On antimicrobial coatings — it is important to remember these coating generally “inhibit the growth”. If you can inhibit growth over 72 hours (ie no touching of screen) then bacteria will die on its own accord. Antimicrobial coatings do not kill bacteria directly.  Also note that there are companies who are taking advantage of the situation.

Lawsuits 6 months down the road are a definite possibility if you make false promises based on a false sell.  Always ask what it does and what it doesn’t do.

Our current recommendations:

Clean surfaces with warm soapy water. That breaks down the viruses and removes it.  Touch screens use different solution.
Another option — wipe down with bleach wipes and after several passes of that wipe down with Easy Screen.
Bleach – figure 1/3 cup bleach per gallon of water for mix ratio
Avoid highly concentrated solutions of alcohol based.
If you want to “double-clean” then consider getting handheld UVC product like the Blade below for localized and safe UVC cleaning (after surfaces have been wiped down).  Oily fingers are one of the complicating factors to consider.
Include hand sanitizer station near the kiosk
Place a daily maintenance sheet near the kiosk indicating last maintenance and cleaning. Ideally, build it into your application so the maintenance cycle is automated, recorded and displayed at the actual device.
