Antimicrobial copper-alloy touch surfaces

Have you heard of germs or bacteria? They are tiny little things that can make us sick. Antimicrobial copper-alloy touch surfaces are things made of a special kind of metal called copper that can help fight germs.

When we touch things like doorknobs, handrails, or countertops, we leave behind our germs. If someone else touches those same things later, they can pick up our germs and get sick. But if those things are made of copper, the germs can't survive on the surface for very long. The copper actually kills the germs!

So, antimicrobial copper-alloy touch surfaces are just things made of copper that can help protect us from getting sick. It's like having a superhero that fights germs for us!
