General Questions

Q: Does mold and mildew release harmful particles in the air?
Mold and mildew release toxins into the air.
Q: Where does Pet Allergies come from?

Q: What is MRSA?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (usually pronounced in short as "Mursa", alternatively as "Mister Sa"), is a bacterium responsible for some difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). The organism is often sub-catagorized as community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) or hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) depending upon the circumstances of acquiring disease, based on current data that these are distinct strains of the bacterial species. MRSA is a resistant variation of the common bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus. It has evolved an ability to survive treatment with beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin and methicillin. MRSA is especially troublesome in hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections. In hospitals, patients with open wounds and weakened immune systems are at greater risk for infection than general public. Hospital staff who do not follow proper sanitary procedures may inadvertently transfer bacterial colonies from patient to patient. MRSA was discovered in 1961 in the UK. It is now found worldwide. MRSA is often referred to in the press as a superbug.

BioShield®75 Questions & Answers

Q: What is EnviroSystems® BioShield® 75 antimicrobial product protection?
BioShield® technology is a spray-on antimicrobial protection for porous, and non-porous surfaces. BioShield® antimicrobial protection gives substrates an added level of protection against damaging microbes such as, bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.
Q: How does BioShield® antimicrobial protection work?
The active ingredient in the BioShield® 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. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine sword punctures the cell membrane and the electrical charge shocks the cell. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial doesn’t lose strength and the sword is ready for the next cell to contact it. Note that in order for the BioShield® Antimicrobials to continue their effectiveness, normal cleaning of treated surfaces is necessary. Dirt buildup, paint, dead microbes, etc. will cover the treatment prohibiting it from killing microorganisms.
Q: What benefit do I get from products with BioShield® antimicrobial protection?
BioShield® protection continuously fights the growth of microbes that can cause stains, odors and product degradation. BioShield® protection makes the surfaces in your home easier to clean and keeps them cleaner and fresher between cleanings.

Q: Does this mean I don’t have to clean my products as much or as carefully?
No. BioShield® protection provides continuous antimicrobial protection that protects the surfaces in your home, helping to make them easier to clean and keeping them cleaner between cleanings. However, normal cleaning practices should be maintained.

Extensive testing and a long use history have shown BioShield® surface protection to be safe. While it is impossible to say that no one will ever experience an allergic reaction to anything, it is highly unlikely a negative experience would be observed.
Q: Does the use of antimicrobials cause resistant strains of microorganisms?
No. since this is a mechanical action there is no opportunity for cell adaptation or mutation.
