During the Coronavirus crisis, McHenry PCS is trying to do our part to provide our essential customers with service, support, and ways to help combat this war on the virus. Below is how our offered equipment and chemicals can be used to assist you in cleaning, sanitizing and hopefully winning the war!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is what we\u2019ll be going over:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Optima Steam Cleaners<\/a> have the capability to clean and sanitize both indoors and outdoors. McHenry PCS offers the Optima Steam Cleaner in several different configurations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Optima Steam Cleaners have automatic temperature and pressure controls and kill bacteria due to the fact that it can get up to 270 degrees Fahrenheit output temperatures. Because they produce vapor steam, they provide great indoor cleaning with no runoff or overspray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can it Kill the Coronavirus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Optima Steam Cleaners have proven to be effective in killing other viruses in the past, but can this cross-industry cleaner kill the novel coronavirus<\/a>? While there is no specific validation that the Optima Steam Cleaners can kill the coronavirus, the data is looking promising! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Centers for Disease Control<\/a> (CDC), the World Health Organization<\/a> (WHO), and scientists are working hard to understand this new virus and learning ways to either prevent or stop the spread of COVID-19. Research is indicating that the virus is killed when it comes into contact with moisture and temperatures that are greater than 175 degrees Fahrenheit, otherwise known as steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proper Use vs Viruses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In order for the Optima Steam Cleaners to properly kill bacteria and viruses, the proper containment and disinfection methods must be followed. With guidance from the CDC, the EPA has outlined a list of proper disinfectants<\/a> that can be used against COVID-19. When purchasing a disinfectant product, check if its EPA registration number is included on the EPA\u2019s list; if it is, you have a match and the product can be used to help prevent or kill the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should always be worn when pressure cleaning, but especially when you are cleaning surfaces that have potentially been contaminated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal Protective Equipment can include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any type of spraying or cleaning can disturb the contagions, rendering them airborne, so it is important that clothing and porous materials are deemed hazardous and treated as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ordering A Steam Cleaner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re interested in equipment financing options for Optima Steam Cleaners, please contact us<\/strong><\/a> or try our lease calculator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanitation crews in other countries have been using hot water pressure washers to clean and sanitize outdoor areas. However, the effectiveness of using hot water pressure washers to eliminate the contagions emitted by COVID-19 has not been verified by the CDC or the WHO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n McHenry PCS carries hot water pressure washers<\/a> for rent and sale that can be used during or after the novel coronavirus outbreak. Our hot water pressure washers can remove any trace of grease, grime, and contamination when used with quality ingredients. McHenry’s hot water pressure washers are available in gas, diesel, LP, natural gas, and electric drive, portable and stationary units, and offer a wide range of PSI\/GPM output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Custom Units<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We offer a variety of custom-built<\/a> pressure washers for industries such as food processing, manufacturing, construction, transportation and more! To help us better assist you, please take a moment to fill out the contact us<\/a> form on our website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vital Oxide offers many advantages over other products in helping fight the Corona Virus. Vital Oxide is an EPA registered disinfectant cleaner, mold killer, and super effective odor eliminator. Ready to use with no mixing required, just spray, wipe or fog right from the bottle. Non-irritating to the skin and non-corrosive to treated articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uses and Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The SaniMister 500 is designed for dispensing sanitizer or disinfectants for eradication of bacteria, virus, fungus, and spores. Its on-board disinfectant tank allows more mobility and ease of use. Fighting Against COVID-19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Soaps are made of soap molecules that have water averse and water-attracting properties. When water is introduced, the attracting parts of the molecule are able to dissolve fatty substances and liquids, like the ones that encase the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soaps can dissolve the protective coating around the virus and render it less likely to survive, and then rinsing with water removes it from the surface completely. Essentially, soaps are effective in breaking down the virus and then the water used to rinse can remove the virus altogether.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During the Coronavirus crisis, McHenry PCS is trying to do our part to provide our essential customers with service, support, and ways to help combat this war on the virus.
