Best Answer

Traditional disinfectants act according to the "immediate elimination principle", i.e. a very effective method in the short run, sine microbes on the surface being treated are killed immediately, but it is clearly ineffective in terms of prevention, since little is done to prevent their resurgence. For example, normal disinfectants immediately eliminate microbes from the tables of a public venue, but if a hand is laid upon the surface, it is contaminated again. In contrast with traditional disinfectant, Bios can provide constant protection against germs by releasing its antibacterial power slowly and constantly.

The mineral antibacterial substances contained in the body of the tile fight against microbes in three ways: they stop cell metabolism, stop membrane conveyance processes and prevent cell multiplication.
