SERVICEMASTER LAUNCHES NEW ANTI-MICROBIAL
SERVICE
Single Application Kills Bacteria For Up To 90
Days
ServiceMaster Brands, a leading provider of essential cleaning
and disinfecting services to homes and businesses, has entered into
an exclusive agreement with Goldshield Technologies, maker of
proprietary antiseptic and anti-microbial products that actively
kill microorganisms on surfaces for up to 90 days. This new service
offering is the next generation of infection prevention and will be
available to all 1,200 ServiceMaster Restore and ServiceMaster
Clean franchises nationwide.
Goldshield products are EPA approved for a wide variety of
applications, including hospitals, daycares, schools, senior living
facilities, gyms, salons and restaurants. This new step in
ServiceMaster’s protocols takes infection prevention beyond
disinfection; the new anti-microbial protection will help keep
facilities free from dangerous microbes for weeks.
“With the addition of Goldshield products, ServiceMaster
introduces an important advancement in the fight against bacteria
and infectious diseases,” explained Peter Duncanson, Director of
Commercial Operations for ServiceMaster Restore. “Breaking the
chain of infection can be difficult. Cleaning and disinfecting
surfaces kills bacteria and helps prevent disease, but surfaces can
be re-infected soon after cleaning. This new technology complements
ServiceMaster disinfecting and sanitizing processes, providing a
barrier that continuously safeguards against dangerous microbes on
surfaces. It’s an important development in infection prevention
that creates a safer, healthier environment for a relatively long
period of time.”
The killing action of the new anti-microbial technology is
different than traditional disinfectants. Most disinfectants
encapsulate microorganisms, releasing bacteria-killing chemicals
into the cells. Goldshield has a long carbon chain, like a bed of
nails, that releases an ionic charge that destroys the cell
structure, while its chemistry denatures proteins, killing the
organism on contact.
Goldshield can be applied by commercial pressure sprayer or
pump-sprayer to most surfaces including countertops, fabrics and
carpet. It forms a strong chemical bond that will not leach off,
and it remains on the surface even through subsequent cleanings.
The water-based formulation poses no respiratory or contact
risk.
Goldshield products have been the subject of more than 40
evidence-based studies conducted by independent laboratories,
including three peer-reviewed studies in the American Journal of
Infection Control. In a 2017 article in AJIC, it stated, “Sustained
reductions of bioburden with the monthly application of
(Goldshield) may be associated with significant reductions in the
risk of healthcare associated infections.”1. It has been proven to
kill 99.9%-99.99% of disease-causing organisms.
“We expect this service to be very appealing for any facility
that has high human traffic,” said Duncanson. “Frequent cleaning
and disinfecting are extremely important, but it’s unrealistic to
clean constantly. A ServiceMaster cleaning system that includes a
long-acting anti-microbial treatment provides a significantly
higher level of infection prevention for everyone who enters the
facility, even between cleanings.”
