A Cleaner That Actually Gets Rids Of Germs Enters The Market

There are thousands of products out in the market claim to kill germs. Despite this, once you spray, or wipe an area, it can become contaminated within seconds.

But Nate Richardson, one of the founders of MonoFoil, said his products leave a barrier on the surface you are cleaning - so it stays clean longer.

Seeds: Nutrient Packed Germs of Life
Seeds are the germ of life. They are loaded with goodness and should be included in the daily diets.

"We started out in textiles, (thinking) what if the uniform was a barrier for the soldier?" Richardson, who was formerly in the military, told Fox News.

"If it could work for them, it could prevent blood-borne infections and keep them in the field longer," he said.

That's how Richardson and his partners eventually came up with the idea for MonoFoil.

Germs Abound More On Your Car's Steering Wheel Than on the Public Toilet Seat
A recent study has found that nine times more germs breed on the steering wheel of a car than on a public toilet seat.

Compared to other types of products, it eliminates germs for an extended period of time - sometimes even up to several months after.

What they use is a molecule that physically bonds to that surface. Once it's applied, it becomes a part of the surface.

Germs Allowed to Poison Themselves By Antibiotics That Only Partly Block Protein Machinery
Scientists and physicians thought that powerful antibiotics stop the growth of harmful bacteria by completely blocking their ability to make proteins.

They don't contain harsh chemicals, and they are environmentally friendly, he said.

Richardson said one university in Indiana was having a continual problem with staph infections, so the company did a fogging system on their locker rooms, bathrooms and training rooms. After two years, the university reported zero staph infections.

Sharing Musical Instruments Could Spread Disease-causing Germs
A pilot study has suggested that germs survive for several days in wind instruments including the clarinet, flute, and saxophone.

"The germ cannot adapt to (the surface), because (the product) is creating a physical action, not a chemical action," Richardson added.

He said Walt Disney World uses their products, especially on outdoor surfaces, and the company has reported they are able to go months at a time without cleaning - thus reducing cost in labor and overall chemical usage.
