NEW Clax® DS Desotherm laundry sanitiser sachet

Serviced apartments, resorts, and backpackers often offer a shared laundry where multiple guests use the machines to wash their clothes.

You may not have considered the washing machine to be an area that can spread disease but some studies suggest we should not overlook this potential threat to our guests’ health.

Faecal matter commonly found on clothing can carry a number of different germs, including hepatitis A virus, norovirus, rotavirus, salmonella and E. coli and some estimates say as a result the average washing machine load contains 100 million E.coli at any one time. Other studies have found bacteria from the skin such as Staphlococus can also be found on clothing and towels and a German study on clothes contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, linked this to skin and urinary tract infections, as well as pneumonia.

This is why it is recommended that we launder at temperatures of at least 60oC to get rid of germs or use a detergent that offers anti-bacterial action.
