Antimicrobial surface treatment
A surface treatment powder comprising (a) about 50 wt. % or more of a percarbonate, perphosphate, persulfate, peroxide or perborate salt; (b) about 0.2-10 wt. % of a chlorinated isocyanurate salt; and (c) a bleach activator, and method of using same to inhibit the growth of a microorganism on a surface.
