Surface bacteria — quantified
Find out where harmful bacteria are surviving in your environment.
Bacterial pathogens are commonly found on sinks, draining boards, food preparation surfaces, wet cloths, sponges and cleaning utensils — and survive on dry surfaces such as door handles and furnishings.
Our Bacteria Test Kit allows homeowners and building managers to identify these pathogen sources, prevent infections and verify that cleaning regimes are actually effective.
