Hello all,
Has anyone considered parameters for washing of working clothing? Are there any recommendations about the temperature and the duration of the washing to provide a microbiological kill step?
If anyone run some tests on this topic, please share the results.
Regards,
Constantine
Hi Constantine,
This topic has been discussed here a few times. Expectations may relate to Location.
IIRC the typical minimum temperature in a (hot) washing machine is, perhaps not surprisingly, ca 70degC but I recall higher figures have been quoted for practical units up to ca. 80degC.
Associated Cycle Times have also been given from memory plus at least one Standard (Germany) had associated micro limits for the washed/dried output.
Unfortunately offhand i don't recall the specific threads. Maybe search "washing machine"
