SteraMist™ Disinfection Services
Advanced Environmental Disinfection for Residential & Commercial Spaces
Some environments require more than traditional cleaning. When harmful bacteria, viruses, or microscopic contaminants are a concern, advanced disinfection technology can play a critical role in protecting health and restoring confidence in a space.
Through our partnership with TOMI™ Environmental Solutions and the TSN™ Network, we offer SteraMist™ disinfection as part of our comprehensive environmental cleaning and decontamination services. SteraMist™ is an EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant system that is effective in reducing and eliminating a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms in both residential and commercial settings.
Originally developed with support from DARPA, SteraMist™ is trusted in some of the most demanding environments and is now available as a practical, professional solution for everyday spaces.
What Is SteraMist™?
SteraMist™ uses Binary Ionization Technology™ (BIT™) to deliver a powerful disinfecting mist made from a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide. This mist breaks down harmful microorganisms at the cellular level while dispersing evenly throughout a space—including hard-to-reach areas that traditional cleaning methods may miss.
In simple terms:
The mist is extremely fine, allowing it to reach surfaces, air spaces, and crevices
It works quickly and effectively against bacteria and viruses
It breaks down into oxygen and water vapor after use
This makes SteraMist™ a highly effective and versatile disinfection option.
What Does SteraMist™ Treat?
SteraMist™ has proven efficacy against a broad range of microorganisms, including:
Pathogenic bacteria and viruses
Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs)
C. diff spores
MRSA
Norovirus
Influenza and other common viral threats
Because of its effectiveness, SteraMist™ is widely used in healthcare, laboratory, and controlled environments—but it is equally valuable in many everyday residential and commercial applications.
Commercial Uses of SteraMist™
SteraMist™ is well suited for facilities that prioritize health, safety, and operational continuity. Common commercial applications include:
Healthcare and medical-adjacent facilities
Laboratories and clean environments
Office buildings and shared workspaces
Educational facilities and childcare centers
Fitness centers and recreational facilities
Hospitality and lodging environments
Post-construction or pre-occupancy disinfection
Disinfection services can be scheduled as part of routine maintenance, response to illness exposure, or preparation for reopening or occupancy.
Residential Uses of SteraMist™
SteraMist™ is also an effective option for residential environments where enhanced disinfection is desired.
Residential applications may include:
Homes impacted by illness or viral exposure
Post-restoration or post-remediation disinfection
Odor-causing bacterial concerns
Homes with immunocompromised occupants
Preventive disinfection for peace of mind
This service is often paired with water damage restoration, mold services, biohazard cleanup, or environmental cleaning to support a healthier indoor environment.
A Safe, Professional Disinfection Process
Our trained technicians apply SteraMist™ using manufacturer-approved equipment and protocols. Each project is assessed individually to determine appropriate application methods and scope of service. When combined with proper cleaning and remediation, SteraMist™ provides an added layer of protection and confidence.
Part of a Comprehensive Approach
SteraMist™ disinfection is not a replacement for proper cleaning or remediation—it is a powerful complement. We integrate this technology into broader restoration, environmental cleaning, and specialty cleanup services when appropriate to deliver complete, professional results.
What Sets SteraMist™ Apart
Not all disinfection methods are created equal. SteraMist™ stands out because it delivers exceptional efficacy while remaining safe for use in real-world environments like offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and homes.
Exceptional Efficacy
SteraMist™ has a 99.9999% (six-log) kill rate, meaning it is proven to reduce even the most resilient bacteria and viruses to extremely low levels. This level of performance is why it is trusted in hospitals, laboratories, and other controlled environments where standard disinfectants fall short.
Safe for Sensitive Environments
Unlike many disinfectants that require extensive preparation or removal of items, SteraMist™ is designed to be used in occupied, functional spaces.
This makes SteraMist™ especially valuable for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and homes where removing contents would be disruptive or impractical.
Ultra-Fine Mist Technology
The Binary Ionization Technology™ (BIT™) creates an extremely fine mist that disperses evenly throughout a space. This allows the disinfectant to:
Reach surfaces traditional wiping and spraying can miss
Penetrate cracks, crevices, and air spaces
Treat both surfaces and the surrounding environment
Faster Turnaround, Less Disruption
Because SteraMist™ does not saturate surfaces or require extensive post-treatment cleanup, spaces can often be returned to use more quickly than with traditional fogging or chemical disinfection methods.
A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Disinfection
Compared to conventional fogging, spraying, or wipe-down methods, SteraMist™ offers:
Higher documented kill rates
Greater reach and consistency
Reduced risk to sensitive materials and equipment
Professional, repeatable results
