Silver in the bed linen? Isn't silver just worn as jewelry? No! Silver can do a lot more than you think and especially helps those who are allergic to house dust mites to breathe deeply! Let's start from the beginning.
Silver and its history
The antibacterial and germicidal effects of silver and silver ions have been known for many centuries. It is used primarily in the medical and cosmetic sectors, as well as in the textile industry. As different as the possible uses are, so is the form in which it is used. While nanotechnology is finding its way into many parts of the textile industry, and different materials are "equipped" with silver, there are only a few manufacturers who use silver in the form of silver instead Weave galvanized silver polyamide threads into textiles.How silver works
Silver ions are formed on the surface of silver and have a three-fold destructive effect on the cell structure of bacteria and germs: They destroy their cell membrane, prevent the replication of DNA and inactivate cellular enzymes. In summary, silver kills bacteria and germs and also prevents them from multiplying.Silver polyamide threads in textiles
Silver is used in many textiles that come into direct contact with the skin - socks, underwear and sports T-shirts, for example - due to its germicidal and antibacterial effects. Why? Sweat as such is odorless. It is the bacteria that reside on the skin that are responsible for the development of bad smells. So: no bacteria = no bad smell.
Silver in bedding? Allergy sufferers can breathe easy again!
Silver has another application in bedding. Duvets as such have no direct contact with the skin due to the fact that they are covered with bed linen. However, when we sleep, we not only release moisture, but also tiny flakes of skin, which then nestle in bed linen and duvets - the source of food for house dust mites.Due to its germicidal effect, silver not only prevents the development of unpleasant odors, but above all prevents unwanted tenants from settling in. A treat for everyone – especially for allergy sufferers!
