A: It is said to be even better than lysol. See lysol kills viruses and bacteria but once you start touching different surfaces, you have to spay it down again. With Microban, you spray it once and for 24 hours it keeps killing whatever is on surface you have cleaned it with.

A: Thanks for asking, Tam. This product isn't designed to eliminate odors. Microban 24 is a new way for people to keep their homes sanitized for 24 hours. What you might not know is that even when you treat a surface with many current disinfectants, bacteria can grow and spread on the surface once you touch it again. When used as directed for 24 hour sanitizing, Microban 24 keeps surfaces protected from the spread and growth of bacteria for 24 hours, even after multiple touches. It works throughout the day to provide long-lasting protection against bacteria on surfaces in your home. The specific bacteria this product kills up to 24 hours are: S. aureus & E. aerogenes. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at 1-800-608-3228.

A: Thank you for your question, Vivian. The EPA created the emerging viral pathogens policy to protect consumers in the case of new organism outbreaks like Covid-19, SARS or MERS. The EPA recognizes that in the event of an emerging viral pathogen, the strain is likely not available for testing and that existing disinfectants will not have the specific virus on the label but utilizes the microbial hierarchy to determine which type of viral pathogen must be pre-approved to enable off-pack communication on the emerging pathogen. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to call us at (800) 608-3228. In accordance with the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen policy, the “Protection that Lives on Microban 24 Hour Keeps Killing 99.9% of Bacteria for Up to 24 Hours Multipurpose Cleaner” (Microban 24 Hour Multi-Purpose Cleaner), the “Protection that Lives on Microban 24 Hour Keeps Killing 99.9% of Bacteria for Up to 24 Hours Bathroom Cleaner” (Microban 24 hour Bathroom Cleaner), AND “Protection that Lives on Microban 24 Hour Keeps Killing 99.9% of Bacteria for Up to 24 Hours Sanitizing Spray” have all demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to 2019 Novel Coronavirus on hard non-porous surfaces. Therefore, Microban 24 Hour Multipurpose Cleaner, Microban 24 Hour Bathroom Cleaner, and Microban 24 Hour Sanitizing Spray can be used against 2019 Novel Coronavirus when used as a disinfectant in accordance with the directions for use against Rotavirus on hard nonporous surfaces. Microban 24 does not provide 24-hour protection against any viruses.

A: Great Question, Renee! Microban 24 has been thoroughly evaluated for use around common household pets by P&G toxicologists and veterinarians. It can be used as directed on non-food surfaces such as pet crates, litter boxes, and dog beds. Be sure to allow the surface to dry before your pet returns to the area. Similar to how you would not use a disinfectant on dishes, Microban 24 should not be used on pets’ food or water dishes. Like all cleaning products, Microban 24 should be kept out of reach of pets and children to avoid accidental exposure. Please note, we have not done extensive evaluations for reptiles, amphibians, fish or birds. Because these types of pets are considered highly sensitive, we don’t recommend using Microban 24 in any area that might come into direct contact with them.
