Jeanologia sanitisation tech to eliminate coronavirus from textiles

Jeanologia, world leader in sustainable and efficient technology development, presents “Sanibox”, the only sanitisation technology on the market certified to eliminate the coronavirus from textiles, apparel, workwear, and footwear.

“Sanibox” has a 98 per cent sanitisation level, is certified by CSIC, (Spanish National Research Council the largest public research institution in Spain and the third largest in Europe.) complies with AFNOR NFT 72-281. Using this sanitisation box, Jeanologia disinfects in a fast and safe way, guaranteeing a level of safety that allows the use of the product without risk to health since it eliminates the bacteria and deactivates the virus. Otherwise this could only be achieved if the garments were put in quarantine for a minimum of 72 hours, or if they were washed at 60 degree Celsius each time. This innovative technological solution for sanitisation also protects the colors, materials and feel of the garment and does so sustainably, without using water or chemicals.

Enrique Silla, Jeanologia’s founder, highlighted that “we have launched a product that will contribute to accelerating the recovery and generating consumer confidence, sanitisation and sustainability will be the keys to the recovery of our industry.”

“From the first moment we have studied the needs of the consumer after the coronavirus and of the textile industry in the short term and we set out to create a new technology for their future needs, putting people and the planet first.”

The company has managed to launch Sanibox in record time as it already had the technology and know-how, combining over 15 years producing ozone with the experience gained in recent months working on disinfecting face protection masks in Spain.

“Consumers will not buy again if they do not feel safe,” said Silla. Therefore, “we must unite all the parties involved in the industry to protect workers and consumers throughout the different stages of the production process by using sanitisation”, he concluded.

Sanibox: The science of sanitisation
The company has developed this technological solution through a serious, rigorous and accredited study following the established regulations. The technological combination of dehumidification plus advanced oxidation makes it possible to sanitise garments at the required safety level, making Sanibox the perfect system for deactivating viruses.

Jeanologia is launching a range of Sanibox products for textiles, apparel, footwear and workwear, offering different products depending on needs: from shops for sanitizing garments after leaving the fitting room or returned garments; to distribution centers to ensure that garments are sanitised before they reach the shop or are sent online to individuals; to staff uniforms before use.
