'Killer Stainless Steel': New Process

On a side note of killer utensils.

Cutting boards are the same way, Plastic cutting boards such as made from the likes such as UHMW hold bacteria, while the old fashion wood cutting boards made from hard maple can more sanitary.

Years ago, I had read that the reason for this was because wood has a natural antiseptic, but this is not the case as this link points out.

Stainless steel is a popular material for door trim. Bacteria on door hardware, in particular the handles, is a constant concern for health care facilities.

This particular problem has had a solution for a while, This press release from one manufacturer explains their available optional antimicrobial coating for door trim. I find it noteworthy that very few design professionals (in the markets I deal with, anyway) specify this for new projects.

These treatments are NOT a substitute for good housekeeping practice!

there was a study done where it involved taking swabs from door handles in public places. It actually quite scary.

Now I have to dig.

ps

stay away from hospitals.

Oh yes indeed. Hospitals are glorified germ factories!

You (or your insurance) pay several thousand dollars to become infected with something you didn't have when you went there.
