Door Handles are one of the most touched items in everyday life… Areas of higher traffic can mean larger deposits of harmful bacteria or viruses on door handles.

Infections small and severe, such as common colds and E-coli, as well as fungal and viral infections, can be present on ironmongery.  The longevity of every virus is unique, and some can survive on indoor surfaces for more than seven days.

CleanTouch enables the reduction in the spread of bacteria via handles.  CleanTouch is an antibacterial coating which contains silver ions which immediately suppresses the growth of bacteria on the handle.  The silver destroys the cell membrane of the germs and therefore blocks cell respiration and cell ingestion.  This causes cell division to stop and therefore the germ dies.
