FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes – the protectant can be used on most surfaces, both porous and non-porous. This is a tremendous advantage over common disinfectants which by federal law are mostly approved for hard, non-porous surfaces.

The KLEAN system calls for a layered protocol when treating bacteria, fungi and mold. The active ingredient forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer that bonds to the treated surface. You could think of it as a layer of electrically charged barbs. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine barb punctures the microbial membrane and the electrical field tears the cell apart. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial does not lose strength and the barb is ready for the next cell to contact it. Normal cleaning will easily remove the dead cells.

No. The KLEAN coating does not volatilize, dissipate, or leach onto other surfaces or people. Its chemistry polymerizes (bonds) where it is applied and forms a semi-permanent bond that essentially lasts the life of the treated surface when not touched or rubbed with friction. Normal cleaning will not easily remove the protectant barrier, although it can be eventually abraded away with friction. The KLEAN molecule can be reapplied to treated surfaces after 90 days, if necessary.

Since the cured antimicrobial is non-volatile, insoluble, and non-leaching, in theory the treatment should last for the life of the treated surface. This is true if the surface is never touched again, such as on studs behind a wall. Add in cleaning protocols in a public area, we recommend quarterly treatments. Factors include the cleanliness of the surface before application and how often disinfectants are used post application.

KLEAN’s leaders work alongside each customer to develop a customized protection program and application strategy based on their unique needs. Our delivery methods each have their own advantages and are often utilized in combination: ​ Foggers Electrostatic Sprayers Drones (recommended for large areas)

We currently have 4 offerings: • Surface Protectant – Kills bacteria, fungi and spores on contact and creates a surface barrier that continues to protect treated surfaces for a minimum of 90 days. • Mold Protectant – Unlike other mold remediation products, KLEAN's mold solution eliminates existing mold threats and continues to protect against future mold threats. • Hand Protectant– This alcohol-free solution kills on contact and protects hands from bacteria and spores for 24 hours when applied 2x a day. • Fabric Protectant – Kills on contact and protects fabric from bacteria, fungi and spores for a minimum of 75 washings.

Surfaces should be cleaned or scoured, utilizing normal cleaning protocols. This allows for the best adhesion to surfaces.

No. The unique properties permit bonding to most surfaces to which it is applied. Furthermore, this product will not give off any gases, leach onto other surfaces, or lose its strength quickly. If the surface is kept clean with normal cleaning procedures, the surface will continue to fight microbial growth.

The EPA states that the molecule is effective against microbes such as mold, mildew, fungi, algae and bacteria causing stains and odors.

Yes. The product provides continuous antimicrobial protection that protects the surfaces. However, normal cleaning practices should be maintained. Regular cleaning will ‘clean’ the barbs and prepare them for the arrival of additional microbes.

KLEAN products begin to work as soon as they dry on a surface and come in contact with any microorganism.
