Unpleasant odors don’t just smell bad, they affect how we feel about our immediate environment, perceive cleanliness, and assess the quality of a place or product. Whether it’s musty carpets, damp bathrooms, or smoke odors, unwanted smells develop for various reasons – and effective odor control depends on understanding those root causes.
A mattress protector is a simple and effective way to keep your bed clean, fresh, and in good condition, while also ensuring your expensive mattress lasts longer. Acting as a barrier between your body and the mattress, it protects against sweat, body oils, dead skin cells, spills, and other stains. Waterproof designs can also prevent liquids from soaking into the mattress, so you don’t have to worry about drying it out or lingering damp smells.
Bad smells in sneakers are usually the result of odor-causing bacteria that thrive in the warm, moist, and sweaty conditions found in footwear. Fortunately, there are ways to tackle the root causes, remove sneaker smells, and prevent them from returning as regularly. This can include odor-capture and antibacterial additive technologies, careful maintenance regimes, home remedies, and additional hygiene measures.
Welcome to this month’s Polygiene blog updates. In this edition, we have some exciting news about our work with trailblazing mountain biking specialists Chromag Bikes and do a deep dive on Polygiene’s third-party accreditations and what they mean for our partners and end users. There’s a fantastic personal history of Polygiene from our VP of Commercial Operations, and this month’s Polygiene Pick comes from Polygiene’s Head of Digital Marketing & Brand, Andreas Grevlind.
Polygiene has always been about making everyday products better. By helping clothes, footwear and other textiles stay fresh, the brand gives people the freedom to wear more, wash less and enjoy their products for longer.
Strong partnerships and close collaboration with our brand partners are at the heart of what we do. Trangoworld, a leading Spanish outdoor brand with decades of experience in developing high-performance gear for mountain adventures and beyond, has trusted Polygiene® for many years to add lasting freshness and reliable odor-control to their product range.
Whether you're training for a marathon, hitting the gym, cycling to work, or playing in your local football league, what you wear has a significant impact on your comfort and ability to perform. Over the last few decades, modern sportswear has embraced advanced technical fabrics and game-changing textile technologies, ensuring professional and amateur athletes have access to an incredible array of high-performance apparel. But this can make choosing between fabrics, or matching the right fiber to the right sport, incredibly tricky.
Great ideas often emerge through collaboration and networking. When Igor Ryabinin, Head of SPORT VERNETZT, introduced the project at a BSI event, we at Polygiene immediately knew that this was an initiative we wanted to support.
This month, we bring you several Polygiene-treated summer selections, highlighting warm-weather, fresher-for-longer products set to make a big splash this season. We have the initial findings and several headline stats from our most recent consumer report, and details of the upcoming Functional Fabric Fair New York. Finally, this month’s Polygiene Pick comes from Nick Brosnan, Polygiene’s Marketing Manager for the Americas.
Whether you are getting involved in the Couch to 5k, regularly hitting the treadmill at the gym, or training for a marathon, all athletes are likely to struggle with smelly running shoes at some point. Your running shoes are exposed to a lot of hard miles, and all that dirt, rain, and sweat is a perfect recipe for unpleasant odors.
Clothing choice makes a significant difference to your comfort and confidence when summer arrives and temperatures start to rise. Carefully selected summer clothing can help regulate body temperature, improve airflow, and move moisture away from the skin. On the other hand, apparel made from the wrong fabrics will leave you feeling hot, sticky, and sweaty.
May was an exciting month for Polygiene as many of the team headed to Berlin for our annual all-company meeting. This month’s blog features a round-up of events in the German capital, as well as an interview with Polygiene CEO, Dr. Sandrine Garnier. We’ll have news of our upcoming attendance at Functional Fabric Fair New York, as well as our brand-new Polygiene Picks feature. Enjoy!
Having had six months to settle into her new role as Polygiene Group CEO, we thought it was about time we sat down with Dr. Sandrine Garnier and learned a little more about her personal and professional journey.
Running in hot weather can be rewarding and enjoyable, and is often unavoidable in the summer months. However, it also places an additional strain on the body, and you will need to manage the heat if you’re to challenge your fastest times. In some extreme cases, running in the heat can be dangerous. Whether you’re training for a marathon, taking on the Couch to 5K challenge, or simply enjoying a weekly workout, this guide will help you do so safely, while also maximizing your performance.
Cotton is one of the most popular and widely used textiles in the world. Whether it’s clothing, bedding, towels, or furniture upholstery, cotton and cotton blends feature heavily in a remarkable range of products. Both have been used since ancient times, though the invention of synthetic fibers in the 20th century means brands and consumers now have even greater choice.
Cotton and linen are two of the most popular and widely used natural fabrics in the textiles industry. Everything from clothing and curtains to bedding and upholstery can feature one, the other, or a blended mix of both. As both materials are relatively breathable, versatile, and comfortable, they are often compared, and consumers regularly have to choose between them.
