In today’s world, cleanliness is more than a visual standard—it’s a health and safety priority. But for many businesses, decontamination raises a tricky question: how do you thoroughly disinfect a space filled with sensitive electronics?
From retail stores with self-checkout kiosks to offices full of computers and hospitals lined with monitors and medical devices, commercial spaces in Southern California are packed with essential electronic equipment. A careless cleaning job could lead to costly damage. That’s why at Flue Steam, our decontamination services are designed to be both powerful and safe—even around your most sensitive technology.
Here’s how our approach protects your equipment while giving your facility a deep, EPA-registered clean.
The Risk of Using Harsh Chemicals Around Electronics
Standard disinfectants like bleach and ammonia may be effective at killing pathogens, but they can also corrode or short-circuit electronics. When sprayed or wiped inappropriately, these chemicals can:
- Leave behind residue that interferes with functionality
- Damage screens, keyboards, and touch-sensitive surfaces
- Corrode circuit boards or ports over time
- Void manufacturer warranties on expensive hardware
Even something as simple as fogging without the proper technique or product can result in unwanted moisture settling into electronics.
Flue Steam’s Safe, Non-Flammable Solution
At Flue Steam, we use an EPA-registered disinfectant that’s on EPA List N, meaning it’s proven effective against a wide range of viruses and bacteria, including COVID-19, MRSA, Hepatitis C, and SARS. But equally important, it’s safe to use around electronics and high-touch devices thanks to its non-flammable, low-corrosive formulation.
Our disinfectant is designed to:
- Sanitize without leaving harmful residues
- Minimize the risk of corrosion
- Be effective in misting/fogging applications that reach every surface—without soaking them
- Be safe enough for use around keyboards, phones, credit card machines, ATMs, and more
This means you can get the level of sanitation you need without worrying about unintended equipment damage.
Technicians Trained in PPE and Cross-Contamination Protocols
Sanitization is only as effective as the people delivering it. Our team is trained not just in chemical application but also in PPE best practices to ensure your facility is protected from cross-contamination. We take special care around delicate equipment, using targeted misting combined with manual wiping for high-touch surfaces.
Common areas we focus on include:
- Touchscreens and check-in kiosks
- POS systems and credit card terminals
- Time clocks and intercoms
- Conference room AV equipment
- Office phones, headsets, and shared devices
We understand that your business depends on these tools. That’s why our process is designed to disinfect without disruption.
Fast Re-Entry Time
Another key benefit? You can re-enter the treated area just 30 minutes after application. Unlike some industrial-grade disinfectants that require long downtime, our solution balances high efficacy with low re-entry time, keeping your operations running smoothly with minimal interruption.
Whether you’re preparing your space for reopening, responding to a potential exposure, or maintaining a regular disinfection schedule, we help you do it efficiently and safely.
