Save a lot of money and waste with washable coveralls and hairnets

Are there washable alternatives to disposable coveralls and hairnets

In greenhouse farming, hygiene and crop protection play an increasingly important role. We wrote about it earlier in our blog Periodic process checks by CCD. Apart from the regular company clothing for the employees, many disposable materials were used there, while increasingly professional washing machines with special washing processes for the demonstrable disinfection of clothing were in house. Therefore, lightweight and durable overalls and visitor coats have now been developed as alternatives to disposable clothing. These washable alternatives are much more comfortable to wear, wear resistant, airy and completely customizable. This ensures a professional appearance of the protective clothing, which can be comfortably worn by visitors and externals even in warm places. Because they have been successfully used in various companies for some time now, we can confidently state that they are excellent alternatives to disposable materials. In the meantime, washable alternatives to hairnets have also been developed. A major advantage of this coverall is that it can be washed up to 500 times on a virus-free wash cycle. This makes it not only durable, but also extremely hygienic in use – an important aspect in sectors where viruses should not have a chance.

The role of the washing process

With the right washing machines and dryers, washable coveralls and hairnets can be reused many times, without requiring unnecessary energy and temperature. Because hygiene has to be guaranteed, demonstrable disinfection during the washing process plays a crucial role. Professional equipment and automatic dosing of detergents are therefore strongly recommended. In addition, it is important to have the technical condition of the equipment checked regularly. This is often done by the supplier. Disinfection during the washing process can be easily and regularly checked by yourself with the DES controller, without the need for a technician or specialist to come to your location.

A proven solution for controlling disinfection

Around the world, industrial laundromats in the healthcare, food and pharmaceutical industries have relied on the DES controller for years to monitor disinfection in their laundry processes. The DES controller is an advanced bio-indicator that allows you to easily determine how effectively a textile washing process kills off bacteria. The special bacteria in the DES controller are protected by a semi-permeable membrane that protects you and prevents the test bacteria from being washed away. You receive the DES controller periodically in the mail, so you know it’s time to check your laundry process again. After you have washed the DES controller with your coveralls or hairnets, return it directly to our laboratory. We then do an analysis, after which you receive a clear report by e-mail stating whether your washing process disinfects sufficiently.

Prevent viruses and save costs

You want to prevent a virus within your company at all times. That’s why there is often a significant investment in protective jackets and hairnets.
