New Partnership: Clear Air Dynamics, LLC!

The Kansas Head Start Association (KHSA) is grateful for the support of our Corporate Partners! We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Clean Air Dynamics, LLC. The company, led by Raleigh Guice, President, provides access and consultation regarding indoor air disinfection and high-touch surface disinfection equipment.   

Clean Air Dynamics, LLC, has a long-standing history of providing medical grade air disinfection equipment to Head Start facilities across the country.  The current air disinfection product portfolio features filter-less air disinfection equipment manufactured by WellAir. These devices cover up to 1000 square feet, are typically wall-mounted and do not require the ongoing expense of filters, bulbs or other associated PPE, installation, or disposal costs. These products inactivate airborne pathogens including viruses, bacteria, mold spores and VOCs in sub-second times with NanoStrike Technology™ and are 3rd party tested. 

Clean Air Dynamics and the KHSA agree that indoor air quality is important for Head Start children and staff. Kansas Head Start programs interested in learning more can contact them by email or by visiting their website.  

Clean Air Dynamics, LLC, is a minority owned business, registered with SAM.GOV.
