* Investigation WL 2232/20 by wfk – Institut für Angewandte Forschung GmbH,
6 different types of textiles, 3 types of odours, n=270
**Effectiveness against bacteria (e. g. Staphylococci incl. MRSA and VRSA, Streptococci, Enterococci incl. VRE, E. coli bacteria incl. EHEC, EPEC, ETEC, EIEC, EAEC, ESBL/MRGN, DAEC) and viruses (e. g. vaccinia virus, HBV, HCV, HIV, influenza H5N1, H1N1, herpes, measles, rabies) confirmed by the independent institute HygCen Germany, according to test [2021-2948, 2021-2949; SN 32436] and test [2021-2827, 2021-2828; SN 32436] commissioned by BSH Hausgeräte GmbH. Up to 99.9% reduction of bacteria and viruses after 1 minute of application with the FreshUp on silk and after 5 min on cotton. Test organisms to prove efficacy: E. coli and S. aureus, Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA).
***The destruction of bacteria and virus is based on the direct impact of the micro lightning bolts. The energy is transferred onto the outer body and local disruption leads to inactivation. Therefore this effect is based on a physical principle.
