Is OmniShield500 a disinfectant? N
o, it is an EPA registered surface protectant and requires disinfection of the surface prior to applying the protectant. (Fun Planners additionally Disinfects all surfaces)
Is it EPA registered?
Yes
Is it safe for food surfaces?
Yes.
Why does it say “up to 90 days’?
High touch surfaces might wear down quicker than areas such as walls or side of furniture, so those areas (door knobs, hand rails, elevator buttons, faucets, etc..) would most likely need to be sprayed more frequently.
Does daily cleaning wear OMNIShield off of surfaces?
No. Surfaces can still be cleaned and disinfected daily and multiple times per day as needed. OMNIShield is only worn down by continuous abrasion and muriatic acid.
Do we still need to disinfect?
Yes, but not as frequently once OMNIShield is applied. The nanospikes, once dried, inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surfaces where applied, porous and non-porous.
Is this safe for clothes and furniture?
Yes. An electrostatic sprayer is recommended so water droplets are finer and create better coverage.
Can OMNIShield be applied outside?
Yes. It can be applied to outside equipment, walkways, buildings, doors, playgrounds, handles, walls, etc.
Does it protect against COVID-19?
We do not have conclusive test data specifically against this strain of coronavirus because it is so new, but this molecule has been tested against other coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS. It also protects against bacteria, which are typically more difficult to kill than viruses.
