How UV-C Disinfection Works

Commercial cleaning companies use devices equipped with UV-C technology that eliminates pathogens by using ultraviolet light. The device emits UV-C rays for a certain amount of time to rid surfaces of pathogens like bacteria and viruses. UV-C disinfection is completely chemical-free, making it ideal for places where chemicals could affect its visitors and occupants. UV-C disinfection is perfect for medical buildings, schools, nursing homes, gyms, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, and more. Although UV-C disinfection is quicker than traditional disinfection methods, it only disinfects–not cleans. This means that the area must be thoroughly cleaned before you can use UV-C technology. Additionally, UV-C technology should be used with caution to prevent injury.   Even if you don’t plan on using UV-C technology any time soon, it’s always a great idea to keep up with the trends in your industry like how Ultraviolet-C technology is used in commercial cleaning.
