Interested to know more about what is happening in the textile world, how to act climate-smart and other news and deep stories on how we can change the way we view clothes?
Antimicrobial clothing is becoming increasingly popular, and we are seeing more and more designs hitting the marketplace. Once the preserve of boundary-pushing innovators in hygiene-critical work environments, brands in the lifestyle, outdoor, and athletics sectors are now releasing their own ranges. And it is incredibly well received by customers who recognize the value of integrated antimicrobial protection and actively seek it out.
Following recent research conducted by a team from the Florida Atlantic University (FAU), there has been considerable discussion about the extent to which rubber and plastic watch bands, like those found on the Smart Watches, harbor potentially harmful bacteria. This is particularly problematic for a device we rarely remove and wear during sweaty workouts, long runs, and other intense physical activity.
Keeping your clothes feeling and smelling fresh can be a struggle. As well as natural body odors, you have to compete with environmental odors, like smoke and cooking smells, and musty, damp odors from poor storage or a lack of drying. However, beneath all these challenges lurks the ultimate odor-causing menace - bacteria.
In their continuing mission to redefine freshness and reimagine product protection, Polygiene® have partnered with PPE specialists JSP to create high-quality and high-performance reusable PPE for a more hygienic - and more sustainable future.
