Harvard Health has stated that there is no evidence the COVID -19 can be transmitted from clothes to humans. The CDC has stated that the seasonal flu is killed at temperatures over 167 degrees. According to CDC (Center for Disease Control) The antimicrobial action of the laundering process results from a combination of mechanical, thermal, and chemical factors. Dilution and agitation in water remove substantial quantities of microorganisms. Soaps and detergents function to suspend soils and also exhibit some microbiocidal properties. Hot water provides an effective means of destroying microorganisms. A temperature of at least 160°F (71°C) for a minimum of 25 minutes is commonly recommended for hot-water washing. Regardless of whether hot or cold water is used for washing, the temperatures reached in drying and ESPECIALLY DURING IRONING provide additional significant microbiocidal action. Dryer temperatures and cycle times are dictated by the materials in the fabrics.
