There's all sorts of buzz about a new category of office supplies - antimicrobial products. What exactly is a microbe? Well, a microbe can be either a virus, bacteria, fungi, algae, archae or protozoa. These tiny little beings occupy space on practically every surface of the planet - including you! In fact, there are more microbes on and in the human body than there are cells! So, does that make us human - or just really big bugs?

Some microbes are beneficial - for example the microbes inside your gut aid in digestion. Other microbes are pathogens, and can cause discomfort, illness or even death.

If you work in an environment where you might encounter some pathogenic microbes (a doctor's office, a hospital, a lab, or if you regularly take your work into the bathroom -eew!), you should consider adding a few antimicrobial items to your list.

From antimicrobial binders which prevent growth of bacteria, mold and fungus to filing supplies, writing instruments and cleaning and disinfectant products - medicalsupplies.indoff.com has all the items you need to keep your workplace safe.

"SCRUBS" Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer Wipes are a good, easy to use product to demonstrate just how effective antimicrobial products truly are.  Scrubs are especially useful in situations where soap and water are not easily accessible and are a great replacement for alcohol gel cleaners, which do not remove contaminants. 

 

Now to "show you the money", as it were....

Scrubs Rapidly Kills in Seconds:

• Candida Albicans:  (10 seconds)
• Escherichia Coli:  (20 seconds)
• Pseudomonas Aeruginosa:  (10 seconds)
• Salmonella Choleraesuis:  (10 seconds)
• Staphylococcus Aureus:  (10 seconds)
• Streptococcus Pyogenes:  (10 seconds)
  

 SCRUBS also remove Bio-film (and if you're in medical field, I won't have to explain that one to you!)

There are many times to wash your hands.  The list of obvious ones I won't bore you with.  But do you ever think about taking 30 seconds to use an antimicrobial towelette after checking through the mail?  Who knows how many hands have touched it and what germs have collected on it!
