Crypton® Disinfectant & Deodorizer FAQs What are the directions for use? For use as a disinfectant, virucide, deodorizer, cleaner: 1. Pre-clean heavily soiled areas. 2.

What is the difference between “antimicrobial” and “antibacterial”? Antimicrobial agents destroy or inhibit the growth or reproduction of bacteria, fungi, protozoa or viruses that cause disease. Antibacterial means any substance intended to destroy, eliminate, reduce, mitigate or control the growth or development of bacteria on surfaces. Antimicrobial and antibacterial products are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Why is the EPA registration so important? The EPA closely regulates germicidal product claims, particularly where the target germs cause human illness. Since all germ killers are considered pesticides, the EPA requires testing to certify manufacturers’ claims for safety and effectiveness. Crypton Disinfectant & Deodorizer is registered with the EPA. How long does it take to kill bacteria and viruses on the surface of the Crypton fabric using EPA-registered Disinfectant & Deodorizer? The time it takes for bacterial and virucidal kills on Crypton Fabric varies just like on any non-porous surface. Be sure to follow instructions on the bottle to disinfect. We recommend that treated surfaces remain wet for 10 minutes to ensure it is effective as possible. Sanitation versus disinfection? Today, more than ever, disinfection is crucial to health and safety. Disinfectants are the only products approved by the EPA to kill viruses on hard surfaces. Sanitizers only have claims against bacteria. Disinfectants kill both bacteria and viruses. Crypton Fabric is the only fabric that can be disinfected. For more information visit mayerfabrics.com
