Spores are by their nature very resilient organisms and can pose serious issues for hygiene critical environments. A recent project at Germany’s Hohenstein Institute has researched efficient disinfection methods for spore contaminated processing water in commercial laundries
Among the most common microbiological contaminations in commercial laundries are bacteria types that turn into permanent forms, so-called spores, under life-threatening conditions. These endospores formed by the bacteria are extremely resistant, for example, to hot and cold temperatures, or to drying out. This high chemical and thermal resistance means that spores are not safely inactivated or killed during disinfecting washing processes.
