Here’s the tweet I got it from

Found these when going through the notes, so unashamedly reblogging.

on this note we should also switch to brass lightswitches and lightswitch plates, handles on fridges/microwaves, and remote controls

steampunk it up, we can have some class while preventing contagions

Oh awesome! If we ever own a home, I’m making sure we get some brass doorknobs. :)

Maybe once this is all done we can finally go back to using real brass doorknobs.

Brass is extremely harsh on the outer lining of bacteria and viruses, it breaks them down, thereby making brass a self-disinfecting material perfect for surfaces like hand rails and doorknobs

Another fun fact, the strong odor of brass is not actually from brass. Brass has no smell. The odor is the dead skincells and body oils on your hand breaking down from touching it. It’s literally the smell of it cleaning your hand

There’s been a dude…can’t remember his name…desperately trying to get hospitals to switch from using stainless steel and plastic for regularly touched surfaces to brass and copper (copper is the part of the alloy of brass that gives it these qualities)

In some studies run in a few hospitals, I believe the reduction in hospital-related infections was something like 56%. Just by replacing things like light switches, doorknobs, and bed rails that get touched a lot with copper. 

Microbes cannot develop a resistance to copper or brass, and it kills antibiotic resistant bacteria as effectively as anything else. 

The resistance to using more copper in health care settings seems mainly to be from the fact that brass and copper will tarnish and go dull, which in no way effects their ability to self-disinfect. Stainless steel LOOKS nicer and cleaner, but harbors germs like a motherfucker. 

I didn’t actually believe this (because frankly it sounds too good to be true, but a quick Google search will in fact show that it seems to be the case. That’s kind of amazing.
