Stay Home, Work Safe

As per medical advisories by the World Health Organisation it is important to frequently wash your hands and practice social distancing to help curb the spread of the virus. Studies have also suggested that the virus can stay on particular surfaces, including cloth, for a few hours or maybe even a few days. We need to be careful about the surfaces of our clothes which can be the carriers of the virus. Here are a few tips you can follow when doing your laundry during the pandemic: Wash as soon as possible- When going out to shop for essentials surfaces can catch the virus and it is important that you change your clothes and wash the ones you were wearing immediately after returning home. Immersive cleaning process- It is important to wash the clothes properly in an immersive process like a wet wash with detergent. Just cleaning the surface of the garment is not enough. Warmest possible water setting- The CDC in the UK recommends the temperature of the water to be between 40 to 60 degree Celsius to endure proper disinfection. It is also advisable to use a hard and good quality detergent. Bleach- Use the kind of bleach that is specially manufactured for clothes. You can add a small amount when you wash your clothes for added protection against the infection.
