Are microbes going to school with your kids?

Mount Laurel, NJ – Early Childhood Resources, LLC (ECR), a progressive manufacturer of school furniture, equipment and children's products, has partnered with Microban International, Ltd., the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection, to launch a new line of classroom furniture and equipment featuring Microban® antimicrobial technology, so classrooms stay cleaner and fresher longer than ever before.

As Americans are increasingly concerned about the presence of microbes in schools, early childhood centers and even at home, ECR products featuring Microban antimicrobial protection will usher in a new era of peace of mind in these environments.  Dirty tables, chairs and desktops can create the ideal conditions for damaging microbes, such as stain and odor causing bacteria, to grow and reproduce.  In fact, in a recent study, researchers found that the average table surface had 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat.

Recognizing the need for added protection in the school market, Early Childhood Resources is pleased to announce the launch of classroom furniture and equipment offering Microban protection against microbes.

Every Early Childhood Resources product offers quality, value and safety. “Now, in partnership with our educational dealer network, ECR products will offer even more value and peace of mind without any added cost to the consumer,” says David Scahill, Director of Sales & Marketing for ECR.

Built-in Microban antimicrobial technology will provide an added level of cleanliness for ECR school and early learning products by inhibiting the uncontrolled growth of microbes, such as bacteria that can cause odors, stains and product deterioration.  Because Microban antimicrobial product protection is infused into the product during manufacturing, it helps prevent microbes from growing for the lifetime of the product.  “Microban protection does not wash or wear away over time, which is crucial in schools, early childhood programs or other public areas where children play, learn and interact,” says Scahill.

Throughout 2010, Microban antimicrobial technology will begin to be available in a full range of school furniture and equipment including:
•   Rest Cots
•   Resin Chairs & Tables
•   Wooden Classroom Furniture
•   Soft Play Environments
