Vale KBF99 AntiMicrobial Tall Dandy Brush: what makes it different

The Vale KBF99 AntiMicrobial Tall Dandy Brush is a dandy brush for daily grooming, with extra long 6-inch medium stiff bristles that flick away dust and dirt, and a rubberized handle for comfort.

What sets it apart is the bristle material. Vale says KBF99 has been tested by Coventry University using the standard test for Anti-Microbial Activity, and that laboratory tests resulted in the KBF99 material killing 99% of the bacteria test culture. Vale explains that KBF99 coats the surface of the plastic with molecular strands, tiny spikes, and is rich in nitrogen molecules that carry a positive charge, which attract the negatively charged membranes of bacteria, fungi and algae so the spikes can rupture them. Vale also says KBF99 brushes assist in the prevention of infection and reinfection of diseases and skin conditions.
