Refer to applicable fogging or misting guideline section below for more information. Allow mist or vapor to settle onto surfaces and remain wet for ten minutes. Thoroughly clean and wipe all hard, non-porous surfaces with Sporicidin® Disinfectant Solution using clean cloth, sponge or mop (Sporicidin® Disinfectant Towelettes [Wipes] are ideal when working in containment areas). Allow surfaces to air dry.

Fogging: Sporicidin® Disinfectant Solution is recommended for fogging surfaces and articles in sealed rooms adjunct to manual cleaning and disinfecting. Vacate the area to be fogged. Seal windows, doors, air intakes and ducts. Fill fogging device with Sporicidin® and set timer for treatment cycle as recommended by manufacturer. Turn on the device, leave the room area and seal the door. Enter the area after it has been properly ventilated.

Misting Applications: Misting treatments may be applied using a pressure sprayer, trigger sprayer or an electric fogging device and Sporicidin® Disinfectant Solution. Seal all doors, windows and intake ducts or vents. Vacate the area to be treated. Personnel remaining in the contained area should wear personal protective equipment (PPE) during the misting application in accordance with OSHA Respiratory Protection Standards (see Respiratory Protection notice below). Fill misting device with Sporicidin® Disinfectant Solution and adjust device output to desired settings. Mist disinfectant into air and onto articles and/or surfaces allow remaining wet for 10 minutes. Vacate room and reseal door. Treated area should remain sealed for 15 to 30 minutes after the misting application is complete. Ventilate treated area prior to commencing normal cleaning procedures. Follow regular Sporicidin® cleaning and disinfecting procedures upon returning to the treated area.
