In response to the coronavirus pandemic, hotel brands around the world are announcing new cleaning programmes to reassure guests, ahead of the hospitality industry reawakening.
To support this effort, Vision Support Services presents its More Than Clean linen programme, which addresses those highest touch points in guest rooms; filled goods and bed and bath linen.
For more than two years, Vision has been trialling and testing an innovative antimicrobial technology branded Micro-fresh®, which is added to pillows and duvets at the point of manufacture. The product efficacy has now been tested for the commercial environment, lasting for more than 50 washes, along with ISO 9001: 2008 accreditation, Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified (Classes I, II, III, IV), Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) approval and independently tested by SGS, Aston University and the University of Leicester.
Bed and bath linen which have this effective and long-lasting antimicrobial technology applied have been proven to help protect against the spread of Coronavirus, killing more than 80% than untreated textiles and has up to 99.99% efficacy against harmful pathogens including E-coli, Legionella, Aspergillus, Niger (mould), Odour-Causing Bacteria, Listeria, MRSA, Salmonella.
Furthermore, Micro-Fresh antimicrobial technology eliminates odours, leaving linens smelling fresher for longer and works at low temperature washing. Typically, clinical disinfection means running linens through a laundry process at temperatures over 72.5°C, which is not only expensive but reduces the lifecycle of linens.
There’s no need to worry about skin irritation with the treatment proven to be kind to human skin and free of restricted substances, says the company, adding that the active ingredient is a natural and sustainable material, and better still, is vegan-friendly.
In light of the recent pandemic, Vision believes that bringing More Than Clean to the market is the right thing to do morally, and as such has made the decision to switch all of its filled bed linen production to include the antimicrobial treatment.
More Than Clean is a complete antimicrobial treated textile offering available with immediate effect and at a small percentage increase price label. For more information, please get in touch with Fraser Donaldson, group hospitality and marketing director at Vision.
