Hot Trend: Antimicrobial Kitchen Counters
You may think you’re being smart by using antibacterial soap in your kitchen, but your next-door neighbor just had a new antimicrobial kitchen counter installed. That’s right. There is now a counter product on the market that not only looks great in your kitchen, but it also makes your cleaning duties easier by deterring microbial growth between cleanings, preventing stains and odors. Unfortunately there is no antimicrobial treatment that can just be added to your current countertop, as the antimicrobial process must occur during the manufacturing of the counter.
Currently the only microbial countertop on the market is available through Silestone® which has been joined by Microban International to bring this product to the market.
