Are antimicrobial fabrics available for office lounge seating?

Yes. Several fabric manufacturers treat commercial textiles with antimicrobial agents (typically silver-ion or EPA-registered biocides) that inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold on the fabric surface. These fabrics are marketed under trade names such as Crypton, Nanotex, or Silverguard. They are particularly popular in healthcare waiting rooms, schools, and high-traffic public seating areas. Antimicrobial fabrics do not eliminate the need for regular cleaning — they slow microbial growth between cleanings. Performance typically lasts the life of the fabric with normal use and commercial cleaning. OfficeFurniture2go.com's lounge seating catalog includes options with antimicrobial fabric grades — call 1-800-460-0858 for current availability.
