Germinator Services Come to Durham, NC

Durham, NC – (04/07/2020 7:00 AM EST) – Germinator has recently begun expanding its services to many locations throughout the U.S. One of the most recent opened locations is in Durham, NC, where the company has begun to offer its commercial and residential services. Amid the current pandemic, this is exciting news for the residents of Durham.


Hunter Credle, the owner of Germinator Durham, said, "We are happy to be able to provide Durham residents and business owners with a service that will make a difference in their lives. Now more than ever, we need to be aware of the disinfection and sanitization of our surroundings. We hope to be able to give our clients greater peace of mind."

Hunter, a schoolteacher who is currently inactive due to the coronavirus pandemic, decided to open a Germinator franchise in Durham to cope with the current crisis. "It started out of necessity and has quickly become a family business. My daughters are out of school right now, and I'm training them to do remediations," says Hunter. "We've been going out as a team and helping the Durham area stay sanitized while bonding as a family with our new business venture."

Germinator's methodology is the most unique and cost-effective means of providing enhanced antimicrobial protection for businesses and residences. The company first tests surfaces for ATP using a luminometer to detect light that can come from cellular activity. This measurement immediately provides the level of clean on a surface.

The next step is the application of Germinator's Genesis surface treatment. Genesis is a one-step cleaner and broad-spectrum sanitizer and disinfectant treatment that harnesses the power of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Derived from naturally occurring minerals, Genesis not only eliminates odors at their source but kills a wide range of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Salmonella enterica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and viruses including norovirus, rotavirus and adenovirus on hard, non-porous, environmental surfaces. It meets the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) germicidal spray standards for Hospital Grade Disinfection and is on the EPA's N List of products determined to meet the criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. As a result, this treatment will eliminate bacteria and viruses that may reside in your environment without the use of harsh chemicals or fumes.

Following Genesis, Germinator applies its Shield, a water-based quaternary ammonium compound that imparts a durable bacteriostatic finish. It is EPA-registered as effective against mold, mildew, algae and odor-causing bacteria. This application creates an invisible barrier that helps combat deterioration and discoloration and promotes freshness for up to three months.

The Genesis and Shield products are applied by using an electrostatic sprayer, which is the most efficient and effective means of delivering the products to the intended application sites. After Germinator's surface treatment and protectant services, the company retests ATP levels to ensure the surfaces have achieved the intended results.
