The disinfecting spray module includes a storage container for receiving a disinfectant or cleaner. An electric pump withdraws the disinfectant and supplies the pump through a spray hose. The spray hose includes a handle having a nozzle to direct the disinfectant onto the surface to be cleaned. The disinfecting spray module can include an internal power supply or be connected to a source of electricity within the room being disinfected.

Abstract: A cart sanitizing system is disclosed for applying a sanitizing fluid to sanitize a shopping cart. A pressurized supply of sanitizing fluid is applied to the cart contained within a cart enclosure through a series of spray nozzles mounted along a spray arch. The pressurized sanitizing fluid is supplied to the spray arch from a pressure tank, which is fed with the supply of sanitizing fluid from a chemical make-down system. The chemical make-down system creates the sanitizing fluid, which preferably includes a sanitizing agent and a surfactant mixed within fresh water. The sanitizing fluid is created by a mixing device by flowing the fresh water over inlet tubes for both the sanitizing agent and the surfactant. The mixture of the surfactant and sanitizing agent allows the sanitizing fluid to be applied to the shopping carts and eliminates the requirement for drying.
