Scientific research shows that disease-causing microorganisms, i.e., pathogens, can survive on different surfaces for hours or even days, and this ensures the continuity of the chain of infection, especially in enclosed living spaces.
The chain of infection is when microorganisms on surfaces enter the human body through various means, cause illness, and this becomes a cycle. For example, if a person touches an infected surface and then touches their nose, mouth, or eyes, the pathogen can directly enter the body; microorganisms mixed into the air from surfaces can reach the lungs through the respiratory tract; or by contaminating food surfaces, they can cause infection via the digestive system.
When an individual at home is infected, regular disinfection of surfaces can alleviate the progression of the disease, shorten its duration, and reduce the risk of infection for other individuals. Frequent disinfection of surfaces reduces the microbial load in environments touched by the infected person, thereby decreasing the amount of new microorganisms entering the body. This supports a quicker recovery from the illness with milder symptoms, while also preventing the start of a second chain of infection within the home.
Sterilisa Pro, with its chemical-free, contact-time-free patented Pulsed Light technology, provides a 99.99% microbial reduction on all surfaces. Contact points in an average home such as tables, countertops, door handles, beds, pillowcases, towels, sofas, toilets, and electronic devices can be effectively disinfected in just 3 minutes. Thus, the chain of disease can be broken with a 3-minute disinfection routine with Sterilisa Pro, preventing the progression of the disease and protecting healthy individuals.
