🛠 Interesting Facts!! 🛠 "Your brass door knobs help to keep you healthy Doorknobs are a major source of germs and also areas we often overlook whilst cleaning but you don’t have to worry about that if you have brass or copper knobs in your house because they can naturally disinfect themselves every few hours. Copper and brass both contain metal ions that are toxic to a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi and when these metals come into contact with microorganisms, they can disrupt the cell membranes and cause oxidative damage, which can ultimately lead to the death of the microbe. Studies have shown that copper and brass surfaces can reduce the levels of harmful microorganisms on surfaces by up to 99.9% within just a few hours. This makes them a great choice for frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, where germs can easily accumulate." -Property 24
