For most people, boat cleanliness and maintenance is a huge problem. Boats are constantly exposed to water and other elements and are made with materials such as wood, carpeting, cushions, etc. These factors provide excellent food for mold growth and mildew. Even on boats that are operated in cold environments, parts of the hull become much colder than the warm, humid air you are comfortable with when on-board heating systems are used. This causes the warm, humid air from your breathing, cooking and dish washing to condense onto the cooler surfaces, essentially “watering” a mold colony like you would water a lawn or garden.

In addition to mold and mildew aboard your vessel, unwanted pests such as mice, rats and cockroaches may be using your boat as a temporary home for themselves, as they can feed off of organic matter on surfaces.  Once these pests have invaded your boat, their feces, urine and saliva can leave behind unsightly odors, stains or harmful bacteria that can be detrimental to you and your passenger’s health.

Some surfaces are designed to resist mold. Unfortunately, those surfaces are not manufactured to withstand the effects of accumulated sunscreen, dirt, residual soap and water. Wherever there is water, there is usually mold as well. And wherever there is organic residue, there is microbial growth. Even if you cover your boat’s seats, moisture can still penetrate them causing unsightly mold growth and stains that can be difficult to remove. Proper cleaning and care of your boat will pay off in the long run. Not only will you create a safe environment for your passengers, you will also ensure your boat is showroom ready if you decide to sell it. What’s more, it will cut down on expensive resurfacing jobs and help preserve the integrity of your boat for years to come.

XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial is an EPA registered revolutionary product. And it prevents the growth of an amazingly wide array of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and yeast by acting like a bed of microscopic spikes that pierce and physically rupture the cell walls of microbes without the use of poisons. Since XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial’s methodology is mechanical instead of poisons, it does not create “Superbugs,” which are microbes that build up a resistance to treatment, and since each microscopic spike is only about 1000 the diameter of a human hair, they are too small to harm large cells in mammals. This is a totally new approach to providing long-lasting antimicrobial protection. What makes the XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial unique is its ability to create a strong bond with a multitude of surfaces (porous and nonporous), forming highly durable and protective coating.

Here’s the bottom line…

If you want a cleaner, healthier watercraft for your clients, employees, and yourself without relying on ineffective harsh toxic chemicals to keep the place clean, then you should look into XMICROBE™. Give us a call today at 888-558-5254 and take the first step towards a Healthier Environment!

Liz Dieter, the centers Recreation Supervisor, was impressed with the ongoing results of the Healthier Verification Testing in the areas outside of the dining area. “You can’t argue with the test results” she said, “The number is right there in front of you.” Now that we have seen the results inside the center we are going ahead with treatment of our transport vehicles also” stated Dieter.

Charles Pieragostini, Mt. Kisco Recreation Commissioner, who oversees all of the towns recreation facilities was also impressed and has made the decision to treat the Village’s public pool facility.

“It is easy to see how adopting the H.E.L.P. program will improve the cleanliness of our bath house and changing facility. We are always concerned about mold growth due to the wet conditions we operate in and reducing or eliminating fungal growth will cut down on the possibility of spreading simple things like Athlete’s Foot.” ” I also like the fact that our primary season can likely be protected with a two part one step application – that saves time and money!

If not, please consider our Online IASQ™ Certified Professional Indoor Air and Surface Quality Course or our XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial available on the right side of this or any page.

The following specifics relate to those principles which apply to the use of XMICROBE™ and are identified using the numbers and headings from the USEPA list:

Prevention:

XMICROBE™ is applied as a spray and generates no excess solutions which must be disposed of. Remaining solution is stable and may be stored for use in the next application.

Designing Safer Chemicals:

Upon application, XMICROBE™ bonds first to the surface and then to itself through its cohesive bonding properties forming a large co-polymer compound. The special bonding abilities of XMICROBE™ can be attributed to its multifunctional bonding receptors. Each bonding site, on the surfaces that are treated or the cell membrane’s receptor proteins, are easily adhered to because XMICROBE™ contains a variety of complimentary binding proteins. The multivariate bonding combinations make XMICROBE™ an excellent combatant for treating surfaces against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, molds, yeast, mildew, and algae. It is extremely effective in destroying Staph, MRSA, E. coli, Salmonella and Influenza A. Once bonded XMICROBE™ immediately begins its assault against microbes using long protein chains which are synthesized from highly reactive, positively charged “R” group amino acids. It is because of the charged “R” group that XMICROBE™ has the ability to bond to a wide diversity of negatively charged, infectious and potentially fast spreading micro organisms. Because the bonds formed between XMICROBE™ and the microbes are covalent bonds the strength of the bond has no dislodgeable residue leaching, off-gassing migration or diffusion of the molecule. Once the bond has been established the length and reactivity of the molecular proteins spikes work quickly and effectively in eliminating the micro organism threat. The methodology is mechanical in nature preventing any creation of resistant strains or toxic residues. Normal cleaning removes any dirt, residue or dead organisms allowing the efficacy of the polymer surface to continue.

Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries:

XMICROBE™ continues to hold its bond even after the annihilation of the micro organism which has a twofold benefit. One, since the covalent bond between XMICROBE™ and the unwanted organism is never compromised, the possibility of latent pieces of microbial DNA being taken up and integrated into a host cell’s genetic code is virtually impossible. Two, due to the positive-to-negative charged bonds, the reactive “R” groups of the proteins are rendered impotent eliminating the possibility of XMICROBE™ rendering to another surface.

Water is the only solvent used for dilution of the XMICROBE™ concentrate to the desired application strength.

Design for Degradation:

The resultant polymer surface is durable and tightly bonded to the surface to which it is applied. Any breakdown material is non-toxic and is removed by normal periodic cleaning. Due to the chemical structure of the ammonium salt the compound renders itself harmless by simple decomposition, leaving behind no harmful residue or lingering byproducts.

Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention:

The XMICROBE™ concentrate is classed as a pesticide by USEPA and normal precautionary handling is required. There are no carcinogens in the compound. It is non-flammable, stable under normal conditions and is not subject to hazardous polymerization. In the event of accidental spill, the solution can be deactivated by addition of an anionic surfactant or detergent.

The XMICROBE™ material when used by or according to a certified technician of the Healthier Environment Living Program™ (HELP) provides affordable, long lasting antimicrobial protection. This protection can by monitored and managed through ongoing Indoor Air and Surface Quality testing provided by HELP. View more information on www.HealthierPrograms.com or call 888-558-5254.

Dangerous Poison Antimicrobials

Conventional products penetrate living cells and kill by way of poisoning or chemically altering the organism. They are designed to act quickly and dissipate quickly to avoid adverse effects to humans and animals due to their toxic ingredients. (The XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial Does Not) 

Most commercial antimicrobials used for treating building surfaces do a great job of getting a quick kill on bacteria and fungi, although most have a limited spectrum of effectiveness. (XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial Has A Broad Spectrum Of Effectiveness) 

Heavy metal based antimicrobials, such as silver ion may leach into the environment and lose their effectiveness over time. (The XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial Is Water Based That Won’t harm The Environment) 

Here’s The Big Difference… 

XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial takes a totally unique approach. It provides long-term control of growth on treated surfaces because the surface itself is modified to make it antimicrobial active. 

The active ingredient in the XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer, which chemically bonds to the treated surface. You could think of it as a layer of electrically charged swords. 

XMICROBE™ is a Safer Mechanical Microbial Reduction

When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the sword punctures the cell membrane and the electrical charge shocks the cell. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the anti-microbial doesn’t lose strength and the sword is ready for the next cell to contact it. 

XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial protection continuously fights the growth of microbes. Plus, the XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial protection makes the surfaces in your home easier to clean and keeps them cleaner and fresher between cleanings. 

XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long 35 year history of safe use. It is registered with the EPA for all applications in which it is used.

Benefits of Using the XMICROBE™ Laundry Protectant In Your Home And Business…

XMICROBE™ Laundry Protectant is a water based solution of an organosilane active material.  XMICROBE™ contains no solvents and is not flammable or corrosive.

It is extremely durable and typically remains effective after at least 50 launderings. In addition to antimicrobial protection, XMICROBE™ Laundry Protectant also provides durable antistatic properties and lubricity on all types of fibers.

XMICROBE™ Laundry Protectant can be applied to a broad range of textile products, including bed sheets, towels, blankets, socks, bedspreads, carpets, draperies, mattress pads and covers, outerwear, nonwovens, shower curtains, upholstery, wallpaper, undergarments, uniforms, footwear, and outdoor equipment to name a few.

Your dirty laundry from sports clothings, wet towels and the sheets you sleep on for days begins to grow bacteria, mold, mildew and the odors they create.  A regular wash of the garments left in your dirty clothes basket for days will not eliminate all the bacteria and other micro-organisms that has grown on these garments.

By using just one application of the XMICROBE™ Laundry Protectant you will reduce and or eliminate this bacteria, mold, mildew and the odors for up to 50 washes per item.

Example: One 16 oz. bottle of our XMICROBE™ Laundry Protectant will protect four regular loads of laundry.

Example of four regular loads:

• 12 pairs of jeans
• 4 pairs of shorts
• 8 long sleeve t-shirts
• 20 t-shirts
• 32 pair of underwear
• 28 pair of socks
• 4 sets of sheets
• 4 towels
