- 26. FAQ s 1. What is Microban® protection? Microban® technology is built-in protection for solid products, coatings and fibers. Microban protection gives products an added level of protection against harmful microbes such as, bacteria, mould and mildew. 2. How do products with Microban® protection work? Microban® protection is built-in to the product during the manufacturing process. When microbes come in contact with the product surface, Microban protection penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism and disrupts cell functions making the microorganism unable to function, grow and reproduce. 3. What benefit do I get from products with Microban® protection? Microban® protection continuously fights the growth of harmful microbes that can cause stains, odors, product degradation and cross contamination. Microban protection makes the products in your home more hygienic, easier to clean and keeps them cleaner and fresher between cleanings. 4. What types of microorganisms does Microban® protection work against? Microban® protection is effective against most common bacteria, yeasts, moulds and fungi. 5. How do I know that Microban® protection is safe? Microban® technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. Microban additives are EU approved and can be found in the products of leading consumer, industrial and medical products manufacturers around the world.
- 27. …FAQs 6. Does this mean I don’t have to clean my products as much or as carefully? No. Microban® protection provides continuous protection that keeps products in your home cleaner between cleanings. However, normal cleaning practices recommended by the product manufacturer should be maintained. 7. Does Microban® protection begin working immediately? Microban® protection begins to work as soon as the microorganism comes into contact with the product surface.
