WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL

Bacteria can be reintroduced to a surface as soon as it’s touched. Our tests, a manufacturer's lab visit, and third party data proved Microban 24 Hour Bathroom Cleaner cleans, sanitizes, disinfects and provides continuous hard surface protection, killing bacteria for up to 24 hours.

  1. LASTING PROTECTION After cleaning, hard surfaces were sanitized and bacteria was killed in less than 60 seconds when the spray was left to dry. To get 24-hour protection, spray the surface again to ensure it stays wet for five minutes.
  2. PREVENTS MOLD AND MILDEW In addition to cleaning effectively, this spray prevents the growth of mold and mildew for up to seven days when left to dry on pre-cleaned surfaces, helping you clean less often.
  3. SPEEDY DISINFECTING This bathroom cleaner only needs to be left wet on hard, non-porous surfaces for five minutes to almost completely kill the viruses and bacteria that cause staph infections, flu, cold sores and more. Give the surface a boost of spray, if needed, to make sure it remains wet long enough to disinfect.
  4. CUTS TOUGH SOAP SCUM Powerful ingredients dissolve stubborn soap scum and hard water stains with minimal scrubbing, yet the formula is safe to use on porcelain and plastic fixtures, glass, ceramic and sealed stone tile, and more.
