Question from Mary
I purchased a pair of scissors with Microban. I wouldn’t use a dish drainer with Microban. Presumably with the scissors I could wash my hands after using them, but I might still absorb Microban through my skin. Also, I have health problems. Shall I keep the scissors or pass them on?
Debra’s Answer
Pass them on. Scissors with Microban? What will they think of next? We don’t need Microban on every product in the world.
To my knowledge products treated with Microban antimicrobials have a “built in technology” which means it does not wash off or wear off. This is different than say applying a spray or liquid to a surface that washes off. I think sometimes people confuse these two differences.
Yes that is my understanding too. Antimicrobials do not wash off.
