Did you know that bad hygiene can cause even the stock market to fall. Fears about broadly rising coronavirus cases drove the Nasdaq and S&P 500 to their biggest drop in nearly two months, and sent benchmark yields to their largest decline in over 3 months as investors sought shelter from the uncertainty.

1750 – A letter from Lord Chesterfield to his son urges the use of a sponge and warm water to scrub the teeth each morning. The recommendation of using one’s own urine in France was widely flouted by Fouchard, the French dentist. Gunpowder and alum were also recommended.
1834 – The 1834 London Medical and Surgical Journal describes sharp stomach pains in patients with no evidence of disease. This led them to believe “painter’s colic” was a “nervous affection” of the intestines occurring when lead “is absorbed into the body”.
1847 – A physician called Ignaz Semmelwis found childbed fever occurred in women who were assisted by medical students. He found students who assisted in childbirth did so after autopsies. After instituting a strict hand washing policy, deaths dropped by 20 fold within 3 months.
1854 – In mid-18th century England, outbreaks of cholera led to an epidemic. A physician called John Snow observed that cholera seemed to spread via sewage-contaminated water. This was mostly noticed around a water pump in Broad Street, London. John removed the pump handle and the spread was instantly contained.
1858 – Hot weather struck the capital in 1858, drying up the River Thames and leaving pure sewage and other wasted piled up and exposed. This was the start of ‘The Great Stink’, forcing Parliament to close for the day and eventually initiating a reform of the sewerage systems and cesspits.
1861 – The modern flushing toilet. Thomas Crapper didn’t invent the flush toilet but is understood to have made major contributions towards its development by implanting a modern septic system that pumped soiled waters out of the city. However this particular subject is still heavily debated.
1920* – Lysol was sold as a genital disinfectant and birth control method. Lysol ads proclaimed a host of benefits for every gynecological need, and was the leading form of birth control from 1930 to 1960. Lysol is a poison that can cause burns and itches after the first drop.
*Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysol. “The first Lysol Brand Antiseptic Disinfectant was introduced in 1889 by Gustav Raupenstrauch to help end a cholera epidemic in Germany. The original formulation of Lysol contained cresols. This formulation may still be available commercially in some parts of the world. Formulations containing chlorophenol are still available in the United Kingdom.In 1911, poisoning by drinking Lysol was the most common means of suicide in Australia and New York. One of the active ingredients, benzalkonium chloride, is highly toxic to fish (LC50 = 280 μg ai/L), very highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates (LC50 = 5.9 μg ai/L), moderately toxic to birds (LD50 = 136 mg/kg-bw), and slightly toxic (“safe”) to mammals (LD50 = 430 mg/kg-bw)”.
1900’s – Autoclaves
SaniZap machines and high-temperature steam above its inversion temperature can be used for sterilization provided the correct residence time and temperature are employed.
What is sanitation, and disinfection, and how do they compare with sterilization?
This is similar to saying we should not wash our hands or we should reduce hygiene. We think the problem has more to do with the excessive use of toxic chemicals (yes, chemicals in concentrations are toxic). We do not recommend UV Ultra-Violet because the damage effects of UV on human tissues and cells are cumulative.
We recommend steam. Why Steam?
Can biofilms be eliminated with steam – a bit of antimicrobial trivia included?

The History of Hygiene and Sanitation
HealthySurface® is a service in which surfaces are restored to, and maintained at, an original condition utilizing treatment provided by the superheated steam process and apparatus of SaniZap®. HealthySurface® provides the removal of foreign substances from objects and surfaces to initial conditions including cleanliness, texture, or scent. Cleanliness, as used here, may be defined as the removal of any content not initially present on a surface. Mighty steam is low oxygen above common inversion temperatures. A treatment provided by HealthySurface® will remove or reduce microbes when employed properly . However, repeated applications or other sanitation processes could be necessary to maintain these conditions on a more permanent basis. How long a microbe can live on a surface often depends on the microbe. There is no hard-and-fast rule for how long a virus can survive outside of a host (some published information is given below – see also news). The type of surface and environmental temperature and humidity all come into play. Deep-cleaning with SaniZap® is recommended particularly for reaching vegetative bacteria.
Please read below for reported information on virus residence on surfaces. Please note that technical and microbiological information is constantly evolving. Bayzi Corporation will continue to add to news as more information becomes commonly available.
Where do viruses and other microbes hide on surfaces

