?? The Hidden Opponent in Sports Facilities ???♂? Athletes push their limits daily, but what if the most significant risk to their performance isn't physical injury—it's microbial? High-touch surfaces in sports facilities quietly collect bacteria, fungi, and viruses, creating contamination hotspots that traditional cleaning methods struggle to keep up with. So, how do you keep these surfaces cleaner between regular cleaning and disinfecting? That's where Kismet Clean makes a difference. A recent study in two athletic facilities showed up to an 86% reduction in bacteria in showers and 90% on high-touch vinyl surfaces when treated with Kismet Clean versus standard cleaning protocols. Instead of relying on one-time wipes and cleaners, Kismet Clean provides continuous surface protection, helping to turn germ hotspots into safer touch-points. ??
