Dri-Eaz announces new, improved Milgo antimicrobial
- manufactured by Microban for water damage restoration

Burlington, WASHINGTON - April 12, 2004 - Dri-Eaz and Microban are joining together to offer restorers a new and improved Milgo antimicrobial, designed specifically for the needs of water damage restoration. Manufactured exclusively for Dri-Eaz by Microban, Milgo QGC offers safe, effective antimicrobial protection with improved disinfecting and cleaning power. Milgo QGC is now available in all U.S. states including California.

"Our new partnership with Microban allows us to even better support the restoration professional's desire to ensure thorough job completion while inspiring homeowner confidence," said John Ormsby, Director of Customer Relations at Dri-Eaz. "Many homeowners are concerned about the potential for mold and bacteria growth after a water damage situation. Using effective antimicrobials can help restorers address this challenge."

New Milgo QGC, a professional strength antimicrobial and sanitizer, is highly effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It inhibits the growth of mold and mildew and handles tough odors like urine, sewage, and perspiration. Milgo QGC is a safe, one-step concentrated hospital-level disinfectant cleaner that replaces Milgo Plus in the Dri-Eaz product line - with the same active ingredients plus additional cleaning strength.

Using an antimicrobial like Milgo QGC during the water damage restoration process can help ensure the job is complete and reduce the potential for mold, fungi, and bacteria growth. Bacteria can exist in a structure before a water damage situation occurs. When moisture is introduced, potential for the presence and growth of bacteria and mold increases. Although mold is often visible, bacteria may not be.
