    • Microban is suitable and approved for use within residential, commercial, industrial and institutional properties.
  • Microban Disinfectant Spray Stops Odors in Two Ways
    • Mildew, sickroom, nursery and even some pet related odors are caused by bacteria.
    • Microban kills the organisms which cause these odors.
    • Not all odors are caused by bacteria. Microban contains an exclusive odor counteractant which is effective on food and other non-bacterially related odors.
  • Why Microban is an Important Part of a Mold Remediation Protocol and Germ Prevention
    • While cleaning removes visible contamination, significant quantities of microorganisms are often left behind. An application of Microban during cleaning destroys many of these microorganisms, thus preventing them from multiplying.
    • The Microban formulation contains high levels of active ingredients, that destroy microorganisms upon application and then provide residual protection against odor causing microorganisms.
