What is Microban® ? Microban® is odourless, tasteless and colourless. Microban® inhibits the growth of microorganisms by permeating the cell walls and destroying the micro-organisms. These cells are then no longer able to reproduce and growth is prohibited. Grundig offers an effective way to clean floors hygienically with the impressive technology from Microban®. The Grundig dust container is equipped with the integrated Microban® hygiene protection. This even inhibits the spread of tiny microscopic particles including house mites, pollen and dust. Dangerous bacteria can hardly survive with the integrated Microban® hygiene protection.
