Textile
To use less energy and save money, today we tend to reduce the amount of laundry and wash it at low temperature. But laundry washed at 30°C would contain only 10 times less micro-organisms than before washing, as opposed to 500 times less when washing at 40°C (source Institut Pasteur). Microbial risks and bad smells caused by bacterial fermentation also persist. The surviving micro-organisms will then be able to multiply in the machine drum, and will be ready to settle on any dry or wet textiles that come into contact with them.
Microbes also nest easily in textile fibres. A single piece of cloth can contain more than 1,000,005 germs per square centimetre after being worn for one day. But some cloths become more contaminated with germs than others.

UNDERWEAR
Lingerie, briefs, socks, pyjamas … to preserve intimate hygiene and protect against the risk of infections, it is recommended to wash and disinfect your underwear. But it is not always easy when it comes to delicate lingerie or synthetic fibres that cannot be washed at over 30°C!
The solution: use SANYTOL Disinfectant Detergent or Laundry Disinfectant. They eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and candida albicans from 20 ° C.
Follow the washing instructions on the labels.
SPORTS CLOTHES
Socks, shorts, t-shirts… sports clothes often trap the smell of sweat and dirt. But synthetic and technical fibres rarely withstand washing at more than 30°C, which means that the stains and bacteria responsible for bad smells are not eliminated.
To avoid this, ideally wash your clothes straight after the session, separately from the rest of your wash. Place them in the washing machine with SANYTOL Disinfectant Detergent or Laundry Disinfectant. They eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and fungi responsible for bad smells as of 20°C.
If they are dirty with mud, dirt or grass then use a stain remover such as SANYTOL Disinfectant Stain Remover. In addition to fighting stains, it eliminates 99.9% of bacteria leaving laundry perfectly clean, disinfected and scented. To do this, add 2 spoonfuls of product to the machine.
