Although textiles are not seen as a major carrier of viruses, you can find viability of viruses for several hours to a day.  The viruses can get trapped on textiles and thus have reduced likelihood of spreading.
Over recent months, the manufacturer of the BI-OME technology has worked closely with a series of international third-party laboratories to test different fabric substrates against a wide range of enveloped viruses.
Before washing, the various textile samples treated with BI-OME shown excellent results on virus reduction.
After washing, a decrease in virus reduction performance of coating technologies was expected. However, the fabric can be washed up to 25 times without reducing the biocide coating, BI-OME retained its ability to reduce 98.5% of the viruses.
The public and public health officials should feel confident that the Entra-Clean Hygiene+ is available to help protect people from the spread of viruses.
