SilvaClean
Continuous Antimicrobial Treatment
SilvaClean addresses a layer of infection prevention that is not currently addressed – soft surface contamination during use. SilvaClean infuses your linens with the antimicrobialpower of silver, right in the laundry rinse cycle, and empowers soft surfaces to continuously kill pathogens that come in contact with them while they are being handled, stored, transported, or used. SilvaClean holds the first ever public health claim for a residual laundry additive to reduce post-laundry contamination.
Continuous Efficacy
55% of clean linens are contaminated before coming into contact with patients. SilvaClean transforms linens & soft surfaces, into active antimicrobials that are efficacious through their use cycle- killing pathogens that come into contact with them while they are being handled, stored, transported, and used.
Easy to Adopt
Upgrading to SilvaClean treated linens is easy. There is no need for additional staff training or a change to your current linen inventory. If laundry is handled by a third party, we can work with your provider to add this service.
Defeats Stain & Odor
SilvaClean active antimicrobial action reduces the amount of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the fabrics, protecting them and extending the life of use. Keep your facility smelling clean!
Cleaner Environment
The continuous antimicrobial properties of SilvaClean reduces bioburden, creating a cleaner environment that protects both patients and staff.
Improving Patient Safety Through Soft Surface Antimicrobial Treatment
SilvaClean antimicrobial textile treatment is a transformational, first-ever EPA-approved residual laundry additive that can be recommended as a helpful addition to an infection control program. With demonstrated residual antimicrobial activity against two major microorganisms (SilvaClean will kill 99.9% of S. aureus after 6 hours of contact and 99.9% of K. pneumoniae after 3 hours of contact with SilvaClean-treated fabric), SilvaClean provides a unique and inexpensive antimicrobial intervention for soft surfaces.
