with Benefits of Guardian with Microban® Antimicrobial Protection Guardian Sewing Thread with built in Microban® protection provides 24/7 cleanliness protection from microbes. Microban® technology provides a product that inhibits the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria on the sewing thread, keeping the seam crevices cleaner and fresher for longer. All of the BESI products are sewn with the Guardian Sewing Thread with Microban® for added strength and protection.

Resists Stains Fights Odor Causing Bacteria Helps Prevent Product Deterioration Fights Mold And Mildew
