Hi Peter:
I am wondering the types and nature of sprays that many are using for public areas these days as sanitizers. Any thoughts?

Antimicrobials are for use against bacteria. They have no use against viruses.  In the present situation, where people are concerned about the chance of touch transmission of viral disease, seeking to apply them would be a waste of scarce resources.

Hi Everyone,

Copying a question I saw in another group, does anyone have used antimicrobial-type tapes for highly touched areas?

Can you share your thoughts?

Thank you,

Alessandra
