CFCM Microban Manchester Mills Curtain 400Microban International and Manchester Mills announce the launch of shower curtains with built-in antimicrobial product protection for the hospitality and healthcare industries, expanding on the success of the Protect360° range of innovative textile solutions. Microban antimicrobial technology is built into the Protect360° shower curtain and its liner to inhibit odors and the growth of damaging bacteria, mold, mildew and fungus. Bart Kennedy, senior director of business development – global textiles from Microban, explained: “The new Protect360° shower curtains are unmatched in their quality and integrate rigorous antimicrobial protection with aesthetically engineered textiles, putting customers’ cleanliness needs at the forefront.” 

In a recent survey conducted by Microban, 85 percent of hotel guests consider the cleanliness of shower curtains and liners very important when staying at a hotel, yet shower curtains and liners are perceived as one of the dirtiest items in a hotel room. The excess moisture and humidity in hotel bathrooms can allow mold to spread and multiply on shower curtains if they are not routinely and properly cleaned. Microban antimicrobial technology works continuously to keep the shower curtain cleaner and fresher in between washes. Elizabeth McNulty, senior vice president and general manager at Manchester Mills, commented: “At Manchester Mills, our goal is to develop innovative textile solutions that provide a cleaner experience and increase consumer confidence. Building on our successful Protect360° lineup to include shower curtains and liners with Microban antimicrobial protection is the perfect textile solution to meet the needs of the hospitality and healthcare industries.”  

Protect360° shower curtains are also water repellent, allowing for quick drying time. Ultrasonic hems with magnets keep the shower curtain perfectly in place, while hook-free rings promote easy installation. Long lasting and durable, Protect360° shower curtains were commercially wash-tested to withstand rigorous hospitality and healthcare standards. Available in neutral colors, design options range from solid, textured fabrics with decorative accents to classic patterns that look stylish in every bathroom.
