The room sanitization system is comprised of a plurality of sprinkler heads that may be controlled by a main hub that supplies each sprinkler head with the sanitizing disinfectant that is sprayed out of each head in a radial fashion. In addition, the main hub controls the frequency, intensity and duration of each sprinkler head during the disinfection process. Alternatively, the operation of the system may be controlled remotely via an electronic device. Each sprinkler head retracts within the surface in which it is installed, therefore remaining out of sight when not in use. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A room sanitization system comprising: a main hub; a plurality of sprinkler heads; and a supply of sanitizing or disinfecting solution in fluid communication with each of the plurality of sprinkler heads; and wherein deployment, retraction, and rotation of each sprinkler head is powered by a compressor; and wherein each sprinkler head comprises a concealing veneer surface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The room sanitization system of claim 1 further comprising a power source, a set of user controls, and a length of piping connecting the supply of sanitizing or disinfecting solution with each of the plurality of sprinkler heads. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The room sanitization system of claim 2 further comprising at least one sensor, a wireless communication module, and a remote electronic device in communication with the wireless communication module. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The room sanitization system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads is retracted into a ceiling or a wall when in a stowed position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The room sanitization system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads extend outwardly from a ceiling or a wall when in a deployed position. ### Claim 6 A room sanitization system comprising: a main hub comprised of a control panel, a power supply, a propellant and a container; a plurality of sprinkler heads; a network of pipes forming a watertight connection between the container and each of the plurality of sprinkler heads; and a supply of sanitizing or disinfecting solution stored in the container; and wherein the control panel comprises a touch-screen display comprising a spray intensity control button, a spray duration button, and a spray frequency button; and wherein the main hub further comprises a hinged cover configured to shield the touch-screen display, the hinged cover comprising an outer surface comprising a concealing veneer surface; and wherein deployment, retraction, and rotation of each sprinkler head is powered by a sprinkler motor. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The room sanitization system of claim 6 further comprising at least one sensor positioned in a room, a wireless communication module, and a software application installed on a remote electronic device that is in communication with the wireless communication module, wherein the at least one sensor will prevent operation of the room sanitization system if a motion is detected in the room. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The room sanitization system of claim 7, wherein a user can use the remote electronic device to remotely control the room sanitization system. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The room sanitization system of claim 8, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads is both rotatable and repositionable between a deployed position and a stowed position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The room sanitization system of claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads are retracted into a ceiling or a wall in the room when in the stowed position. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The room sanitization system of claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads extend outwardly from a ceiling or a wall in the room when in the deployed position. ### Claim 12 A room sanitization system comprising: a plurality of sprinkler heads each comprised of a body, a shaft, and a head that are housed in a recessed housing in a wall, a floor or a ceiling; a main hub; and an aerosol container containing an aerosol disinfectant and an integrated air compressor, wherein the aerosol container is in communication with each of the plurality of sprinkler heads; and a touch-screen display comprising a spray intensity control button, a spray duration button, and a spray frequency button; and wherein each sprinkler head further comprises a concealing veneer surface; and wherein deployment, retraction, and rotation of each sprinkler head is powered by the integrated air compressor. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The room sanitization system of claim 12 further comprising at least one sensor and a wireless communication module. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The room sanitization system of claim 13, wherein the at least one sensor is a motion sensor. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The room sanitization system of claim 14 further comprising a remote electronic device with a software application installed thereon that is in communication with the wireless communication module. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The room sanitization system of claim 15, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads is both rotatable and repositionable between a deployed position and a stowed position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The room sanitization system of claim 16, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads is retracted into the recessed housing when in the stowed position. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The room sanitization system of claim 16, wherein each of the plurality of sprinkler heads extend outwardly from the ceiling, the floor or the wall when in the deployed position.
