Use Bac-Shield in your cleaning program. Athletic facilities, equipment, apparel, towels and playing surfaces are excellent host environments for odor-causing microbes. Disinfectants and sanitizers kill microbes but offer no lasting protection against re-contamination. Bac-Shield, which is water-resistant when dry, imparts persistent antibacterial and antifungal properties to treated areas. Bac-Shield “fills the gap” between cleanings by protecting items while they are vulnerable during use.
