For context, that’s 400 times more germs than the amount found on a standard toilet seat. As bad as your workspace may be, your home may be worse. The trick is finding a product that works with any surface and space. And the goal is to find something that doesn’t just kill but that protects and prevents. With long lasting protection you don’t have to think about germs taking over your home or office, and you don’t have to spend all your time cleaning everything you and your family touches, every minute of the day!
Antibacterial or
Antimicrobial
The question is, how do we reduce our risk of sickness and infection when we live among bacteria and germs? We see so many products and advertisements for new cleaners and better antibacterial and antimicrobial products, it's hard to know what to use. Antibacterial products will only kill bacteria, so this term specifically applies to a cleaning product that only kills bacteria..Antimicrobial is a descriptive term that applies to cleaners that kill or inhibit viruses and mold, in addition to bacteria.
