Our specialist Coronavirus cleaning services

Controlling the risk of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the workplace is essential to your premises being able to open and remain open. It’s Clean offer specialist COVID-19 office cleaning services dedicated to minimising the risk to your employees and members of the public, and ensuring operational continuity. One of these specialist services is Fogging Cleaning, and the other is Touch Point Cleaning.

What is Fogging Disinfection and where can it be used?

For internal areas, a Fogging machine generates very small airborne droplets of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, which offer excellent biological inactivation and is one of the most environmentally friendly of all the gaseous decontamination processes. Fogging is widely used in Singapore, USA, China and many other countries for large area infection control. Fogging is a proven method rather than a new technology, though its application is relatively new to the UK.

In the Fogging process, the mist of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds immediately disrupts the envelope membrane of the virus, which exposes the nucleocapsid, affecting its ability to infect subsequent cells.

How does Fogging Disinfection work?

Fogging releases an incredibly fine mist through the atmosphere to land on all surfaces and disinfect them, killing viruses and ensuring your areas are completely sanitised.

At It’s Clean, our fogging cleaning process is ideally suited to specific area targeting in a building. We use a much safer, nontoxic chemical which doesn’t involve using noxious chemicals. This means we can apply fogging to any area in your premises that needs more targeted disinfection. Our Fogging cleaning process is also certified to BS EN 13697:2015+A1:2019.
What are the benefits of Fogging Disinfection?

Cold Fogging cleaning delivers the following benefits:


  • Fastest and easiest way of sanitising large areas with minimum disruption.
  • Ideal for outbreak control measures and for use in all environments including commercial offices, care homes, GP surgeries, dental practices, shops and schools.
  • Complete room disinfection to 4-Log validation (99.9999%).
  • As well as viruses, the process also kills bacteria, fungi and mould.
  • Pre and post chemical test indicators prove if there has been sufficient exposure to the Fogging process.
  • High penetration of hard to reach areas.
  • Non-corrosive, no wiping (which only removes 11% of harmful bacteria Source: British Medical Journal ), and no residue.
  • Suitable for medical and all electronic equipment.
  • If adequately ventilated, treated areas are safe to occupy within 1 hour.
  • Long-lasting protection.


How is Fogging best implemented in the workplace?

To be most effective we highly recommend the Fogging cleaning process is combined with Touch-Point Cleaning just prior to Fogging. 


For external environments, the sanitising process we use is called “Soft Washing”. Water-based biodegradable chemicals; a blend of Sodium Hypochlorite, soaps, surfactants and water, are delivered under low pressure to surfaces which may have become contaminated.

  • Can you give me a quote over the phone or by email?

    A full site survey is the best way to accurately quote for your cleaning needs and allows us the opportunity to discuss your requirements with you in detail.

  • What chemicals are used in the Fogging process?

    Our fogging process is completely non-toxic. We use a chemical called Nilaqua which is certified to BS EN 13697:2015+A1:2019.


    When scientific tests were carried out, it showed that Nilaqua was effective in killing viruses after one application and the effectiveness was sustained for a minimum of 30 days.


    We are confident that this is the best non-toxic chemical to use for Fogging.

  • Can Fogging be used around electrical equipment?

    These solutions are applicable for airborne and surface contamination control and unlike some other alternatives, we use a ‘dry mist’ solution. This means electrical equipment including computers etc. are completely safe to be left in-situ whilst the Fogging takes place.

  • How soon after Fogging can my staff return?

    Premises should be vacated for 1 hour after Fogging, before being used again. This applies to well ventilated areas.
