1. Introduction: Time phases & what can a trade association do?
17. Hygiene was predicted to be a (future) market driver already in 2015 due to
growing & ageing population, increased mobility and urbanization
by the Washing Board of Excellence
19. Take this crisis to educate society about hygienically
clean laundry (case: Cleanlease / Lips in NL)
Case: free publicity on national TV
20. Corona & increased importance of hygiene
Rapid urbanization & growth of global travel resulted in Corona
becoming a pandemic capable of stopping economies

23. Turnover restores in 2022, impact until 2023 | Economy class hotels hit less hard & recover faster
24. “We need supportive hygienic solutions to showcase guests they can have
a ‘safe daily schedule’ while staying with us. That restores turnover”
Alco van Berkel, CEO of multiple hotels & restaurants
26. Global demand for
disposable healthcare linen
set to rise 6% per year
Industrial laundries should
fight this development!
27. E-commerce development (based on Dutch market)
Online turnover increased 62,4% in April
TNO Research concludes:
• Less risk, customer can stay at home
• Buying behavior; people want control
• People spend money on their homes
• Long term: 1.5m economy causes a
push to online

• Airsocks are often
used as filter (by
accident)
• That’s how bacteria
can easily grow
57. Want to get rid of nasty smells?
Install Fragrance dispensers!
63. ‘We have registered our hygiene guarantee as warranty mark… …we try to

4. Textile types and cleaning processes
5. Hygienic cleaning processes
Content:
79. In textile service, we are used to remove spots and stains and
fresh up garments and other textile products.
We know what to do and we are good at it!
Now, customers demand hygienically clean laundry.
And all kinds of new question pop up:
- What is hygienically clean?
- What is a hygienic cleaning process?
- How can we guarantee hygienically clean garments, as
hygienically clean is not visible?
Introduction, the Global Hygiene Standard
80. CINET now introduces a Hygiene Reference Guide to:
1) enable the professional textile service supplier to answer
these questions and
2) inform him/her how to deliver hygienically clean laundry in
line with globally accepted reference values
Introduction, the Global Hygiene Standard
81. What is hygienically clean laundry?
Hygienically clean is that no or only a limited number of bacteria
(most guidelines focus on bacteria) are present on the garments
and laundry after cleaning.
These guidelines vary from country to country, as shown in the
next sheets. The guidelines describe the maximum number of
bacteria (expressed in c.f.u.) allowed per surface area of the
product after cleaning.
So, hygienically clean is not the same as sterile (= no bacteria)!

83. What is a hygienic cleaning process?
A hygienic cleaning process is a cleaning process that guarantees
that the laundry - cleaned according to this process - meets all
hygienic demands.
Another frequently used definition is lethality or log reduction of
at least log 6. What does that mean?
A log reduction of 6 means that 999.999 out of 1.000.000 million
bacteria are deactivated in the cleaning process!
Hygiene demands, an introduction?
84. The German Robert Koch Institute has additionally formulated
demands for hygienic virucidal processes, which are tested in a
laboratory set-up (EN14476):
1) Limited virucidal, minimum log 4 reduction for enveloped
viruses (as Covid-19) only
2) Virucidal, minimum log 4 reduction for enveloped and non-
enveloped viruses
Complex testing method, can not be performed outside
dedicated and sophisticated laboratories
Hygiene demands, an introduction?
85. Hygiene demands:
a) Hygienically clean laundry:
Total germ count : ≤ 2 CFU/cm2
Entero –bacteriaceae : 0 CFU/cm2
Staphylococcus Aureus : 0 CFU/cm2
b) Hygienic cleaning process
Lethality / log reduction : ≥ 6
The Global Hygiene Reference
86. Hygienic cleaning processes
The COVID 19 virus can be destroyed in laundry
processes – like most other enveloped viruses -
by thermal disinfection or by chemo-thermal
disinfection
Thermal disinfection standards for laundry can
vary greatly from one country to the other
87. THERMAL DISINFECTION
A commonly used method is
the time-temperature
relationship
The time that the linen is
washed at a specific
temperature for x minutes

88. The WHO guideline for COVID demands a
process of 25 minutes at 70˚ C.
Note: But calculations show that it is
economical to carry out shorter processes at
higher temperatures
Hygienic cleaning processes
89. Some textiles can’t be washed at high temperatures – like
required in thermal disinfection – of 7090˚C
Disinfection at lower wash temperatures can be achieved by
dosing a disinfecting agent in the wash process
So the answer for lower temperature washing is:
Chemo–thermal disinfection
Hygienic cleaning processes
90. Disinfection can be assured IF the wash processes applied and the
final level of product hygiene are in line with national regulations
and internationally agreed standards and procedures, e.g.
Cerclean.
Proper documentation, validation and monitoring of process and
product quality is required to enable a guaranteed level of
hygiene
Note: Most of the hygienic processes are based on applying
Per Acetic Acid containing products (which could affect
garment quality!)
91. * Process conditions according to regulations and/or as prescribed by the supplier
Hygienic cleaning processes
Thermal disinfection Chemothermal disifection* Disinfectant*
Laundry Yes,
25 minutes at 70 °C,
10 minutes at 80 °C
Yes
Combination of lower temperature
and a disinfectant e.g. peracetic acid
92. Wash parameters of processes that deactivate
Bacteria and Viruses have to be exactly followed:
• Time and temperature
• This defined temperature to be present during the
full main wash time
• Concentration of the detergent and disinfecting
bleach
• Bath level

107. Corona & increased importance of hygiene
Corona is a direct consequence of human activity:
• Deforestation
• expansion of agriculture
• Intensive farming, mining and infra development
• Exploitation of wild species
Dr. Peter Daszak – IPBES
(Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services)
108. Measures to take:
1. Enforce environmental regulations
2. Adopt a ‘One Health’ policy globally
3. Fund health systems and incentivise behaviour
change on the frontline of pandemic risk
“These cost (tens of billion $) are significantly lower than the
cost of responsive measures of one pandemic (trillions of $)”
