Tampa Disinfection Company Booming After Swine Flu Scare

TAMPA, Fla., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Three-year-old Air & Surface Disinfection (ASD) announced today their business has dramatically increased since the latest Swine Flu scare. ASD treats homes, businesses and other facilities with disinfectant solutions that provide continuous residual antimicrobial activity for up to 6 months.

Kevin Renner, President and Founder said, "Since we started three years ago, we were fairly busy disinfecting homes and offices to remove smells and kill germs, but the recent Swine Flu scare has really created a demand for an affordable way to disinfect a home or office for up to six months. At 13 cents per square foot, the average home is around $350; not that you can put a price tag on health, but to most families and businesses it's worth it."

Renner had planned to start this business when he lived in New Orleans but Hurricane Katrina halted those plans and resulted in his relocation to the Florida area. Interestingly, the same storm was something of a rebirth for the products that ASD uses, which have been around for over 30 years.

ASD's state-of-the-art equipment disperses a disinfectant solution that cleans and deodorizes. The active ingredient within the spray is Phenol, which is found in most chloraseptic sprays. Prior to treating, ASD will also use a HEPA air scrubber machine to clean the air and remove airborne toxins. The products that ASD uses are hypoallergenic and EPA-registered for mold remediation, air duct cleaning and carpet decontamination. They provide a 99.9% kill rate of pathogenic, vegetative organisms and continuous residual bacteriostatic and mold inhibiting activity for up to 6 months. The solution is non-corrosive to surfaces including plastics, latex, vinyl, glass, treated wood, metal and glazed porcelain.

The only side-effect is a hospital-like smell, which will last a couple of days after the treatment. Other chemicals are available to treat mold and additional contaminants, but they can be expensive with insurance companies cracking down on mold claims. Air & Surface Disinfection's services can provide a handy remedy.
