EXHIBIT 99.1

TOMI(TM) Environmental Solutions, Inc. Provides a Corporate Update

Recent Efforts Expand International Market Opportunities, Strengthen Manufacturing Capabilities and Solidify the Foundation on Which to Grow the Business

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI™ Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB:TOMZ) (TOMI), a global bacteria decontamination and infection prevention company, provided an update on recent corporate developments as well as commercialization efforts for its SteraMist™ Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) platform.

Dr. Halden Shane, TOMI's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are excited about the significant progress we are making in bringing our SteraMist™ product to market. We continue to expand our presence in international markets such as the Philippines, South Korea and Singapore. Now with our recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration in hand, SteraMist is well-suited to address the large-scale opportunities in the infection control market as it offers distinct advantages in speed and efficacy over the disinfection/decontamination competition. As each state has its own regulatory requirements, we are in the process of obtaining EPA registration in each state, which will enable us to begin the domestic commercialization of SteraMist. We remain committed to the following initiatives:

  • Expanding our TOMI Service Network (TSN™) to provide well-trained, licensed rapid responders who use the SteraMist product and BIT solution in markets around the world;
  • Continuing our product development efforts to leverage our BIT platform to provide innovative solutions for the disinfection and decontamination of indoor air and surfaces;
  • Ensuring we manage costs in balance with investing in the manufacturing, human assets and innovation efforts to support our growth; and
  • Furthering our EPA and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims to escalate the domestic commercialization of SteraMist™ while supporting the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in expanding its use of SteraMist as well as its research for use in food safety applications.
