We want everyone to feel more confident their health is protected when inside buildings
Over a decade ago, the founders of Science-Proven Microbial Control® (SPMC®) saw the need to re-engineer cleaning service for the health of all stakeholders, from building managers to occupants to cleaners.
Cleaning often is about appearances only, removing visible soil, but potentially leaving harmful contaminants behind. This means occupants can spread infections from a building’s commonly touched surfaces.
SPMC created the MicrobX™ Antimicrobial Touchpoint Program to make buildings healthier with data-verified protection and done cost-effectively.
“Daily I ask one employee ‘Why are we in business?’ …while answers vary slightly, everyone gets our purpose and vision.”
