Why We Use Electrostatic Sprayers For Efficient School Disinfection

Throughout your school, hundreds of surfaces could be covered with pathogens that cause and spread illness. It’s difficult to get to these surfaces to disinfect them. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Traditional disinfecting methods offer only limited coverage. To reduce the cause of illness at its source, we use a revolutionary way to reach and kill pathogens almost everywhere.

The electrostatic sprayer system turns the liquid into small droplets. Then the sprayer applies a charge to each drop so they are attracted to and adhere to surfaces with a force greater than gravity. The coverage is superior. It spreads over, under and around surfaces.

Our electrostatic system saves you time, money and labor. We can cover up to 300 square feet in just 60 seconds. In an hour, up to 18,000 square feet, compared to only 3,900 square feet with a trigger sprayer.

ASCAP AWARD WINNING Recording Artist/Singer/Songwriter/Keyboardist TONY CARLUCCI releases Presidential Song

TONY CARLUCCI has released a Presidential Campaign Song called: VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Tony feels that Donald Trump can help “Make America Great Again”. Tony’s song is an energetic pop/rock tune that stays focused on a positive, fun and upbeat vibe while still getting the message out to all.

As the race between Trump and Biden hots up in the final week, Tony Carlucci wasn't shy in voicing his opinion. The song gives a rather friendly and positive message in uncertain times.

As election season roars along, Tony Carlucci emerges with a high-energy campaign-trail bop, bright, upbeat, and full of gusto, suave, showy, and loaded with sensational synth, classic Rock'n'Roll riffs, and fun cameos of definitive patriotic staples. VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is a political Pop-Rocker unlike anything you've heard this year, one part Chuck Berry-esque melody and drive, one part larger than life showmanship, and all passion-powered political enthusiasm ready to cheer on the right!

VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is driving and uptempo, keeping energy high throughout with quick confident instrumentals and smooth, jazzy vocals that pack tons of swagger. Carlucci's lyrics are simple, straightforward, and stay focused on the track's electoral goal, while providing a variety of points and perspectives in support of D. Trump, giving audiences a more in depth look at our current president than some of the piece's other political song/jingle peers. The presidential highlights mentioned stay positive and accessible, reminding listeners of all the character traits they could continue to have in the Oval Office without losing attention or becoming too bogged down with the nitty gritty of policy specifics, while the song's instrumental bed provides plenty of dazzling sonic spectacle from stirring patriotic melodies including America The Beautiful and God Bless America, to bluesy guitar soloing that helps color in this carefree track. Complete with a cleverly simulated grandstanding megaphone segment, VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN proves itself again and again as a lively, nimble song grounded firmly by Carlucci's patriotism, ardor, and hopes for his country.

This song is full of fun, excitement, and genuine enthusiasm for anyone along for the ride. With its unapologetic full-steam delivery and grandiose vision, it's a solid track with nice structure and great commitment.
Target Audience Appeal:

Tony Carlucci has a loaded song that speaks to this exact moment in history and is ready to be used now! A great choice for a one-off single that could generate buzz without having to rely on a whole album release, a music/lyric video could also go a long way in helping VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN garner a larger following online.

Tony Carlucci is a colorful recording artist with a wide variety of musical styles ranging from Sinatra to Electronic Dance Music. Tony’s ability to perform all genres is totally amazing. Whether Tony is belting out a Sinatra tune, hammering out a Rock & Roll song, or performing a pulsating original Electronic Dance Track, Tony’s music is always tasty and enjoyable.
