The CDC recommends frequent washing of hands and the cleaning of surfaces as the most effective way to control the spread of germs, including e-coli, salmonella, AD-14 common cold virus and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Although washing and cleaning are highly effective when rigorously practiced, without some form of antimicrobial barrier protection, conventional cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection cannot keep pace with the incidence of surface contamination in the real world.
