Cutting Boards

Preventing bacterial infection chain reactions in the kitchen.

Foodborne illnesses are often caused by insanitary conditions in the kitchen. Bacteria like Salmonella, grow on food that is stored improperly. If this food is prepared on a cutting board, the bacteria are transferred to its surface Fresh food will be contaminated with this bacteria, when cut on such a board and the bacteria can proliferate on the food’s surface. You can contract an illness, regardless of having used fresh groceries. Using AgPURE Nanosilver inside such cutting boards interrupts this chain reaction, by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the cutting board thus contributing to a healthier kitchen environment.

Foot hygiene

Bathing Shoes

No spread of Fungi (Dermatophytes), the cause of athlete's foot

Bathing shoes are used in wet areas such as those offered in wellness hotels. Optimal growth conditions (wet and warm) for fungi may cause infections like athlete's foot. If different individuals wear the same shoe, the infection can be transferred from one person to the other. Fungi often settle on the surface of the shoe and their hyphae grow into the material. AgPURE Nanosilver inhibits the growth of the hyphae and stops fungal infections of the feet.
