The Bathroom

Bathrooms are an ideal breeding ground for micro-organisms because they require a source of water, nutrients and warm temperatures to survive. In cold climates where bathrooms typically do not have windows and hot water is used, it is not uncommon to see the first signs of microbiological activity concentrated around tile grout and shower curtains. There are a variety of products on the market to remove the discoloration and unsightly stains caused by mold and mildew in bathrooms.

However, impregnating an antimicrobial directly into grout and shower curtains during manufacture would do a better job of inhibiting the growth of these micro-organisms. For the same reasons, bath mats now incorporate an antimicrobial both in their fibers and backing to prevent the growth micro-organisms. Vinyl flooring and paint are also being treated to prevent the fungal growth. Antimicrobials have also had an impact on personal hygiene. Nowadays, they are not only found in deodorant soaps and toothpaste but also in toothbrush handles and combs.

These are some of the reasons UltraTouch seats have Effective Ultra-Fresh Antimicrobial built right in.
