Frequently Asked Questions

What are antimicrobial treated devices

and how are they beneﬁcial?

Bacteria can live on a surface for months, and

switches and wallplates are two of the dirtiest

surfaces touched daily. Antimicrobial treated

devices from Leviton contain an EPA registered

additive to help keep switch and wallplate surfaces

cleaner by reducing bacterial growth.

How eective is antimicrobial treatment from

Leviton in reducing bacterial growth?

Independent lab tests demonstrate that our silver

ion antimicrobial technology is 99.9% eective in

reducing the growth of harmful bacteria such as

MRSA and E.coli, as well as many common staining

and odor-causing bacteria, mold and fungi.

Is there any special care required for

antimicrobial treated devices?

Usual daily proper hygiene and cleaning procedures

using approved cleaning products must be

maintained with antimicrobial treated devices.

How long is antimicrobial treatment eective?

Lab tests demonstrate that the antimicrobial

material on the devices remains intact when

subjected to 15,000 cleaning cycles (equivalent to

10 years*) each with a sponge that was saturated

with one of the following common cleaning

products: ammonia, isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen

peroxide and bleach.
