Jeanologia’s latest machine can sanitize clothing
Technology provider Jeanologia has developed a machine which can help sanitize textiles, apparel, workwear and footwear using the ozone technology associated with denim processing.

Sanibox has a 98% sanitization level, and is certified by CSIC, the Spanish National Research Council. 

Using this sanitization box, Jeanologia disinfects in a fast and safe way, guaranteeing a level of safety that allows the use of the product without risk to health since it eliminates the bacteria and deactivates the virus. Otherwise this could only be achieved if the garments were put in quarantine for a minimum of 72 hours, or if they were washed at 60ºC (140ºF) each time. 

Enrique Silla, Jeanologia’s founder, said: "We have launched a product that will contribute to accelerating the recovery and generating consumer confidence, sanitization and sustainability will be the keys to the recovery of our industry. 

"From the first moment we have studied the needs of the consumer after the coronavirus and of the textile industry in the short term and we set out to create a new technology for their future needs, putting people and the planet first.”

The company has gained experience in recent months working on disinfecting face protection masks in Spain.

"Consumers will not buy again if they do not feel safe," said Silla. “Therefore, we must unite all the parties involved in the industry to protect workers and consumers throughout the different stages of the production process by using sanitisation.”
