And for metal surfaces which are not self-sanitizing by nature, like steel, there are coatings which can be applied to achieve the same effect. This is often used in public transport.

Microban is a company, not a product, and they make a wide range of products, some of which are zinc or silver based coatings and effective in slowing the growth of bacteria and fungus.
