MicrobeCare: Antimicrobial Solution for Herman Miller Healthcare Products

MicrobeCare™ is an antimicrobial treatment that effectively controls bacteria, fungi, algae, and yeast on a wide variety of Herman Miller products. It kills 99.99% of microbes and prevents microbe mutation. MicrobeCare is safe and has recorded proven results in highly sensitive healthcare environments.

What does it do?

MicrobeCare reduces the spread of infection on the materials and surfaces of our products, keeping them germ-free in public areas, waiting spaces, offices, and sensitive healthcare environments.

How does it do it?

• Step 1: Cell membranes (microbes) are attracted to treated surfaces and punctured.

• Step 2: Due to the positive and negative ion exchange, there is deep penetration into the core membrane.

• Step 3: Physical rupture of the cell and electrocution by positively charged nitrogen molecules destroys the cell.
