UV Disinfection service
Whiter than White UV light cleaning service uses UVC light, the same used in hospitals and labs, as well as food, air, and water purification facilities. UVC light is proven to be 99.9% effective by disrupting the DNA of viruses and bacteria, rendering them inactivated and unable to reproduce. We use the most effective lamps available, designed to target COVID-19, allergens, bacteria, mold, and viruses on surfaces and in the air.
This is an extra service we offer, and it can be ordered as an extra with any of our other cleaning services.
Safe, Chemical-free, and Environmentally-friendly
Our UV disinfecting service uses germicidal lamps that are Ozone free, eco-friendly, and specifically designed for home disinfecting purposes. These lamps have been thoroughly tested for efficacy as well as safety in FDA and EPA certified ISO 17025 Standard laboratories located in the USA.
The Science and How It Works
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic radiation and a component of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength range between 100 and 400 nm. This type of light is broken up into four separate regions, with Ultraviolet C, or UVC (200 nm to 280 nm), being used for disinfection.
In a study by the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC), researched look at the use of UVC to kill large amounts of new coronavirus in a liquid culture environment. The results showed UVC light exposure inactivated the virus completed in 9 minutes. SARS-CoV-2 showed high susceptibility to UV radiation and the data confirmed that UVC light is effective in inactivating the virus.
In another AJIC study, UVC was able to successfully reduce the live coronavirus on laboratory surfaces by 99.7% in 30 seconds. The results of the study suggest ultraviolet light could be used for prevention and control against COVID-19 in both occupied and unoccupied spaces.
