A method and apparatus for decontaminating substantially enclosed environments by using ultrasonic cavitation of a cleaning fluid to produce a low pressure, low air flow mist that can be activated by a nonthermal plasma actuator to create a cloud of activated hydroxyl species with the capacity to decontaminate articles, open surfaces or substantially enclosed spaces of pathogens, including bacteria, and other pathogenic microorganisms. An automated system and related non-transitory computer medium are also disclosed.

The invention provides a method of microbial control in water comprising adding to the water one or more bromine-based biocide(s) and cis-2-decenoic acid or a salt thereof. Compositions in the form of liquid concentrates comprising bromine-based biocides and cis-2-decenoic acid or a salt thereof are also described.

Methods and devices for rendering hand gloves antibacterial are disclosed. A hand glove comprising a non-woven, porous, and/or hydrophobic sheet can be impregnated with a sanitizing-based solution on an exterior surface. The sanitizing-based solution, which can be a porous alcohol or a non-alcohol based solution that contains functional ingredients can be used to kill germs and bacteria during initial contact with surfaces. After impregnation with the sanitizing-based solution, the hand glove can provide functionality that allows the sanitizing-based solution to uniformly adhere to the hand glove such that a gloved hand can touch and clean surfaces while keeping hands protected and safeguarded.

Disclosed are methods and compounds useful for forming coatings applied to porous and non-porous surfaces to make the surface antimicrobial and to protect against contaminants. The coatings are formed from phenolic compounds present in a solvent either alone or in combination with other compounds, such as metallic salts.

A device for cleaning a top of a beverage can. The device includes a main-body and a cleaning-member. The cleaning-member is saturated with a cleaning composition. The cleaning composition includes an amount of sanitizer or disinfectant such as alcohol, sufficient to at least reduce, if not kill or inactivate, pathogenic matter located on the top of the beverage can.

A wearable dispenser with a replaceable one-time-use reservoir device is taught, comprising a wrist-band allowing the wearable dispenser to be worn by a user; a base connected to the wrist-band; and a replaceable one-time-use reservoir. The replaceable one-time-use reservoir is comprised of a flexible bladder holding a substance to be dispensed, a housing with a rigid perimeter wall, a flexible top surface attached to the rigid perimeter wall and covering the flexible bladder, a one-way valve, an opening, and a substance to be dispensed. Typically, the substance to be dispensed is hand sanitizer. A user may use their fingertip to press the flexible top surface. Doing so creates additional pressure within the flexible bladder, causing the substance to be dispensed.

A method for sanitizing an indoor environment includes placing a high-output hydroxyl generator within an indoor environment and commencing a hydroxyl shock treatment of the indoor environment by activating the high-output hydroxyl generator. The method also includes applying a disinfectant to hard surfaces or soft surfaces within the indoor environment and applying a microbial growth prevention agent to flooring or the hard surfaces within the indoor environment. The method also includes deactivating the high-output hydroxyl generator and removing the high-output hydroxyl generator from the indoor environment.

Air Sterilizing Apparatus for Lifts is made up of one or more fans and a series of filters consisting of a HEPA filter, composed of a mesh of fibers, an active carbon filter, designed to eliminate odors, and a titanium filter, which together with the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the germicidal lamp, generates hydroxyl radicals, that allow the sterilization of the air that circulates through the device, purifying the air in the spaces where it is installed.

An apparatus includes a notification unit configured to notify a user of information, and a controller configured to identify at least one unit based on an operation performed by the user among a plurality of units included in the apparatus, wherein the notification unit can notify the user of first information indicating the identified at least one unit and second information regarding disinfection of the identified at least one unit.

This present invention relates to a portable disinfection device for dispersing a unique disinfecting solution into a room or enclosed space. The disinfecting solution may comprise one or more of a an ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, a lemon or fruit scent, an aldehyde, a chlorine compound, an oxidizing agent, a phenol, a quaternary ammonium, and a propellant, wherein the amount of the ethyl or isopropyl alcohol is at least 60% of the disinfecting solution by weight. The disinfecting solution is stored in a pressurized canister, and a release tab is pressed down for controlling the release of the disinfecting solution into the room from the canister. The disinfecting solution kills 99.9% of the germs and pathogens that it contacts.
