It's a great question that shows you're focused on doing the job right. Here’s a simple breakdown:

• Cleaning removes visible dirt, grime, and debris from a surface.
• Sanitizing lowers the number of germs on surfaces to a safe level, as judged by public health standards.
• Disinfecting uses chemicals to kill germs and microorganisms on surfaces. Disinfect Pro is an EPA-registered disinfectant designed to kill mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria on hard, non-porous surfaces. It's a critical step in effective **HVAC and facility disinfection**.

Yes, it is. Disinfect Pro is specifically formulated for use on hard, non-porous surfaces commonly found within HVAC systems, such as evaporator coils and drain pans. Using the right product is essential for a complete **HVAC and facility disinfection**.

USDA Authorization means that the product's chemistry has been reviewed and is considered acceptable for use in and around food processing areas, such as federally inspected meat and poultry plants. For you as a contractor, this is your most powerful selling point for clients in sensitive environments like restaurants, commercial kitchens, and schools. It immediately tells them the product meets a high standard for use where safety and compliance are critical for proper **HVAC and facility disinfection**.

That's an excellent question. Disinfect Pro aerosol has a light, fresh citrus scent during application, but it is not an overpowering air freshener. The scent is specifically designed to dissipate quickly from the environment, leaving the space smelling genuinely clean and neutral once the area is dry. The primary goal is to eliminate the underlying sources of malodor—like mold and bacteria—not to mask them. So, the final result your client will notice isn't a lingering fragrance, but the welcome absence of the old musty or "Dirty Sock Syndrome" smell, which is a key part of **HVAC and facility disinfection**.

Dwell time (or contact time) is the period a disinfectant must remain visibly wet on a surface to effectively kill the germs listed on its label. Shortening this time drastically reduces the product's efficacy. Adhering to the full 10-minute dwell time for Disinfect Pro is critical to ensure you are actually disinfecting the surface, not just cleaning it. This step is non-negotiable for effective **HVAC and facility disinfection**.

For HVAC applications on coils and drain pans, a post-application rinse is generally not required. The product is designed to do its job and then dry. However, for any food-contact surfaces (like a kitchen counter), a potable water rinse is required after disinfection. Always read and follow the specific directions on the product label for the surface you are treating. Proper rinsing is a vital component of successful **HVAC and facility disinfection**.

Frame it as a solution to their problems. Instead of just "disinfecting the coil," explain that you are "eliminating the source of that musty office smell" or "improving system efficiency to help manage energy costs." Connect the service to tangible benefits they care about: better air quality for their staff and customers, preventing future issues, and creating a healthier, more pleasant indoor environment. Communicating these benefits is key to selling your **HVAC and facility disinfection** service.

For residential and most commercial HVAC systems, offering a disinfection service as part of a semi-annual maintenance plan (especially in the fall and spring) is a great baseline. For high-traffic or sensitive environments like healthcare facilities, schools, or busy restaurants, a more frequent facility-wide disinfection protocol for high-touch surfaces may be recommended to help them maintain a higher standard of hygiene. This regular service is vital for successful **HVAC and facility disinfection**.
