Antimicrobial protection is a phrase that simply means a product will protect against various microbes such as bacteria, fungi and algae. Several microbes such as bacteria, mould, mildew and fungi attacks the surface and can result in odour development, staining and discolouration of surfaces.These microbial actions enormously increase the maintenance required to keep both the aesthetics and hygiene of the surface and the product. One household product that should contain this kind of protection is a carpet cleaning product. It isn’t enough just to remove the dirt and grit that gets embedded in carpets; we should always be seeking to remove the unseen enemies of microbes – the bacteria, mold and mildew that can form within a carpet.
