LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) Colorado small businesses are looking for ways to disinfect their spaces ahead of reopening in the near future. <\/p>\n
In Larimer County, salon owner Jennifer Eichhorn says shes turning to dry fog technology to help keep her staff and clients safe.<\/p>\n
Im willing to do anything extra I can right now, said Eichhorn.<\/p>\n
Eichhorn was set to open the fourth location of The Screamin Peach Waxing Studio just as businesses started shutting down.<\/p>\n
Its been extremely difficult to navigate through this, said Eichhorn.<\/p>\n
Shes now ready to bring a small amount of staff back to the salon but wants to make sure theyre protected. She says thats why she enlisted the help of Pure Maintenance of Colorado, a company specializing in dry fog technology. <\/p>\n
Ryan Taylor, Managing Partner with the company says it was recently learned their chemicals are effective against the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n
It gets in and around every crack. It gets the underside of tables, the top of tables, pushing into fabric and furniture, said Taylor.<\/p>\n
Taylor says the chemicals used disrupt the virus, making the environment essentially uninhabitable for it. He says their process kills the virus on surfaces and also provides a level of protection for up to 90 days.<\/p>\n
Essentially, it prevents against surface-to-person transfer. It cant protect against person-to -person transfer but we can certainly protect against surface-to-person transfer, said Taylor.<\/p>\n
Taylor says theyve seen an increase in the number of inquiries as many small businesses are preparing to reopen in some capacity.<\/p>\n
I do hope that sooner rather than later, this isnt a necessary thing. Theres always value in preventative maintenance, said Taylor.<\/p>\n
