PermaSafe - Metric Motors

Complete Vehicle Disinfection and
Long Term Antimicrobial Protection

While Alarming, it’s True: The steering wheel of the average vehicle in America harbors NINE TIMES MORE harmful bacteria than the average public toilet seat!

Research reveals that the average public toilet seat hosts 80 germs per square inch, while the average steering wheel is home to over 700! That’s pretty frightening news considering that over 75% of infectious diseases are spread by hands touching every- day surfaces.

Scarier yet, the steering wheel is far from the most germ ridden vehicle surface. Gear shift handles and trunks come in between 1500 – 2000 germs per square inch each.

How Risky is Your Ride?

Modern Vehicles have become Breeding Grounds for Germs, Bacteria, Viruses and Fungi, all of which are also known as Microorganisms, or “Microbes.”

Is Your Car Making You or Your Passengers Sick?

While any confined space that is frequented by people is prone to microbial activity, increased vehicle use, the popularity of ready-to-eat food and our habit of consuming it in our vehicles, as well as other lifestyle changes, have put drivers and passengers at greater risk of infection. And for motorists whose passengers include those with four legs, or someone who may be ill, wearing dirty shoes or dirty clothes, or even if that extra passenger is nothing more than a bag of trash from your last snack, the risks skyrocket.

Worse yet, there’s been little opportunity to improve this situation. While there is a wide range of upholstery, carpet and other surface cleaners on the market expressly formulated for automotive interiors, very few offer any microbial protection. And, even if they did, it would be all but impossible to thoroughly treat a passenger cabin’s many different areas, components and materials with them, let alone under its seats and dashboard or throughout its heating, air conditioning and ventilation system’s duct work. Further, any disinfection provided would be very temporary, disappearing completely the instant the product dried. Until now.

GERM
FACTS

How our Cars Make us Sick

When someone coughs in your vehicle, 3000+ droplets of germ-laden saliva, traveling up to 50 mph, are broadcast throughout its interior.

Sneezes are worse, sending some 40,000 tiny droplets, which can remain afloat almost indefinitely, airborne at speeds over 200 mph.

A sick person’s cough or sneeze can contain 200,000,000 individual virus particles and can infect others up to 10 feet away.

Germs enter our bodies through our mouths, noses, eyes and breaks in our skin.

About 75% of most common illnesses are spread by hands.

Every 3 minutes, a child brings his or her hands to their nose or mouth.

A Safe Solution

PermaSafe is a state-of-the-art, Vehicle Disinfection and Long Term Microbial Control System and Surface Protectant engineered specifically for automotive use.

Effective on all interior surfaces, a PermaSafe System installation starts with an initial disinfection of your vehicle’s passenger cabin, air ventilation system and duct work, trunk and other cargo areas. Our proprietary, ecofriendly and EPA approved disinfectant eliminates over 99.9% of germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, mildew and other harmful microbes that can be hazardous to passenger health, while also removing allergens and odors.

Once clean, disinfected and deodorized, the spaces and surfaces are then blanketed with PermaSafe SHIELD our patented Permanent Antimicrobial Surface Protectant.

While effective antimicrobials are not new, PermaSafe SHIELD’s ability to continuously eliminate and control microbes, and do so through a purely physical or “mechanical” process without the use of any harmful chemicals, is revolutionary.

How it Works

The Science Behind PermaSafe

Conventional disinfectants and antimicrobials kill microbes by poisoning them with toxic chemicals. Even those that achieve results with nontoxic ingredients are designed to both act and dissipate quickly to avoid harm to humans and animals. Unfortunately, as soon as the disinfectant evaporates, so does its antimicrobial capabilities.

Unlike other antimicrobials, PermaSafe SHIELD is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-hazardous, odor free, environmentally neutral, and can remain antimicrobially active for the life of the surface to which it’s applied.
