The Problem: Germs are not team players.
Germs, such as bacteria and mould, like to settle down and start a family in the same conditions as we do- warm, cozy and not too dry. Your locker room and sports goods make perfect homes.
Germs 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 there?
- People bring bacteria from home, school, work, play etc., which thrive in a sweaty environment
- Sports equipment is a feeding ground for hungry germs looking to grow their families
- Janitorial staff unknowingly spread germs surface-to-surface on cloths and mops etc.
There are a million ways that germs can affect your team or sports facility. Although many microbes 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 that you can treat to reduce germ populations.
| Area | Things to treat |
|---|---|
| Locker & Weight rooms | Shower area; benches; chairs; lockers; equipment; doorknobs; etc. |
| Corporate boxes | Chairs; couches; tables; fridges; light switches; etc. |
| Textiles | Towels; mats; jerseys; etc. |
| Restaurants/Concession stands | Concession stand counters; debit machines; etc. |
| Washrooms | Toilets; taps; soap and paper towel dispensers; 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.
