Don't Eliminate Germs Once - Keep Them From Coming Back

Perhaps the most misleading idea about common sanitizers and disinfectants is that once you spray them on a surface, you’re good to go. The truth is, household names you might recognize stop killing germs as soon as they dry. So, any virus or bacteria that comes along afterward settles back in without a hint of trouble. When it comes to those typical solutions, the only real way to keep your space protected is by spraying surfaces constantly – much more than is safe. In fact, overusing disinfectants has been linked to health risks, antimicrobial resistance, and in extreme cases, environmental harm.

But doesn’t that leave us somewhere, trapped in the middle? Because, even with the potential risks of traditional disinfectants, you don’t want to give germs free reign in your home. Effectively, you’re left to grapple with the question of whether you risk the side-effects of common disinfectants or let the germs have their way. At least, that’s probably how it seems, but what if we told you there is a middle ground? What if we’ve just been going about eliminating germs the wrong way?

Instead of using various sprays that kill germs on initial contact and then let them right back in, what if you created a literal barrier between the germs and your surfaces, so they can’t return.

That’s exactly what SRFC Bio’s RS® spray does. Instead of becoming ineffective once dry, the patented formula creates an invisible coating that keeps it’s ingredients active on surfaces – it’s long-lasting. This germ-inhibiting, protective coating remains effective for days.

So, instead of pouring on more disinfectant every time someone coughs or sneezes near a countertop, that protective coating remains strong and works against those germs without an additional application.

What Can You Defend with RS® Spray?

Notably, our RS® spray has proven effective through lab testing against an entire array of different viruses and bacteria. Some common ailments you might recognize include:

Cold & Flu
COVID
Candida Auris
Pink Eye
RSV
E. Coli

Because RS® creates an active physical barrier between everyday surfaces and germs, the moment viruses land, the coating works to eliminate them – even days later.

Better yet, a normal cleaning routine, such as wiping counters down with a wet rag, will not remove the protective coating. It isn’t water soluble, so you can clean up spills and messes without having to reapply.

You can use RS® to protect many different non-porous surfaces, and even fabrics like curtains, backpacks, and shoes. That way, when cold and flu season starts up, your kids don’t bring the bug back from school with them. Effectively, it breaks the chain of infectious transmission, keeping germs from ever getting to you.

Use RS® Against Cold & Flu

In the same way you would want to wipe down a table before putting a tablecloth over it for protection, RS® works best on pre-cleaned surfaces. Afterward, you simply spray the solution liberally over the area you want to protect. As it dries, the solution undergoes a reaction that creates a long-lasting, active barrier of protection. This coating works for days or even weeks, remaining effective against germs that land on it.

Applying RS® weekly can also help mitigate foul smells in difficult-to-reach areas, such as trash cans, pet-bedding, cabinet space, and others. However, even a monthly application measurably eliminates bacteria and other viruses that cause sickness. So, a coating of RS® helps reduce exposure to the negative effects of disinfectant overuse while arguably keeping your space even safer.
