After its bacteria-killing properties helped kept locker room surfaces clean, Microban 24 has been named the official sanitizing spray of the NFL to bring surface protection to locker room surfaces across the country.
Microban 24 is available in a sanitizing spray, a multi-purpose and a bathroom cleaner in both fresh and citrus scents. The Procter & Gamble-owned product lineup is sold at major retailers nationwide and online. It was a breakout cleaning brand as consumers foucsed on cleaning duirng the pandemic.
This season, Microban 24 is supplying NFL teams with sanitizing products, which keep killing bacteria on high-touch, hard surfaces for up to 24 hours. The brand is also teaming up with NFL protectors on and off the field to extend that protection to local youth football teams. To kick off the second year of the Most Valuable Protectors program, Microban 24 has named former Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis Sr. the “most valuable protector,” as he helps bring long-lasting bacteria defense to the Mecklenburg County (Charlotte, NC) Challenger Flag Football League, which serves children and young adults with disabilities.
“We are grateful for Microban 24’s generous support of both the Panthers Challenger Flag Football League and Mecklenburg County recreation centers,” said Riley Fields, director of community relations for the Carolina Panthers. “The Challenger program makes an amazing impact on the development of physical mobility, social skills and confidence levels for kids and young adults with special needs. These donations help continue those efforts while also helping create sanitized environments for the participants.”
Davis and Microban 24 surprised the team with a guest appearance at practice, which included spending quality time with the players, announcing a $10,000 donation to the program and more. Additionally, Microban 24 has donated a year’s worth of product to the local Challenger Flag Football Program.
“Throughout my career, my job was to defend the end zone and prevent my opponents from scoring. When I’m at home, my family is the top priority, and that includes sanitizing our home and stopping bacteria at the door,” said Carolina Panthers legend and former linebacker Thomas Davis, Sr. “I’m proud to partner with Microban 24 to extend that protection to the Carolina Panthers Challenger Flag Football League, and help bring 24-hour bacteria sanitization to their sidelines and beyond.”
Thomas will pass the most valuable protector torch to an NFL player on the New Orleans Saints who will continue the surprise for a local youth team in New Orleans.
“With players, coaches, staff, and family members coming and going from both NFL and youth football team events and locker rooms, it’s important to shield those places from the growth and spread of bacteria,” said Martin Hettich, SVP North America Home Care, P&G. “Microban 24 is excited to team up with the NFL, Thomas, and the Carolina Panthers Challenger Flag Football league to provide 24-hour bacteria protection wherever they need it.”
