The recent cancellation of singer Jackie Cheung's concert due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection underscores the severe threat posed by this virus, particularly to the elderly and those with chronic conditions. Professor Ivan Hung from the University of Hong Kong warns that RSV cases have surged by over 70% since April, with the peak expected in July and August. This article explores the nature of RSV, its impact on vulnerable populations, seasonal challenges, and the critical importance of disinfection and hygiene measures.

The recent outbreaks of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among infants in Hong Kong hospitals have raised concerns among healthcare professionals and parents alike. These outbreaks highlight the need for heightened vigilance and effective infection control measures in healthcare facilities. To combat the spread of MRSA, hospitals are implementing rigorous infection control measures, including enhanced screening, cleaning and disinfection, contact transmission prevention protocols, and risk assessment. The role of smart robotics like Whiz Gambit, premium hospital-grade disinfectants like Nanocyn, and indoor environmental hygiene assessment is also emphasized in reducing MRSA transmission, particularly in high-risk populations.

Introducing cleaning robots into your business operations is like learning a new sport—precision, strategy, and teamwork are key to success. This blog post provides a playbook for integrating robotic automation, from warming up with a phased approach to maintaining peak performance through routine maintenance and feedback huddles.

Cleaning and disinfection robots are not just trendy gadgets; they're powerful tools that are reshaping the cleaning industry. In this blog post, we explore the top five reasons why industry leaders are rapidly adopting these technological wonders, from unparalleled efficiency and consistency to cost savings, health enhancements, and tech advancement.

In a groundbreaking case study at HKVNS Alumni Association Kindergarten (KCC) in October 2023, Whiz Gambit, Avalon Steritech's advanced cleaning solution, demonstrated its unparalleled impact on school sanitation. By significantly reducing surface contaminants and creating a pristine learning environment, Whiz Gambit has set a new benchmark for student health and safety.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in preventing the spread of diseases. However, many people still confuse these two terms, leading to inadequate practices. Cleanliness focuses on the physical appearance of surfaces, while hygiene is driven by practices and measures taken to maintain health and prevent disease spread, even when a surface appears clean. Understanding the factors that affect the survival of pathogens on surfaces is crucial in developing effective cleaning protocols.

While a visually clean environment may give the impression of being hygienic, it does not necessarily guarantee actual cleanliness. To ensure a truly clean and safe environment, it is essential to adopt a scientific approach to measure surface cleanliness. Among various methods, ATP bioluminescence testing stands out as the preferred choice for its speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, choosing the right disinfectant has become more crucial than ever. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs) stand out as the optimal choice for disinfection due to their proven efficacy in reducing viral contamination, compatibility with various surfaces, and low potential for health hazards.

In the ongoing fight against infectious diseases, disinfectants play a crucial role in preventing the spread of harmful microorganisms. To ensure that these products are effective in real-world settings, they must undergo rigorous testing against a variety of common pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Disinfectants have become an essential tool in maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of infections. However, with a wide array of products available on the market, each with its own set of claims and instructions, it can be challenging for consumers to decipher the information presented on disinfectant labels.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, concerns about the effectiveness of disinfectants against SARS-CoV-2 variants have risen. However, unlike vaccines that rely on recognizing specific viral proteins, disinfectants work by targeting the virus's physical structure. This means that disinfectants effective against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain remain effective against its variants.

In a world where pathogenic microorganisms pose a constant threat to public health, disinfectants have become an indispensable tool in our fight against environmental contamination. However, with countless products on the market, each boasting its own set of claims, it can be challenging to determine which disinfectants truly live up to their promises.

In an era where maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is more critical than ever, a groundbreaking study conducted by Nakata et al. shed light on a promising solution: automatic fogging disinfection units. The study, published in the Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine journal in 2001, evaluated the efficacy of these units in reducing bacterial contamination, with astounding results.
