Do you know what an antimicrobial fabric is? Today we explain exactly how our Safe Front technology works, and why it is so important to have it in your home.As many of you already know, our fabrics can protect you against viruses, bacteria, dust mites, and other microbes that are dangerous to humans, to a greater or lesser extent. This is achieved through the use of products that inhibit the growth of pathogens during the manufacture of the fabric itself.On the other hand, you know how committed we are to the environment and your peace of mind, so don’t worry, as everything we use to protect our fabrics is tested by third parties, so that it cannot be harmful in any way to the environment or living things.
How do they work? Antimicrobial fabrics work in the same way as soaps and disinfectants of the same type: they attack pathogens at the cellular level to prevent their growth and reproduction. Different products and tissues have different levels of efficacy. Some products merely slow the spread of pathogens over time, while others are designed to kill them on contact.Clothing, linens, and as you well know, sofas, provide a porous and warm environment, which is ideal for microbial growth. One of the reasons why fabrics made of antimicrobial material are so effective is that, by eliminating this hazard, they prevent dangerous pathogens from spreading, reducing the overall risk of infection in a hospital or other areas where hygiene is essential.
Why is it necessary in your home? The sofa is the center of tranquility, rest, and relationships in your home. It is where we spend most of our leisure time. If you have pets, it is even easier for your sofa to become a focus of bacteria and viruses, so Safe Front, which reduces the bacteria population by 99% in 24 hours, and viruses by 91% in the first 2 hours, becomes a must in your home to avoid any scares.
And what about COVID-19? although the COVID-19 strain is not available for testing, trials have been performed against another strain of the same family (feline coronavirus), demonstrating its efficacy in more than 91%, it is not possible to test it with COVID-19 yet, because the accredited agencies for these trials, consider it unnecessary to demonstrate its antiviral activity, so, being the same virus family, and presenting a similar envelope, it does not vary much, and we can assume that its efficacy is similar against this virus. So you know. Not only for the peace of mind of being able to clean your sofa easily with water, and for being pet resistant in its Aquaclean Extreme version, but also for that viral and bacterial protection, Aquaclean together with Safe Front, become indispensable for any modern home.
