Flu / Cold-Season Office Sanitization for Permian Basin Businesses
Flu-season sanitization is the most cost-effective disinfection program for any commercial office. CDC data shows 21 million US workdays are lost annually to flu, costing employers $227/day per sick employee. Weekly or bi-weekly electrostatic disinfection from October through February cuts that exposure significantly.
Service overview
Everything you need to know about flu-season sanitization
The five questions every facility manager asks before signing a contract — answered in order.
What is flu-season sanitization
Recurring flu-season disinfection program — weekly or bi-weekly electrostatic application of EPA List N–verified influenza-rated disinfectant to high-touch surfaces and full-room coverage. October through February.
Why you need it
Flu and cold pathogens persist on surfaces 24–72 hours. Daily janitorial doesn't kill them at scale. Weekly electrostatic does — reducing transmission and sick-day spikes during peak season.
How we deliver it
Pre-season walkthrough in September → scope weekly or bi-weekly cadence → schedule for after-hours or weekend → electrostatic apply with EPA List N influenza-rated product → seasonal close in March.
How much it costs
Recurring flu-season programs run 20–30% below one-time electrostatic rates. Typical 5,000 sq ft office: $1,800–$3,000 for the full October–February season at weekly cadence.
What happens if you skip it
Skipping flu-season disinfection: visible sick-day spike October through February, employee complaints, productivity loss (CDC: $227/day per sick employee), and reputational damage if a major contagion event hits.
