Where Are They Used?

You may not be able to see them, but microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi are everywhere! That’s why antimicrobials are used in so many places.

Think of antimicrobials as tiny superheroes, helping to kill or prevent the growth of microbes, keeping you and your family safe. These knights in shining armor help clean and disinfect our homes, medical facilities and public spaces because harmful microbes can grow and thrive in almost any setting.

Household Products

Did you know cold season needs good chemistry? It’s true. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a thorough cleaning and disinfection of sinks, toilets, doorknobs, and other hard surfaces that people frequently touch is the first and most important step in preventing the spread of disease. For this reason, you will find antimicrobials products in homes, workplaces and schools.

Public Spaces

Anywhere there are a lot of people, there are a lot of germs. To reduce the transmission of disease-causing viruses and bacteria in spaces with masses of people, antimicrobial disinfectants and sanitizers are used to kill the harmful bacteria and viruses.
