Dear All,

The issue of low temperatures wash 20 degree celsius is addresed in The New South Wales Hospitals Planning Advisory Centre. Report on Research into Proposed Low Temperature Water Washing in Hospital Laundries in New South Wales. Sydney: Author. (1988).

However, the aferosaid reference was prepare in 1988, and with reference to AS 4146, laundry practices, which states: “NOTE: Although some investigations into laundering at low temperatures and chemical disinfection have been carried out, investigations into the ability of such processes to kill viruses have been limited. Examples of methods of indicating effectiveness include an aerobic bacterial plate count of less than 1 microorganism/cm2 by the contact plate method*, and publication of a refereed paper. ”

Hence, we would like to know, whether we have low temperatures laundry washing formula, if so would you please share with me.
