Introducing Viraloff
Does it Help Against All Viruses?
The active ingredient has been tested against Influenza A, BirdFlu, Norovirus and Corona (SARS) over the years, and in all cases, has achieved 99% levels of reduction.
The ISO18184:2019 is a standard test for the determination of the antiviral activity of textile products in a two-hour timespan, where it has to reduce the virus by 99%, to pass. This test uses viruses of the Influenza A strain.
How long does it last?
It is a durable and always-on treatment. For best performance and sustainability, wash less and only when needed.
The Wider Picture
Are There Any Healthcare Claims?
No, we don’t make any health claims.
This is for the protection of the treated product. If, when and how this also is beneficial for the user depends on many other things.
For instance, a face covering will never stop viruses from going through it, but we can ensure viruses don’t live in and on it for long.
Does this mean in any way that we can say or guarantee you stay healthy? Of course not.
Can we say it is a protection for the face covering itself? Yes! And it will make your face covering last longer too.
So Why Viraloff?
