Anti-Bacterial Soap & Cleaning Products
The majority of Andover MN households use some sort of Anti-Bacterial Products for cleaning. Hand Soaps and Disinfecting Wipes are two of the most common varieties. They can do a great job of removing bacteria and other microorganisms from your body, countertops and other surfaces.

As a long time MN Septic System Professional, CSI Custom Septic, Inc. wants to remind our customers to use commonsense for the amount of Antibacterial Cleaners, Bleach, Antimicrobials and Disinfectants that is allowed to enter and possibly disrupt the decontamination process.
