No matter how much we clean, sanitize or disinfect surfaces... surface-contact germs keep coming back. In fact, unless thoroughly flushed from the surface, most cleaners and sanitizers leave residues that actually promote build-up and allow bacteria, virus, mold & mildew to grow.
Perhaps nowhere is re-soiling and re-contamination more pervasive than in schools and day-care centers, where widespread cross-contamination from hand-to-surface, surface-to-hand and hand-to-surface contact continues unchecked.
Sani-Shield®, Sani-Scrub® and Stainless Shine® 3-in-1 Surface Care technologies that thoroughly clean surfaces of spills & splatters, dirt and grime that you can see... and simultaneously protect the cleaned surfaces with invisible, long-lasting water, soil and stain repellent "organic" barrier coatings on which bacteria, mold & mildew will not grow in-between cleaning... and much like non-stick cookware, dramatically reduce the adhesion and build-up of organic and inorganic soil for easier next-time cleaning.
These unique multi-surface, multi-functional "spray & wipe" or "massage & flush" surface care products are non-toxic and ready-to-use. They are free of VOC solvents, harsh acids or alkalis, phosphates, ammonia, glycol ethers, terpenes, hydrocarbon propellants, CFCs and chlorine bleach. Importantly, the protective barriers are automatically rejuvenated every time the products are used to clean.

Handwashing: A Critical Issue
Statistics: School days missed
Every year, more than 164 million school days are lost due to illness. It is believed that a great number of these days could be reduced if children merely washed their hands properly and regularly. *Source: "Vital Health and Statistics, Current Estimates from the National Health Interview Survey, 1995" (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Health Statistics, 1998).
According to the CDC, the single most important thing we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading illness to others is to clean our hands;
Nearly 22 million school days are lost due to the common cold alone. Some viruses and bacteria can live from 20 minutes up to 2 hours or more on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks (CDC);
52.2 million cases of the common cold affect Americans under the age of 17 each year. (CDC, 1996);
Students don't wash their hands often or well enough. In one study, only 58% of female and 48% of male middle and high school students washed their hands after using the bathroom. (American Journal of Infection Control, 1997);
A study of Detroit school children showed that scheduled hand washing, at least four times a day, can reduce gastrointestinal illness and related absences by more than 50%. (Family Medicine, 1997).
