🧼 Dry Misting / Fog Spraying for Childcare Centres
Eco-Mist Biotechnics® System | Safe, Powerful, sanitising method
AU$50.00
The Eco-Mist Biotechnics® Dry Misting system works by releasing a microscopic dry mist that sanitises both air and surfaces, eradicating up to 99.9999% of harmful microorganisms — safely and without residue.
Total coverage: Unlike manual cleaning, dry misting sanitises both the air and every exposed surface in the room. It’s especially effective in high-risk zones like sleep rooms, nappy change areas, and shared play spaces.
Clinically proven kill rate: The InfectionGard® solution achieves a log 6 kill rate — meaning it eliminates 99.9999% of bacteria, viruses, spores, moulds, and yeasts, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and coronaviruses
Safe for children and electronics: The mist is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and residue-free, making it safe for use around children, educators, animals, plants, and sensitive electronic equipment
Fast and efficient: A typical treatment takes just minutes, and rooms are ready to use immediately after application. There’s no need for rinsing or wiping down surfaces post-treatment.
Microscopic mist delivery: The system disperses a fine, dry mist of InfectionGard® biocide into the air. This mist is made up of microscopic particles that remain airborne long enough to reach all surfaces — including soft furnishings, toys, and hard-to-access areas like behind furniture or inside cupboards
This system is widely used in UK childcare centres and healthcare settings, but is still emerging in Australian early learning environments — making it a forward-thinking choice for centres committed to reducing illness and improving compliance under Area 2 of the NQF.
Frequency for Childcare Settings
To support compliance under Area 2 of the NQF, best practice recommends:
Monthly dry misting of:
Soft furnishings (e.g. cushions, curtains)
Upholstery (e.g. reading chairs, sleep mats)
Soft toys (e.g. plush animals, dolls)
Immediate misting as part of your illness response protocol — especially after confirmed cases of gastro, flu, or other contagious illnesses.
Dry misting is a cost-effective alternative to conventional sanitising — especially for soft surfaces and high-risk areas. While wiping down surfaces remains compulsory under both methods to meet compliance, dry misting reduces the time, labour, and disruption involved in reaching airborne pathogens and hard-to-clean areas. It complements manual cleaning by delivering broad-spectrum sanitisation in minutes, making it ideal for monthly soft surface treatment and illness response protocols.

✅ Advantages Over Traditional Manual Cleaning
Dry Misting (Eco-Mist System) | Traditional Manual Sanitising |
|---|---|
Reaches airborne pathogens and all exposed surfaces | Limited to surfaces touched by cloth |
No wiping or rinsing required | Labour-intensive and time-consuming |
Safe for children, pets, plants, and electronics | Risk of chemical residue or damage |
Log 6 kill rate (99.9999% efficacy) | Variable effectiveness depending on method |
Fast turnaround — rooms ready in minutes | Requires drying time and staff downtime |
Cost-effective — less labour, less disruption | Higher labour costs and time investment |
Dry misting is widely used in UK childcare centres and healthcare settings, but still emerging in Australian early learning. By adopting this method, your centre stays ahead of the curve — protecting children, supporting educators, and meeting compliance with confidence.

No dry misting is very budget friendly.
Why Dry Misting Is a Smarter, More Affordable Sanitising Option
Dry misting is a cost-effective alternative to conventional manual sanitising — especially for soft surfaces and high-risk areas in early learning environments. Unlike labour-intensive wipe-down methods, dry misting uses a fine, airborne mist to sanitise both air and surfaces in one efficient step, reducing time, labour, and disruption.
Dry Misting Service — Flexible Options & Affordable Rates
Dry misting can be booked as a standalone service for specific surfaces or rooms.
Average price per room: $60
Minimum charge: $200 (applies to one-off bookings)
Centres save more when dry misting is included in a fixed-price cleaning package. In this case, the service is billed at a per-hour rate, significantly lowering the overall cost — and the minimum charge does not apply.
This flexible pricing makes dry misting an affordable way to enhance your illness response protocol and meet compliance under Area 2 of the NQF.
