What is a Germbuster?

The Germbuster electrostatic sprayer utilizes ionized sanitizer to kill mold and germs on foodservice surfaces, ensuring your guests and workers are safe. Specialized sanitizers are pumped over an electrode in the sprayer, which causes them to atomize with a positive charge. This charge then causes the particles of sanitizer to be attracted to the surfaces around them. The particles adhere to the surfaces and naturally spread out, providing complete coverage without overlap. The Germbuster can be used on food prep and food serving surfaces, and is safe around food and people, unlike traditional sanitizers.
