As we officially pass the one year milestone of living with the COVID-19 pandemic, a break from the heavy emotional and mental toll is finally opening up. More consistent, routine sanitization efforts and antimicrobial care are creating opportunities to return to the important social and faith-based community spaces in people’s lives — such as churches — providing a necessary infusion of cultural togetherness to help communities heal during these times.

While virtual and outdoor services have become regular staples during the last year of socially distanced interactions, the inability to meet in person within houses of worship has been difficult on congregations. Fortunately, increased cleaning and safety precautions, spearheaded by a new antimicrobial cleaning treatment, are driving a return to in-person services within churches and faith-based organizations, as congregations feel safer while meeting inside and in groups.

Providing Thorough Antimicrobial Care with MicrobeCare™

One of the most effective ways to combat disease-carrying organisms and allow groups to be able to meet in public while still feeling safe is by thoroughly cleaning and treating the surfaces where people interact. As members meet and interact, sharing spaces and worship materials, surfaces can quickly become cross-contaminated. Keeping track of every point of interaction and potential area can be difficult, particularly for churches with limited or primarily volunteer staff-members.

To provide peace of mind for congregations meeting in churches for services, community groups, and day-to-day activities, our unique antimicrobial solution can be used to coat common surfaces — such as pews, high-traffic hallways, and shared books. With the experienced team at Clean Technologies available 24/7, and because the treatment doesn’t require any pre-cleaning or additional preparation before being applied, all areas and points of concern can be treated with the antimicrobial care solution more quickly and thoroughly than traditional disinfection solutions.

Once applied, our treatment uses a mechanical mode of action to form a molecular bond with the surface, creating a durable barrier that guards against mold, mildew, fungus, and microbial pathogens. The unique application process remains effective for a longer period of time when compared to other applicators and chemical cleaners, providing protection to surfaces for six months and beyond.

A Safer Solution for Safer Services

It’s important to remember that churches serve the entire family — young and old, those in need, and members from all walks of life. Because of this, specific members of the congregation can potentially be more susceptible to certain pathogens and microbes than others, and special care should be taken to ensure they’re able to safely attend services without issue. This is also why it’s important to be mindful about which solutions are used to disinfect and protect shared spaces.

With chemical disinfectants, bacteria and microbes will be eliminated on surfaces immediately upon application, but exposure allows the surfaces to quickly become contaminated once more and leave residual chemical elements behind

These residual elements can be just as harmful, if not more, than the microbes and bacteria the cleaners are being employed to. Rather than putting the most vulnerable within the community at risk with harsh chemical cleaners, employing a safer antimicrobial protects surfaces providing a long lasting, less toxic solution.

Our treatment bonds to surfaces in as little as 15 minutes, without leaving behind residual aerosolized particles, and the solution is non-leaching, meaning it will not transfer from the applied surface to clothes, skin, or food. It works by forming a covalent bond with the surface it’s applied to and drawing in microbes using positively-charged nitrogen atoms and a linked carbon chain to rupture pathogens. This specific type of chemical bonding, combined with the unique application process, allows us to more effectively coat surfaces without producing potentially harmful residual elements.

Provide greater peace of mind for returning members of the congregation, with a more effective, long-lasting antimicrobial care solution.
