As part of the new research, the scientists also looked at what was the “most reliable wash method for removing the virus”.
Using 100% cotton, the most commonly used healthcare textile, the team carried out a number of tests using different water temperatures and washing methods, including domestic machines, industrial machines, those on hospital premises and an ozone wash system.
The results showed that the agitation and dilution effect of the water in all of the washing machines tested was enough to remove the virus, the team said.
