What happens with the antimicrobial agents?

Crypton barrier fabric has the guarantee to protect with the silver ions approved by the EPA.

Silver ion antimicrobial protection is a natural component used in cosmetics, medicines, clothes, bed clothes and even more. Why? Because it stops bacteria causing bad odors from growing. This property is permanent and non-lixiviant. This is an additional property for cleaning and protection needed for indoors at present.

Disinfection, sanitizing and daily cleaning of fabrics

Let´s have a closer look to these type of cleaning on fabrics.

Sanitizing versus disinfecting

These words are often used indistinctively but, there are clear differences between them. The US Environmental protection agency (EPA), has specific definitions for each of them. Sanitizing kills bacteria on surfaces using chemicals. It is not intended to kill viruses. However, disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria on surfaces using chemicals.

Fashionable words can be confusing,
Let´s make it simple.

* Sanitizing kills bacteria
* Disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria

Crypton disinfectant and deodorant kills viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

Just disinfectant kills viruses and bacteria.
According to CDC, disinfectant destroy or inactivate viruses, bacteria and fungus.
This means that disinfectants provide a proven higher level of microbial charge than other disinfectants. This also means that disinfectants not just reduce viruses, bacteria and fungus but kill them. Disinfection means deeper cleaning.
Crypton disinfectant and deodorant not just kill COVID-19, but also kills 99.9% of germs and viruses on hard surfaces.

Clean water and soap

Cleaning surfaces with water and soap refers to the removal of germs, dirt and impurities on the surface. It does not kill germs but as it removes them, the number and risk of spread them is reduced.

Clean is good but disinfected is better.

What happens with bleach?

Using bleach includes risks. Why would you?

⦁ Frequent cleaning with bleach can damage fabric and ever harm them.
⦁ Bleach can clean and disinfect but it cannot disinfect soft surfaces. Washable whitener is just that: clean but not disinfected. Do not limit yourself to clean. Disinfect as well!

Read carefully the label of your disinfectant

Label statements make a BIG difference

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) carefully regulates all of the products which confirm to kill organisms. Language and statements made on the label must be supported by detailed scientific datum sent to EPA. These labels regulate usage rates. End users must guarantee compliance of the label as well as comprehension of the meaning of those statements.