We believe that there is no economic recovery without a method to safely and quickly reduce microbe concentrations and dangerous biofilms.
New** The SaniZap600-4 beat speed records for cleaning deep grime.
Are you using chemical cleaners but are worried about using them too often? Concerned about about the chemical residues, odors, fumes, dust, allergens and side effects? Worried about exposing your family and pets to the chemicals? Worried if they are effective?
Sterilization-level temperature and quality of steam is now possible for the first time with portable SaniZap® machines. No such products are presently available in the market. Hard-to-reach areas can now be easily and rapidly sanitized with openly directed steam.
Sanitize kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, doors, gyms, equipment, and many other areas and objects with two portable models. Use in schools, hospitals, restaurants and other high traffic areas. Reduce odors.
The SaniZap-Mini is a handheld model with a One Gallon water pack for two hours of sanitizing. Easy to carry, or attach to belt or back harness.
The SaniZap-1 is a handheld model allowing great flexibility for rapid sanitation. A 4 gallon backpack and accessories allow for 8 hours of steam sanitizing.
The Versatile SaniZap-600-4-240 is a higher power model on wheels. A workhorse. Great for cleaning companies, health and food companies, hospitals, nursing homes and other institutional use. Full automation, temperature selection and multi-mode cleaning.
Some years ago we had a water main pipe breakage at our company. The cleaning crew did a great job but we were never sure how clean the place was.
Being the experts we are with high temperature steam, we decided to pursue sterility level cleaning. The MightySteam® technology soon emerged as a new way to make instant steam that could eliminate any microbe within seconds.
Chemicals and UV present considerable dangers. These are well documented so can be easily searched on the web. The harm to humans is cumulative. Steam is the best solution as it is water based – so CLEAN by definition. However, it has to be the correct type of high temperature steam. This is the breakthrough technology that SaniZap® offers. The table below compares chemicals, low temperature carpet cleaning steam (vapor cleaners) and the SaniZap® antimicrobial steam.
In addition to antimicrobial use, SaniZap® can be used for several levels of cleaning like removal of old dust, dust mites, bird droppings, rust, paint, wall-paper, grease removal, eliminating black mold and more. We recommend the SaniZap-600-4-240 model for all of that. This model also allows a soap/cleaning agent and high temperature steam setting for rapid degreasing, floor cleaning and similar use. Clean Anything from Soft to Hard Surfaces.
Sanitation and cleaning in the food industry means adequate treatment of food contact surfaces to destroy vegetative cells of microorganisms. SaniZap® steam is the solution.
Superheated steam is a known anti-microbial agent and has been used for sterilizing for decades, but confined to autoclaves. Steam at the correct temperature and residence time is a rapid sanitizer. For the first time, the portable SaniZap® machines make even higher temperature steam than autoclaves possible, instantly. SaniZap® steam passes the important chemical indicator tests that autoclave have to (Class 4 and Class 6 indicators shown).
“Enveloped viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and HIV can be readily inactivated with heat. The Bayzi Corporation target for employing high temperatures that are capable of inactivating viruses within a few seconds with steam appears to me to be highly likely to succeed.” Albert B. Sabin Professor and Director, Infectious Diseases, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
Bayzi has created a Science and Engineering team with experts from from Universities, Hospitals and EPA.

“I have bought and used many steam cleaners. This is the only one I have real confidence in for cleaning bacteria.” -First impressions from a restaurant owner (formerly a nurse) who used the SaniZap prototype to deep-clean during the Coronavirus shut-down.
“I cannot give a more resounding thumbs-up for cleaning dust with antimicrobial steam. Our factory over the years had accumulated a lot of dust – and lots of dust mites. With the SaniZap 600-4-240 I was able to have all places easily dusted within a few hours. No sneezing, so I imagine it must have killed all the dust mites. I feel it is the best antimicrobial technique. All factories, laboratories and warehouses will benefit. We will be using it for years. Congratulations.”
