Schwob, the Swiss textile manufacturer and laundry operator, has successfully implemented the laundry hygiene concept by Sanitized AG, a pioneer in the field of antimicrobial hygiene function and material protection, which provides reliable antimicrobial protection for bed linens, towels or work clothing.

Textiles with skin contact are sensitive issues in hotels, hospitals or homes for the elderly. Bed linens, towels as well as work clothing must be reliably protected against bacterial colonization. However, the bleaching agents used in laundries make the achievement of a long-lasting protective effect more difficult.

Sanitized AG has developed a product especially for commercial laundries that can be added as needed to each washing process to guarantee optimal action against bacterial colonization during transport, storage and use.

According to reports by Schwob AG, using Sanitized hygiene protection is effective against mildew and bacteria, and can be incorporated into the washing process without any additional expense and will withstand dryer temperatures up to 140 degrees.

The hygiene aspect is enhanced by tangible economic benefits. The Sanitized treatment prevents the development of aggressors such as mildew, which leads to unwanted spot formation and subsequently to material fatigue, thus extending the useful life of the textiles substantially.

The Sanitized hygiene function can be built not only into the cotton and blended fabrics of bed linens, but also into mattresses, carpets, curtains, terrycloth products, kitchen and table linens or work clothing. It is applied during the washing process and is renewed on a regular basis, the company informs. (GK)
