Guilford of Maine bleach-cleanable fabrics for upholstery and acoustic panels offer you a safer work environment while keeping its soft touch and beautiful color. 

Bleach is an effective disinfectant, which means it kills most bacteria, fungi and viruses. When fabrics need to be disinfected or sterilized,use a 1:10 household bleach-to-water solution.

Microbes, bacteria or microorganisms, exist in the workplace, like in any other environment. Earth contains hundreds of trillions of microorganisms, which makes them the most prolific type of living creature, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Some of the most common microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi and certain kinds of algae. Health promotion or wellness programs have been shown to be effective at reducing absenteeism, health costs, workers' compensation claims and turnover but they often fail to address infectious diseases.
