Kimberly-Clark Professional Launches Exclusive Product Solution With Microban Antimicrobial Protection to Address Concerns About Exposure to Bacteria

ROSWELL, Ga., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- If you thought a toilet seat was the most bacteria-laden place in a public restroom, think again.

At a time when public concern about the day-to-day risks of exposure to microbes remains high, Kimberly-Clark Professional has an exclusive product solution that addresses these issues: A full range of toilet paper and paper towel dispensers with Microban antimicrobial protection.

The dispensers offer built-in antimicrobial protection against common bacteria, such as yeasts, molds and fungi that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.

Kimberly-Clark Professional is the only personal care products provider licensed to offer dispensers with Microban protection.
