Sterifab has a proven ability to destroy microorganisms, killing bugs, fungus, germs, and viruses. It removes mold and mildew and eliminates pathogenic odors.

If you are using Sterifab for an institution, you may want to order our continuous action sprayer (CAS) to help with application over a large area. The CAS is fully labeled for use with Sterifab, conforms to all legal requirements, and is manufactured specifically to spray Sterifab. The CAS is free of any other chemicals or contaminants. The CAS is fitted with a nozzle that disperses Sterifab at a rate that supports our coverage estimates (1500 square feet per gallon).

How should we go about cleaning if we have a family member, or members, who are self-quarantining because they either have, or are suspected of having the virus?

Again, clean and disinfect all those heavily trafficked areas and often-touched surfaces: tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, and sinks, etc. Because Sterifab is nonresidual, someone in quarantine can go back into the disinfected room 15-20 minutes after the disinfectant is applied.

Sterifab isn’t harmful to fabrics or carpets, and it’s fast drying and completely clear. In fact, it can be used to treat virtually any inanimate object. What’s more, there is NO other EPA-registered product that can make these claims.

How should I take care of the infected person’s clothing, towels, linens and so forth?

Once again this requires something of a labor-intensive set of tasks, but try observing the following:

• If you’re not wearing gloves when you are handling dirty laundry, make sure you wash hands (thoroughly) afterwards.
• Do not wash an infected person’s laundry with other people’s items.

How much Sterifab do I need to order?

If you want to use Sterifab to disinfect your entire home, we recommend purchasing 1 gallon. This amount of Sterifab can treat about 1500 square feet. If you are ordering Sterifab for an institution, keep in mind that one carton of Sterifab single gallons will treat approximately 20-25 mattress sets (box spring and double mattress) and one carton of a 5 gallon Sterifab will treat approximately 30-35 mattress (box spring and double mattress) For use on upholstered furniture, it depends on the size of what you’re disinfecting. A typical couch or sofa will require 10-12 ounces per application.
