Surface Defense FAQ’s

BIOSWEEP SURFACE DEFENSE is an antimicrobial solution that binds at the molecular level with any treated substrate rendering the entire surface antimicrobial. It creates a physical barrier of carbon chains that are pointed up like swords, penetrating any microbe which lands on the treated surface. Thus, it will prohibit any bacteria, viruses or mold from growing on the treated surface.

For BIOSWEEP SURFACE DEFENSE to work effectively, all surfaces should be relatively clean through normal, routine cleaning practices. There should be no visible dust or debris on the surface prior to treatment. If so, we recommend using a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down surfaces that may appear dirty with dust or lint. In addition, BIOSWEEP BASE TREATMENT should be considered prior to a BIOSWEEP SURFACE DEFENSE treatment in order to eradicate any airborne germs or bacteria that may land on any surface areas.
