Microban Technology
The world’s only artificial grass with built-in antimicrobial technology. The only artificial grass that fits every lifestyle.
What is Microban®
- Microban® is the global leader in built-in antimicrobial, odor control, and surface modification technologies that keep products cleaner and fresher for longer, so you can worry less, enjoy life more, and Live On™.
- Microban® technology inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, keeping your yard cleaner and reducing odors.
How It Works:
1. Full Integration
The technology is integrated during the manufacturing process and becomes part of the product’s molecular structure. It will not wash off or wear away.
2. Contamination
The treated surface becomes contaminated with bacteria. As a result, contact.
3. Technology at Work:
The technology penetrates the bacteria and inhibits their ability to reproduce, make food, or eliminate waste.
4. A Cleaner Surface
Ultimately, the treated surface remains cleaner and is protected against the proliferation of stain and odor-causing bacteria.
Microban Key Features:
- By inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, Microban® technology helps make cleaning even more accessible.
- Microban® technology helps reduce odors caused by pet urine.
- Microban® antimicrobial agents prevent stain-and-odor-causing microbes from growing or reproducing. On an unprotected surface, bacteria can double in numbers every 20 minutes.
How It’s Built-In
- Microban® odor-control and antimicrobial agents are integrated into the turf blades during the manufacturing process.
- This patented technology never washes off or wears away and stays active for the product’s life.
Microban FAQs
How do products with Microban® antimicrobial protection work?
Microban® protection inhibits the growth of microorganisms. When microbes come in contact with the product surface, Microban® protection penetrates the microorganism’s cell wall and disrupts cell functions, making the microorganism unable to function, grow, and reproduce.
What benefit do I get from products with Microban® antimicrobial protection?
Microban® protection continuously fights the growth of microbes such as odor and stain-causing bacteria. Microban® protection makes products easier to clean and keeps them cleaner between cleanings.
What types of microorganisms does Microban® protection work against?
Microban® antimicrobial protection is effective against most common bacteria that cause stains, odors, and product degradation. Microban® technology is not designed to protect users from disease.
How do I know that Microban® antimicrobial product protection is safe to use?
Microban® technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. It is registered with the EPA and other regulatory agencies in other countries for all applications in which it is used. Microban® additives can be found in leading consumer and industrial brands worldwide.
Does this mean I don’t have to clean my products as much or as carefully?
No. Microban® protection provides continuous antimicrobial protection that protects the products, making them easier to clean and cleaner between cleanings. However, regular cleaning practices should be maintained.
Does Microban® protection begin working immediately?
Microban® protection begins to work when the microorganism comes into contact with the product surface. It then continuously maintains a consistently lower bio-burden than expected on a product without Microban® antimicrobial protection. Under the right conditions, microbes on an untreated surface can double every 20 minutes! Microban® technology is not a disinfectant or a substitute for regular cleaning practices.
How long does Microban® antimicrobial protection work?
Microban® protection is built-in during manufacturing and will not wash off or wear away. Microban® protection is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection for the product’s useful lifetime.
Artificial Grass Landscapes For Homes & Businesses
Golf & Putting Greens • Playgrounds • Sports • Dogs & Pets
Add timeless appeal that complements traditional architecture and modern homes. Artificial Grass, Paving, and natural stones are great options for patios in Southern California. As pavers and artificial grass are more durable than brick or concrete, extend your outdoor living space or create a new area for a fire pit or an additional patio.
Our Artificial Grass Landscapes are ideal for high traffic areas and are built to maintain its beauty, flawless appearance year-round. No more mowing, fertilizing, and watering, ever. Bring the heat, the cold, let it rain, or even snow. No matter what the weather conditions, your yard remains perfect. And because it requires minimal water, you can expect lower water bills year-round.
Our Turf Products
We strongly believe that it is essential to do our part to protect our environment to the best of our ability. For this reason, our manufacturer commits to continue pursuing sustainable options in our manufacturing practices, only using raw materials that will reduce or eliminate any negative impact on our planet and, most importantly, recycling.
While much of the turf offered today comes from China, we are proud to say that all Green-R Turf products are manufactured in the U.S.A. Our manufacturer only uses the highest quality raw materials, and we are entirely in control of developing and producing our products from start to finish. If you want to guarantee you are buying a quality product, look for products that say “Made in the U.S.A.” on them and are sold by reputable companies with strong ties to the industry.
Maintaining Your Artificial Turf Landscape is Simple
Artificial grass is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. You will need to complete a few easy maintenance tasks to keep it looking its best:
- Rinse It: Airborne dust and dirt can settle on your artificial grass and make it look dingy. Fortunately, cleaning it off is as simple as rinsing with water.
- Brush It: Heavy foot traffic can cause artificial grass to look flat and matted. To prevent or correct this, brush it against the direction of the blades with a plastic-bristled brush. That will get the edges standing up perkily again.
Power Brooming:
When synthetic turf fibers are not brushed vertically, they create a shiny appearance. This is due to the reflection of light. Defibrillation diminishes this shiny look by placing the fibers in an upright position and thereby reducing the amount of glare from the sun. When done correctly, defibrillation creates a much darker and plusher appearance.
- Alternatively can do it mechanically with a motorized broom. Or with a rake and/or push broom.
