontamination cost?
Prices depend on the scale of the cubic metre-age properties. Our high-performance air & surface decontamination model for virus killing has a sliding pricing scale. We have to work it out based on cubic metres when calculating the duration of the treatment (as we treat the indoor air as well as the surfaces). This ensures that our rates are broken down to a cubic metre.
