Balancing your school’s sanitation needs, appearance, and budget is challenging. We make it possible for you to achieve all of your goals while making the most of your janitorial budget.

Why We Use Electrostatic Sprayers For Efficient School Disinfection

Throughout your school, hundreds of surfaces could be covered with pathogens that cause and spread illness. It’s difficult to get to these surfaces to disinfect them. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Traditional disinfecting methods offer only limited coverage. To reduce the cause of illness at its source, we use a revolutionary way to reach and kill pathogens almost everywhere.

The electrostatic sprayer system turns the liquid into small droplets. Then the sprayer applies a charge to each drop so they are attracted to and adhere to surfaces with a force greater than gravity. The coverage is superior. It spreads over, under and around surfaces.

Our electrostatic system saves you time, money and labor. We can cover up to 300 square feet in just 60 seconds. In an hour, up to 18,000 square feet, compared to only 3,900 square feet with a trigger sprayer.

Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation (COG) Sued for Faulty Gas Wells and Water Pollution

According to the complaint, Cabot failed to disclose and made misleading statements surrounding the company's inadequate environmental controls and procedures, including its failure to fix faulty gas wells resulting in the pollution of local PA water supplies. Cabot consistently downplayed the potential civil and criminal liabilities that could result, despite the likelihood that these accusations would lead to serious governmental scrutiny and financial harm. On July 26, 2019, Cabot filed a Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2019, disclosing that the company had received two notices of violation from the PA Department of Environmental Protection in June and November of 2017, for failing to prevent the migration of gas into local fresh groundwater sources. On this news, Cabot's shares fell 12.07% the same day. Then, on June 15, 2020, following a grand jury investigation, the PA attorney general's office charged Cabot with fifteen criminal counts related to the company's failure to fix faulty gas wells and the resulting water pollution. On this news, Cabot's shares fell 3.34%, closing at $19.40 per share on June 15, 2020.
