How Antimicrobial Solutions Work to Kill Bacteria and Viruses

Written by Tom Hallissey | Apr 21, 2020 5:00:00 PM

When it comes to killing bacteria and viruses, Antimicrobial Protection is one of the most effective disinfecting services available today. Sprayed uniformly across surfaces, antimicrobial solutions have unique powers that are unlike those of traditional antibacterial products.

Everything you need to Know about Antimicrobial Solutions

You are probably very familiar with the term “antibacterial,” but it is likely that “antimicrobial” is a newer word to your vocabulary.

 “Antimicrobial solutions” help destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms and especially the kind of harmful bacterium, virus, and microorganisms that cause disease. 

Today,  Antimicrobial solutions are designed to work for up to 90 days,  providing Prolonged Antimicrobial Protection. It is a highly effective virus disinfectant that has long-lasting powers.

3 Reasons to Go Antimicrobial

  1. Thoroughly disinfects surfaces
  2. Long-lasting residual protection
  3. Inhibits bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew from reappearing

Antimicrobial Solutions vs. Antibacterial Products

They may sound similar, but antimicrobial agents and antibacterial products are very different from one another.

  • Antibacterial agents are commonly found in household cleansers and other conventional disinfecting products, like the soap you wash your hands with.
  • Antimicrobial solutions, which contain a more powerful disinfecting agent, are quickly gaining widespread use in commercial buildings.

Although these two types of protectants both kill germs, antimicrobial agents are a short-term and a long-term solution all in one. Now that people are working more from home, antimicrobial products are also being used in residential cleaning environments.

Antimicrobial products completely eradicate bacteria and viruses 10 minutes after being applied to a surface, and the new antimicrobial protection products provide prolonged protection because they form a protective layer on surfaces, preventing the reintroduction of new bacteria and viruses for up to 90 days.

Sprayed thoroughly on exposed surfaces, antimicrobial agents form an invisible coating that does not wash away like ordinary antibacterial products.

Instead of disinfecting the same surfaces over and over again, you can feel confident in the peace of mind of having virus protection that lasts up to 3 months.
