Hydro-Mist Sanitizing System

December 20, 2020

Now more than ever, it's vital that your office is not only clean, but treated with disinfectant to help stop the spread of germs and viruses.

After what has felt like an eternity, we are finally returning back to work.  Businesses are opening, stores are opening to the public, restaurants are allowing patrons to dine-in, and we are trying to return to normal life.  Although, if you have been to any of the recently opened businesses or restaurants, then you realize right away that things are anything but normal.  With social distancing measures in place, normally mundane and uneventful outings seem surreal, like we are living in an alternate dimension where personal contact is prohibited.  Along with all of the unusual social distancing practices, there are also very stringent cleaning and sanitizing requirements now in place at most establishments.  Although some of the new cleaning and sanitizing takes place during business hours, the bulk of the new procedures are administered after hours as entire facilities are disinfected by professional cleaning crews.  At C&C Janitorial, this is where we have seen the biggest shift in service requests from our commercial cleaning clients.  Although sanitizing has been a regular part of our janitorial routine for more than 20 years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the requests we receive for this specific service. 


When it comes to sanitizing, there are many options available to get the job done.  The most common forms of sanitizing used in every facility under the sun are individual wipes and hand sanitizer.  These are very effective and great for specific uses.  But what do you do when you need to sanitize an entire room?  Or several offices within a facility?  Or an entire building for that matter?  You would go broke trying to buy enough wipes to disinfect an entire office building… that is if you could even find the wipes to purchase!  That’s where our sanitizing services become extremely valuable.  We use a sanitizing system known as Hydro-Mist, which emits a light fog from a commercial sprayer that is capable of disinfecting every surface in an entire room within minutes.  This is the exact same type of system used for decades by commercial airlines to disinfect airplanes after each flight.  By restaurants to disinfect dining areas overnight.  By hotels to disinfect entire rooms between guests.  The Hydro-Mist system is an EPA certified sanitizing system that is completely safe and effective for disinfecting large areas.


If you are faced with the challenge of disinfecting a large office or building, then you should contact us today to schedule a free quote.  This system is ideal for medical offices, day-care facilities, gyms, churches, and any other large space that needs thorough disinfecting. 


If you are interested in scheduling a free estimate and evaluation of your facility, contact C&C Janitorial today.  Call us at 706-742-7055 or visit our sanitizing services page for more information.




Here are some frequently asked questions pertaining to our Hydro-Mist system:



How long do we need to wait after disinfectant is complete?

The Hydro-Mist system emits a gentle fog into the air that slowly settles onto all surfaces.  The active agents in this fog kill germs, bacteria, and viruses once they come in contact.  According to manufacturer guidelines, it is safe to return to the affected area after 45 minutes to 1 hour.

What kind of Chemical  do you use?

We use an EPA certified Sanitizer/Virucide.  It is safe to resume normal activity in the treated space just 1 hour after treatment.  The Hydro-Mist system leaves behind no residue on surfaces.

What’s the sanitizing process?

We use a Hydro-Spray system to apply the sanitizing treatment.  This typically takes place overnight and involves the use of a commercial sprayer to apply the disinfecting treatment.  As the fog settles onto surfaces it disinfects and leaves behind no residue.

Is this harmful?

No.  This Sanitizing chemical has been thoroughly evaluated by the EPA and certified as safe for the environment, pets, and even infants.

How often should this be done?

There are very specific guidelines recommended by the manufacturer.  This is determined by the size of the space being treated and the volume of traffic passing through the space on a daily basis.  The only way to determine a recommended treatment plan is by evaluation of a trained professional.  To determine the optimal treatment schedule for your office, call C&C Janitorial and schedule a free evaluation.

Your Waiting Room Is Talking About You. It Is Not Being Kind.

August 27, 2026
I want to tell you something important about your Athens, GA medical practice, and I want you to sit down first, unless you are already sitting down, in which case, good, because that is exactly the kind of alert, prepared thinking that will serve you well here. Your patients are judging your armrests. I know. You went to medical school, or dental school, or you run an outpatient clinic where actual healing happens, and you assumed your patients were sitting in your waiting room thinking deep thoughts about their health. They are not. They are running a forensic investigation on your reception desk, and if they find so much as one (1) suspicious dust bunny lurking near the Highlights for Children magazine from what appears to be the Clinton administration, their confidence in your entire medical operation drops by what researchers — meaning me, just now — estimate to be 43 percent. I am not a scientist. But I am fairly confident in the 43 percent, because I made it up with real conviction. Here is the premise, and I am going to press on it hard: patients cannot see your clinical excellence, so they grade you on your baseboards. They don't know if you're a brilliant diagnostician. They do know if the exam room smells like it's been marinating since the Obama years. To them, a dusty vent is basically a diagnosis. Beat one. A patient walks into a waiting area with wiped-down seating, organized magazines, and floors you could perform minor surgery on. Reaction: mild, unconscious relief. Blood pressure cuff hasn't even come out yet and they're already 12 percent calmer. Beat two. A patient walks into a waiting area with a coffee ring on the end table that has achieved permanent geological status. Reaction: quiet panic. If they can't keep the lobby clean, the patient reasons, what ELSE aren't they keeping clean? Is that a used cotton swab or a very small, very disturbing sculpture? Beat three — and this is where it gets unhinged — the patient now assumes your surgical instruments are sterilized using the same standards as your carpet, which is to say, vibes only. This is not fair to you. It is also, according to actual human behavior, exactly what happens in the brain of every person clutching a clipboard in your lobby.

Don’t Replace, Restore: A Practical Guide to Making Your Floors Last Longer

April 3, 2026
If there’s one thing that gets ignored until it’s a total disaster, it’s the office floor. We walk on it every day, move chairs over it, and track in whatever is on our shoes, rarely giving it a second thought until one day you realize the carpet is permanently matted or the hard floors have lost their shine and look… well, sad. Replacing commercial flooring is a massive, expensive project that usually requires shutting down parts of your office. The good news? You can often avoid that headache entirely with a little bit of strategy. Here is how you can stop looking at your floors as a recurring expense and start treating them like the long-term asset they are.

Is Your Office Secretly Sabotaging Your Team? The Real ROI of a Clean Workplace

March 31, 2026
Let’s be honest: when you’re busy running a business, "office cleaning" usually falls to the bottom of the priority list. It’s easy to think of it as just another line item on the monthly budget—something that just needs to be "good enough" so people don’t complain. But what if I told you that your office environment is either quietly fueling your team's productivity or acting as a constant, hidden drag on it? Most of us don’t realize how much our physical space dictates our mental state. If you’ve ever felt stressed just looking at a pile of clutter or a layer of dust, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Here’s why bringing in professional help isn't just about appearances—it’s a smart business move. 

Is Your Office Really Clean? Essential Facts About Commercial Cleaning Services

October 8, 2025
Let's be honest: that mysterious stain in the break room didn't clean itself, and neither did the keyboard that's hosting more bacteria than a petri dish. Your office might look clean at first glance, but "looks clean" and "is actually clean" are two very different things.  Enter commercial office cleaning services—the unsung heroes keeping workplaces from turning into glorified germ incubators. And no, we're not being dramatic. (Okay, maybe a little.) A Clean Office Is a Healthy Office Here's a fun fact that's not actually fun: the average office desk harbors 400 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. Still eating lunch at your desk? Studies consistently show that professional cleaning leads to fewer sick days and sharper employee focus. When your team isn't passing around the latest cold like it's a hot gossip item, productivity naturally improves. Plus, there's something about walking into a genuinely clean space that just makes people feel better—mentally and physically.
