Who is OASIS Property Management?
OASIS is an Altoona based company focused on Electrostatic Disinfecting since 2006. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been providing proactive treatments to businesses in Blair and surrounding counties. Our staff are all certified Infection Prevention Specialists and provide the industry best treatments to eliminate harmful pathogens and viruses such as Coronavirus and Influenza just to mention a few.
We only use a neutral pH hospital grade EPA List N disinfectant with 99.999% efficacy. With 20 years’ experience, we have seen many businesses use products that did not meet industry standards and provided a false sense of security.
OASIS offers both 30-day and 90-day preventative treatments. Preventative treatments offer an active kill for 24 hours and a residual kill for up to 30/90 days. Emergency treatments are completed the same day that our office is contacted so that the business may open the next day. Our 90-day treatments are billed over 3 months for a budget friendly option.
What Equipment Is Used?
Electrostatic spraying is the most efficient and effective way to apply a disinfectant. This method evenly coats surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas or irregularly shaped objects like chairs or items on a table. Regular spraying or fogging only covers what the sprayer is pointing at while electrostatic spraying “wraps” the spray around objects. In addition, electrostatic spraying is safer than other methods. Ultra-low volume foggers, for example, aerosolize the disinfectant, making it airborne and potentially causing respiratory distress in users without proper personal protective equipment.
What Product Is Used?
More important than the application method used is the product used. When fighting the coronavirus, providers should only use a product on the EPA’s List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2. But just because a product is on List N does not make it safe. In addition, many disinfectants have extremely high or extremely low pH levels, making them harmful to surfaces in the long term. Disinfectants are regulated as pesticides and should be treated as such. The safest disinfectants have a Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS) rating of 0.0.0.0, have a near-neutral pH level, and are NSF-certified as food-grade safe. Our disinfectant has both the rating of 0.0.0.0 and a neutral pH of 7.4 making it one of the safest disinfectant to humans, pets and plants while extremely effective against harmful pathogens.
What Experience Does Our Staff Have?
A tool is only as good as its user. It is important to make sure technicians have the necessary experience and expertise. Lack of training can result in inconsistent coverage and damaged surfaces or equipment. Our owner and staff are trained and certified in infection prevention through the Academy of Cleaning Excellence (ACE), the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) or a similar organization.
For safety and performance reasons, disinfecting is best left to trained professionals. However, that does not mean it cannot be cost-efficient. Ultimately, you want to look for qualified companies that are more interested in building a long-term relationship with you than in getting rich quick.
