Thanks Anne
Youve offered great info.
looks like the sprayer won't be available til October.
just wondering- have you changed your screening process since you first opened? Seems like so much info is coming out - pros and cons regarding everything.
appreciate your experience and thanks so much for sharing!!

What do you mean you are using it invalid "fogger"? What is that exactly? I'm imagining you turning it on when you leave and it mists the classroom?

HI Laurie
We are using a disinfectant called Bioesque. (EPA register: 87742-1). I'm afraid I can't really tell you how cost effective it is - definitely more expensive than bleach (which we do use on our playgrounds) but it is the lowest toxicity level (IV); safe for food contact and does not require rinsing; has a low contact time (4 mins), has the "emerging viral pathogen claim" and is biodegradable. Our teachers use it in a spray bottle to clean classrooms and we also use it in a fogger at the end of the day - I'm waiting to get an electrostatic sprayer but for now using a regular hand held one. For me having something that has a low toxicity and does not require rinsing was important given that our children are young and everything needs to be disinfected.
I hope this is helpful

Appreciate everyone's feedback.
While I would love to use bleach- I know my teachers don't want to.
Does anyone have an all-purpose EPA approved cleaning product they can recommend?
