Prevent infections from spreading and keep pathogens, microbes and viruses in control

Hygiene, cleanliness, and disinfection have become a serious consideration for many in recent times, due in part to the Coronavirus disease that has plagued the world. Individuals, families, and even institutions want to be sure that their environment and everything in it is safe to touch.

Roughly 80% of common infections like influenza or chickenpox are spread due to contaminated, unclean hands,^[1]  and many viral infections, such as the Rotavirus infection,^[2]  meningitis,^[3] hand-foot-and-mouth disease, and the recent COVID-19 virus can be prevented by simply washing your hands. In fact, studies show that hand washing can reduce diarrheal disease-associated deaths by up to 50%^[4] and respiratory infections by 16%.^[5]

However, it is also equally important to keep your surroundings clean. Pathogens, viruses, and bacteria can be on any surface, and even with frequent handwashing, if you do not take the extra step of disinfecting things and surfaces that you regularly touch, you still run the risk of getting infected with unwanted sicknesses, and infecting others, as well.

Fortunately, companies like Hygiene Science Inc. have been developing innovative products to help ward off germs, microbes and viruses, keeping surroundings not just clean, but also sterilized. Hygiene Pro is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial surface coating that is leach-resistant and produces an invisible, transparent and durable film that does not transfer even when in contact with water or solvents.

Thanks to Hygiene Pro’s Prolonged Germ Proofing Technology, it functions as a powerful disinfectant that has been proven effective against many viruses such as Enterobacter strains, Staphylococcus aureus, various Salmonella strains, and Influenza A. Surfaces that have been treated with Hygiene Pro become less prone to contamination from germs, fungi, algae, and molds. Hygiene Pro also inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mildew, and stays potent for up to 30 days.

Hygiene Pro is also safe for use with people, animals and plants. It has non-oxidative properties, making it safe to apply to a variety of surfaces and materials, such as carpets, upholstery, wood, plastics, porcelain and metals. It has been approved for use in commercial establishments, and even by homeowners in residential locations, by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
