As the globe continues to manage the pandemic, schools and teachers are working with health organizations to prepare for a year of face-to-face learning. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 56.4 million children are enrolled in K-12 education. In 2018, the NCES recorded 3.3 million full-time and part-time public school teachers, 205,600 public charter school teachers, and 509,200 private school teachers. With the emergence of variants such as Delta, schools are challenged to employ the right cleaning solutions to minimize the spread of COVID, among other common viruses and bacteria.

While school is a place of learning and skill development, it’s also a hotspot for viruses and bacteria. Young children are oftentimes the main demographic to catch and spread illnesses, such as the common cold and strep.

To fully open the doors this upcoming back to school season, a new method of disinfecting must take place. The typical method of disinfecting surfaces is the spray and wipe method. While effective, this traditional approach to cleaning doesn’t address viruses and bacteria that are not just surface-borne but also air-borne.

Backed by microbiological testing, Paerosol’s Dry Spray Technology can be used to deploy a dry spray that disinfects all highly touched surfaces and airborne bacteria. This non-toxic solution kills air and surface-borne mold, bacteria, and viruses, even penetrating through fabrics, such as curtains, rugs, and bookbags at up to a 99.9999% rate of effectiveness.

The Dry Sprayer can disinfect either small or large spaces, removing the tedious task of spraying and wiping each individual item and surface. Paerosol’s unit is easy to deploy by any cleaning professional without requiring specialized training.    

“Our technology kills air and surface borne mold, bacteria, and viruses at such a high rate of effectiveness. We’ve conducted studies with schools and organizations during the pandemic. The results show that by consistently utilizing Paerosol’s technology, schools are able to reduce the spread of viruses impacting students and staff on the school campus,“ comments Steve Gareleck, CEO, Paerosol.

In mid-April, UNESCO reported 192 countries had closed all schools and universities, affecting more than 90 percent of the world’s population: almost 1.6 billion students. While other industries started to open doors during the summer months, most educational facilities continued to be largely closed because of the unknown of the pandemic. Although schools are reopening with strict safety guidelines, many individuals continue to fear for the health and safety of themselves and/or children because schools can be breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and viruses.

Nearly 55 million students and 7 million staff members attend the more than 130,000 public and private schools across the United States. Educational facilities are faced with a significant challenge, constantly fighting bacteria and viruses that come and go as often as the faculty, staff, and students do.  In a normal year, the economic loss due to teacher absenteeism is $25.2 billion with a direct impact on each child’s learning.  Add the pandemic to these already staggering numbers, and the impact is catastrophic.

“Paerosol understands the unique needs of each industry and environment. We have years of scientific data and tests to provide the technology’s efficacy,” comments Steve Gareleck, CEO, Paerosol.  “Our goal is to provide the right equipment and solution to schools and universities that saves time, money, and ultimately provides a long-term solution to fighting any virus.”

Backed by microbiological testing, the Dry Sprayer deploys a dry spray to disinfect all highly touched surfaces and airborne bacteria routinely. This non-toxic solution kills air- and surface-borne mold, bacteria, and viruses, even penetrating through fabrics such as curtains, rugs, and bookbags, thoroughly disinfecting without harm to it or its user.
