93% of people consider their workwear clean after washed.*
It is a common misunderstanding that clean would equal hygienic but neither home washing nor regular laundry services meet the hygienic standards of many industries. Cleaning only removes visible dirt, whereas hygienic cleaning also eliminates invisible dirt, bacteria, and other pathogens. For many industries, home washing or regular laundry services simply do not meet the industrial and legal requirements and therefore impose a risk for both employees and employers with responsibility for product safety.
