We're sorry to hear this. When used as directed, the Microban 24 protective shield stays on surfaces up to 24 hours to provide long-lasting protection against bacteria – even after multiple touches. Once it dries, most people don’t notice or mind the protective shield and are delighted with the long-lasting protection it provides. The specific bacteria this product kills up to 24 hours are: S. aureus & E. aerogenes. We'd be happy to learn more about your experience. When you have a moment, please give us a call at 1-800-608-3228.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Microban 24 is designed for non-kitchen surfaces such as doorknobs, handles, bathroom counters, and other high touch areas in your home in need of 24-hour long-lasting bacterial protection. While we understand the kitchen is a place people like to clean with a disinfectant, what you may not know is that many antibacterial products require kitchen surfaces to be wiped down with a water rinse after application. This means you have to continually reapply the product throughout the day. Microban 24 is specifically designed to stay on the surface longer to provide 24-hour protection against the spread of bacteria. Given this, Microban 24 should not be used on kitchen surfaces. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-608-3228.
