This pandemic has made us more conscious about keeping everything clean & sanitary. Everything that comes into our homes need to be disinfected!
We also find ourselves doing our laundry more frequently, and making sure that all our clothes, bedding, towels, etc… need to be thoroughly cleaned, especially if they have been in contact with the outside.
Beko, Europe’s leading home appliance brand, has developed Hygiene Shield, a line of household products that was created in response to our “new normal”.
HYGIENE SHIELD
The new product line currently includes seven appliances with built-in disinfection programs! The Hygiene Shield products have the power to kill more than 99% of bacteria and viruses, including coronavirus, giving consumers an extra layer of protection at home.
According to Beko’s consumer research, one of the primary concerns consumers have is hygiene. It is now standard for us to disinfect anything that comes into the home – supermarket purchases, online shopping packages, even mail and other paper. I have even switched to using cloth bags every time I go out so that I can put the bag in the laundry as soon as I get home. Also standard practice now is to take a thorough shower whenever we come home from outside. Obviously, we have been doing more laundry, more frequently.
The line takes inspiration from nature and uses methods such as steam and heat to enable consumers to achieve excellent hygiene results at home.
7 Products to Help Heighten Your Hygiene Experience at Home
1. UV cleaning cabinet
Coronavirus can survive for five days on smooth surfaces so the cabinet uses UV light technology to clean items that you have used outside the home or are concerned about. Keys, phones, wallets, packaged goods from supermarkets, plastic bags, baby bottles and toys can all be safely cleaned in 20-40-minute cycle with no damage to objects. This clever portable device can live anywhere in the home and its touch display makes it as easy to use.
2. Combi refrigerator with disinfection drawer
Oh, wow, a refrigerator with its own disinfection drawer? This means I don’t have to meticulously wipe each and every item from the supermarket with alcohol!
The refrigerator disinfects food items in their original and sealed packaging, eliminating more than 99% of bacteria and viruses in approximately 40 minutes. Instead of wiping down each item you bring home from the supermarket, or storing them in a safe place for several days, this refrigerator does it for you. Its separate disinfection drawer above the crisper eliminates viruses, bacteria and germs using UV light technology distributed over the compartment.
3. Tumble dryer with UV light technology
It isn’t practical to wash your clothes every day, or to wash some styles of clothes in high temperatures but we still want to feel certain that our clothes are hygienic.
The tumble dryer eliminates bacteria and viruses and provides disinfection for your laundry in a safe and convenient way. The UV Hygienic Refresh program refreshes up to six dry pieces of clothing. Moreover, the UV Hygienic Drying program dries and sanitizes up to 5 kg of washed laundry even clothes that need washing at low temperatures.
4.& 5. HygieneShield washing machine and washer dryer
In an effort to make sure that the coronavirus doesn’t survive on our clothes, people are washing their clothes for longer at higher temperatures. This can get expensive, isn’t sustainable and risks damaging our favorite clothes.
With a smart algorithm, an additional heater channel and fan system, the hygiene therapy program fills the drum with hot air to keep the laundry at 60°C to thoroughly sanitize your clothes without water. More than 99% of viruses and bacteria are eliminated from 2 kg of clothes in 58 minutes, saving your money and the planet from the use of chemicals and extra water.
6. Built-in oven with saturated steam and heat
This oven doesn’t just cook your food, but disinfects it too. Using the exceptional disinfecting power of saturated steam and heat there are two separate disinfection programs available with this appliance, both involving heat and steam, working at 70°C and 120°C respectively. Use of the oven at 70°C for 15 minutes will disinfect the surfaces of packaged food and make the outside of baked goods more hygienic, without affecting their taste and structure. Use of the oven at 120°C for 20 minutes will disinfect items like metal bowls and glass products.
7. Hygiene Shield dishwasher
Most of us are choosing to stay home and are avoiding risk of exposure by cooking more frequently at home instead of dining out. The dishes can pile up. For extra hygienic results, this machine has a hygiene function with steam and additional hot rinsing functions.
