Building on our previous article, we’ve gathered and answered some frequently asked questions about fogging devices and disinfectants. If you’re considering using these devices for disinfecting your space, read on for practical insights!

1. Where Can Fogging Disinfectants Be Used?

Fogging devices are versatile and can be used across a wide range of environments — especially in high-traffic areas such as schools, offices, kindergartens, healthcare facilities, and public spaces. They help eliminate airborne contaminants and ensure thorough disinfection of surfaces. Their efficiency and ease of use make them a valuable addition to any cleaning routine.

2. How Does the Fogging Disinfection Process Work?

The process of disinfection using a fogger is simple and effective. Here’s how:

  • Prepare the area: Remove dust and dirt to ensure the disinfectant reaches all surfaces.
  • Fill the fogger: Add your chosen disinfectant to the machine’s tank.
  • Fog the area: Activate the device to distribute the disinfectant evenly in the air and on surfaces.
  • No drying required: After fogging, allow the disinfectant to settle — no wiping needed.

Always follow the specific instructions from the disinfectant manufacturer and the device manual for best results.

3. Does Fogging Replace Regular Cleaning?

Fogging or misting devices do not replace regular cleaning routines. While they effectively eliminate pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, they do not remove physical dirt or dust. To maintain a hygienic environment, use fogging as an additional step — alongside your normal cleaning practices.

4. How Long Does the Disinfectant Effect Last?

The duration of protection depends on the disinfectant used and the surface. High-quality options, such as Logic Sept’s biobased disinfectants, offer long-lasting effects without the need for frequent reapplication. Always follow product guidelines for contact time and reapplication intervals.

5. How Often Should Disinfection Be Performed?

Frequency depends on the space and its usage. Public spaces and high-contact areas may require daily disinfection, while homes can follow a weekly or as-needed schedule. Adjust your routine based on activity levels to maintain optimal hygiene.

6. Can Disinfectants Damage Surfaces?

Some disinfectants, especially those with high alcohol content, can cause damage or discoloration on certain surfaces. Choosing a compatible product is key. Logic Sept’s biobased disinfectants are designed to be gentle on materials, offering effective disinfection with reduced risk of surface damage.

7. How to Disinfect Sensitive Items Like Fabrics or Electronics?

Delicate items require extra care. Many disinfectants may harm fabrics or electronic devices. Select products that are tested for safe use on sensitive surfaces. Logic Germ offers eco-friendly disinfectants that are suitable for a wide range of materials, including fabrics and electronics.

Conclusion

Fogging devices and disinfectants are effective tools for maintaining a safe, hygienic environment — when used correctly. Combine them with regular cleaning and choose products that are both effective and gentle on surfaces. By incorporating fogging into your routine, you can protect your spaces from harmful pathogens with ease.
