Virucidal Efficacy of Laundering

Abstract: Viruses contribute significantly to the burden of infectious diseases worldwide. Although there are multiple infection routes associated with viruses, it is important to break the chain of infection and thus consider all possible transmission routes. Consequently, laundering can be a means to eliminate viruses from textiles, in clinical settings well as for domestic laundry procedures. Several factors influence the survival and inactivation of microorganisms, including viruses on hard surfaces and textiles. Th… Show more

“…This practice is useful for the prevention of viral illnesses in community settings and households [12,13]. As previously mentioned, non-enveloped viruses are more resistant to chemical agents [7,9,10]. However, among these viruses, Poliovirus is much more resistant than the others: it is used as a reference virus in the European standard EN 14476 (see above).…”

“…These kinds of viruses have "limited" survival outside host environments and are easily inactivated by various physical (e.g., heat, light) and chemical agents (e.g., detergents) [6]. In contrast, non-enveloped viruses (e.g., poliovirus and norovirus) show much higher resistance [7]. Consequently, enveloped viruses are more susceptible to chemical agents than non-enveloped viruses [8].…”
