Microban® hygiene protection replacement
filter.
Dear customer,
We hope you enjoy using your new GRUNDIG
handheld vacuum cleaner with its built-in
Microban® hygiene protection.
Special features
– Microban® hygiene protection in dust container
and filter.
What is Microban®?
Microban®is odourless, tasteless and colourless.
Microban®inhibits the growth of microorganisms
by permeating the cell walls and destroying the
micro-organisms. These cells are then no longer
able to reproduce and growth is prohibited.
Grundig offers an effective way to clean floors
hygienically with the impressive technology from
Microban®. The Grundig dust filter is equipped
with the integrated Microban®hygiene protection.
This even inhibits the spread of tiny microscopic
particles including house mites, pollen and dust.
Dangerous bacteria can hardly survive with the
integrated Microban® hygiene protection in dust
container and filter.
Microban® technology has been tested in inde-
pendent laboratories and certified, thus making a
significant contribution towards a healthier
household.
