Introduction to Self Cleaning Door Handles
Do you know what self cleaning door handles are? They are a new trend in the market that is becoming more popular. Self cleaning door handles are innovative because they have silver ion antimicrobial technology which helps to keep surfaces clean, safe and healthy. This article will discuss self cleaning door handles, how they work, why it’s important to use them in your business office environment and how easy they are to install with self adhesive backing.
Self cleaning door handles are a new way to keep your office environment clean, hygienic and healthy. Self cleaning door handles have self adhesive backing that is designed for any door handle so they can be installed quickly and easily by just peeling off the back of self cleaner protection strips. In order for self cleaners to work effectively it requires an ultraviolet light which emits ultra violet rays in order to activate the silver ion antimicrobial coating on self-cleaners which makes them 99% effective against harmful germs such as SARS-CoV-2 when used correctly.

Why use Self Cleaning Door Handles?
Hand soaps have been seeing rocket sales over the past two years due the pandemic, and whilst they are great at helping kill germs on your hands, they are not very efficient. They need to be replaced or filled up regularly and this can come at a cost for some businesses – both in financial terms and in labour terms if there are many sanitising stations to refill each day.
Self cleaning antimicrobial door handle wraps on the other hand last for up to one year and they only need replacement every 12 months, which is a much more sustainable solution.
Hygienic door handles can be installed onto any door handle without having to remove or replace it. Self-cleaning antimicrobial technology works best in places that have high traffic areas such as busy office spaces where there are many people entering and exiting each day. It’s important to use self cleaning door handles because of the harmful germs spread through touching doorknobs – this includes colds & flu viruses amongst others. By using self cleaning door handles, you will help protect against these types of infections by reducing 99% of bacteria on the door handle.

How do Antimicrobial Door Wraps Work?
At Veraco, we have made great use of silver ion antimicrobial technology to ensure that we have an effective solution against tackling infections. This relatively new type of antimicrobial technology uses silver ions to prevent the spread of pathogens by disrupting the bacteria’s metabolism.
Silver has been used for centuries to kill microbes. Silver Ions are created when an ionised atom attaches itself to an electron in cells, this weakens its biological make-up by attacking DNA which prevents reproduction and multiplies into dangerous pathogens. This is the technology we utilise in our antimicrobial products.

Are Self Cleaning Door Handles Fully Safe?
Of course! Antimicrobial technology stretches back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, who used plant extracts and moulds in their treatment for infections. In modern day antimicrobials are being produced through a variety of means that make public spaces safer by use of silver ions which naturally kill bacteria, fungi or viruses.
If used in accordance with the instructions provided, antimicrobial products have been shown to be safe and effective at fighting harmful bacteria.
