Design-Driven Textiles Crafted for High Performance

In today’s unprecedented time, we understand there are new challenges for hygiene and safety in the workplace. Luum’s goal is to provide information on our products to help you educate your clients on the safest and most effective ways to care for textiles.

As such, Luum does not promote the use of topical antimicrobial finishes as these products do not kill the COVID-19 virus. They are only intended to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microbes. Antimicrobial finishes can be harmful to human health and the environment alike.

We encourage prevention and perspective while maintaining a healthy workplace. Cleaners such as soap and water in conjunction with household disinfectants like bleach can be effective against the spread of viruses. Maintain perspective and clean "high touch" surfaces first.

Cleaners
Cleaning products remove germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces using soap (or detergent) and water. Cleaning does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and therefore the risk of spreading infection.

Disinfectants
As per the CDC, "Disinfectants kill germs on surfaces. By killing germs on a surface after cleaning, you can further lower the risk of spreading infection. EPA-approved disinfectants are an important part of reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19". Further information regarding cleaners and disinfectants can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Health Canada websites.

Many of Luum’s 30+ bleach and/or viricide cleanable textiles are made for vertical and upholstery application and feature plush piles and textural dimension, which can be utilized in a variety of settings with assurance of performance. 

Each fabric has unique cleaning and care instructions. For more information please refer to the Luum website filters and resources page at luumtextiles.com. For further questions or assistance identifying textiles, contact Luum Customer Service at 1-877-705-5886 or email us here. For textile applications on products please refer to manufacturers' approvals.

Antimicrobial

According to the Association of Contract Textiles, an antimicrobial finish is a chemical treatment applied to a fabric to combat growth of disease-causing microbes, general bacteria, infectious diseases and various targeted organisms.

An anti-microbial finish on a textile inhibits the growth of bacteria but does not kill it. Antimicrobials also do not inhibit or kill the growth of viruses.

Antimicrobial products used on textiles are regulated by the EPA as pesticides. Luum promotes healthy environment, and as such, we do not promote the use of topical antimicrobial finishes.

Silicone, by it's nature, does not support microbiological growth. Silicone is easily cleanable with soap and water,is bleach cleanable and can also be disinfected with healthcare grade swipes and sprays. Please see "Care of Silicone Upholstery" on our website.
