The Problem: Germs set-up camp in your house.
Germs, such as bacteria and mould, like to settle down and start a family in the same conditions we do - warm, cozy and not too dry.
They can last 24-48 hours on surfaces, during which time things like bacteria reproduce exponentially. One single cell can become more than 8 million cells in less than 24 hours.
How do they get into your home?
- Children bring germs home from school on their clothes, toys, school books, etc.
- Adults bring germs home from work, the gym and from day-to-day activities
- Pets traipse dirt and litter around the house, spreading germs
- Poor or irregular cleaning practices let germs run rampant
There are a million ways that germs can come into our homes. Although many of them are a necessary part of life, the few that are bad are really bad and can cause sickness, disease and in some cases, death.
The Solution: GERMGUARD
The GERMGUARD Treatment Program offers you the opportunity to treat high-touch surfaces with a world-class antimicrobial surface treatment called the ÆGIS Microbe Shield®.
Below are the top five areas in the home that you can treat to reduce germ populations.
| Area | Things to Treat |
|---|---|
| High-Touch | Doorknobs; handrails; light switches; phones |
| Kitchens | Taps; handles on fridge, microwave, oven and coffee pot; etc. |
| Bathrooms | Taps; shower; toilet seat/handle; towel rack |
| Carpets | Floor mats and carpeting |
| Fabric Surfaces | Couches; chairs; bed linens; sports equipment and clothing; etc. |
We can consult with you to decide which high-touch surfaces you wish to have treated.
Once we have determined the areas for treatment, we will thoroughly clean and treat all high-touch surfaces with the ÆGIS antimicrobial, giving you up to one year of protection from unwanted germs.
