Wearing protective suits, face respirators, gloves and boots, workers from Allen Keith Construction sprayed a cleaning agent, followed by an antimicrobial disinfectant known as Puribond, inside and outside of ambulances at the Green Fire Department.
The cleaning system, made by Independence-based Microshield 360, works against viruses like COVID-19, the flu and MRSA for at least six months after application, according to Zoe Nemeth, the director of marketing for Allen Keith Construction, which also operates CleanTech based in Green.
"It actually attacks the center of the pathogen and breaks it apart, so if you can imagine like a sword, going into whatever the pathogen may be and it breaks it apart, but continues to exist and thrive, so it actually continuously prevents anything that comes onto a surface," Nemeth said.
