Being able to have different materials and fabrics, Cassiano Marino5àsec textile specialist, explains the cleaning time for each component.

1. Bedding

For bed linen, the recommendation is to change and clean it weekly. These garments are made with lighter fabrics, but since they are in direct contact with our skin, they can accumulate sweat and attract mites, which are harmful to our health.

2. Swimwear

Towels and bathing suits, as well as being in frequent contact with the skin, are objects that get damp with use. Sanitization is essential every week to prevent the proliferation of fungi and bacteria. In addition, the parts should be placed in an airy place after use so that they dry completely and are suitable for new use.

3. Pillows

For cushions the rule changes. The ideal for washing this garment is that it is done every six months and done by a specialized laundry, avoiding mold and the proliferation of funds, in case cleaning and drying have not been carried out correctly.

In addition to periodicity, Marinês recommends: “For complete cleaning of the garments in the kit, take them to a specialized laundry, such as 5àsec. These garments are in direct contact with the human body and good cleaning ensures that the fabric is free from fungi and bacteria, as well as increasing its life, as all the washings are performed following the manufacturer’s instructions for each fabric”.

“I also recommend using the Bactericide service for this type of garment, which cleans and deodorises these types of garments for up to a month, does not cause allergies and does not migrate on the skin, as well as eliminating mites, fungi and bacteria” , concludes the specialist.
