How would you like to share in a piece of that flu your co-worker had last week?  It sounds disgusting, but did you know that bacteria such as staph, or MRSA can survive on fabrics and surfaces for days and often even weeks?  That's right, weeks!  According to the Centers for Disease Control, the build-up of such bacteria on work surfaces leads to things such as illness and allergic reactions that can be difficult to treat.  Furthermore, bacteria if left unchecked can cause some other pretty serious problems in the workplace including odors, stains, and degradation of work surfaces.  Below are some key reasons why choosing antimicrobial work surfaces makes good business sense.
