Antibacterial kiosks are self-service devices that have been treated with antimicrobial coatings or wipes to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on their surfaces ¹. These kiosks can be cleaned and disinfected regularly and safely using specially tested products ². Some kiosks also feature UV-C light surface sanitizing solutions that can effectively kill germs and viruses ³. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments is limited and proper cleaning and maintenance of the kiosks is still necessary to prevent the spread of infections ¹.

  1. Kiosks with built-in antibacterial features: These aim to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria on surfaces users touch. This can involve:
    • Antimicrobial coatings: Applied to surfaces like touchscreens and buttons, these coatings kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses.
    • Touchscreens made of antimicrobial glass: This type of glass has a special coating that kills bacteria on contact.
    • UV-C light sanitization: Built-in UV-C lights can periodically disinfect surfaces within the kiosk.
  2. Kiosks used for antibacterial purposes: These might perform functions directly related to hygiene and germ control, such as:
    • Dispensing hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes: Providing easy access to cleaning solutions for users.
    • Monitoring air quality or surfaces for bacteria count: Alerting individuals or staff to potential hygiene concerns.
    • Providing information on hygiene practices: Displaying educational content about handwashing, cough etiquette, etc.
