Most authorities recommend that you hold the handrail while riding an escalator for your safety to prevent dangerous slips and falls. Yet even lightly trailing your hand along the handrail can mean exposing yourself to a surprising quantity of bacteria and diseases.
One study of most germ-ridden surfaces in the London Underground revealed that the escalator handrails harbored up to a shocking 17 times more germs than average toilet handles.
These bacteria levels are measured by counting the colony-forming units (CFU) in every 10 cm2.
Our patented technology keeps bacteria and viruses away from the escalator handrail in three combined ways that traditional manual cleaning methods cannot compare.
Bacteria levels decreased from an average of 273 CFU to 0 CFU (5 samples were collected from different locations in Seoul)
