You have all been hearing “contains Microban”; however, what exactly is Microban and how does it work? Microban antimicrobial products contain a built-in active ingredient that enables products to resist the growth of microbes such as bacteria, mold, and mildew. This inhibits microbial survival, reproduction, and colonization. Microban protection remains inert until it encounters an environment where microbes can proliferate. Only then will it release tiny quantities of antimicrobial technology to disrupt vital cell functions of the microbe. Sound complicated? Not really. By using a microban product, you are adding a layer of protection after you clean. Wait! What? Did you just say after you clean? Yes, I did!! Microban fights the growth of odor and stains causing bacteria, mold, and mildew to grow. Also, microban protection makes products easier to clean, helps them last longer and keeps them fresher between cleanings. Microban protection begins to work as soon as a microorganism encounters a treated surface. Microban products are safe due to the extensive work of independent laboratory testing. It has been incorporated into more than 1,000 products worldwide and trusted by 250 global brands and manufacturers. It is registered with the US EPA. Warning – make sure the products that claim to contain microban have the registered logo:
Adding microban products to your cleaning regiment is just a small part of how you need to re-evaluate how you disinfect and clean your spaces. Businesses small and large need to make a plan with their cleaning staff, whether in-house or contracted.
Through our vendor Buckeye products, here at Marco Office Supply, we have a training program for schools and universities, long term care facilities, community centers, prisons, hospitals, retail stores and corporate buildings.
