Abstract:
Method and article for providing a rapid, broad spectrum bacterial control, and a rapid and persistent antiviral control on an inanimate surface is disclosed. In the method, a compound or composition capable of lowering surface pH to less than about 4 is applied to the surface, and preferably is allowed to remain on the surface, and the nonvolatile components of the composition can form a barrier film or layer on a treated surface.
