The most popular rooms in the house are also popular for microbes.

Higher humidity levels and an ample food source make the kitchen and bathroom hot spots for
bacteria. In fact, on an unprotected surface bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes.

Silestone® is the first and only countertop with built-in
Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Microban
protection is built-in to the countertop, so it works 24/7
even between cleanings to keep Silestone countertops
cleaner by helping to prevent the growth of stain causing
bacteria on the surface of the countertop. Microban
technology is not designed to protect users against
foodborne illness or replace normal cleaning practices.
Microban protection provides an added level of cleanliness
between cleanings to keep your countertop surfaces
cleaner for longer.

Unlike granite countertops where microbes can penetrate the countertop surface if not properly
sealed, Silestone quartz countertops are non-porous, keeping microbes from penetrating the surface
of your countertop. And Silestone countertops are the only countertops with Microban antimicrobial
protection to help fight stain causing bacteria on the surface of the countertop for an added level of
cleanliness protection that will last the lifetime of the countertop.
