Electrostatic Sprayers: Facts & Best Options for 2026

What is an Electrostatic Disinfectant Sprayer?

By now, most people have heard of electrostatic sprayers for disinfecting purposes, as they've become part of the Coronavirus pandemic response. In fact, this technology has been around for decades, and despite its recent popularity for disinfecting larger industrial spaces (air travel, nursing homes, and hospitals, fitness facilities), it's equally useful in homes, on indoor turf, in classrooms, and in virtually any highly trafficked area.

How do electrostatic sprayers work?

Electrostatic sprayers charge the disinfectant solution’s particles, driving the disinfectant directly to surfaces. The positively charged particles repel each other, spreading evenly across the sprayed surface. These charged droplets then wrap around curves and reach hard-to-clean corners and crevices.

Why is electrostatic spraying so popular?

Here are three key reasons electrostatic sprayers are widely used:

1. They are touch-free and provide 360° surface coverage.
2. They disinfect up to three times faster than traditional methods.
3. They are cordless, making them convenient and easy to maneuver.
