## Best way to maintain a surface with antimicrobial coating

![System4IPS commercial cleaner specializing in Antimicrobial Coatings and Disinfection for Infection Prevention](https://knowledge.system4ips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Canva%20images/KnowledgeBase%20-%20Antimicrobial%20Coatings%20AMC.jpg?width=688&height=440&name=KnowledgeBase%20-%20Antimicrobial%20Coatings%20AMC.jpg)

Antimicrobial coatings form a strong bond with the surfaces to which they are applied. Routine cleaning and disinfecting will not remove the product. In fact, regular cleaning of treated surfaces removes dirt, dust, and dead microbes that could cover the treatment and limit its ability to kill microorganisms. (In other words, cleaning refreshes the antimicrobial coating.)

Antimicrobial coatings cannot be rubbed off or removed unless aggressive abrasives are used.
