Breakthrough clinical studies have found that Natucair, a Japanese fabric freshener spray brand made to remove odors, kills 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 for up to 24 hours. Earth Corporation, the Japanese household company behind Natucair, recently made an announcement on its viral test conducted by Japan Textile Products Quality and Technology Center (QTEC).
“The viral studies conducted by (QTEC) in Kobe, Japan showed that Natucair Linen and Fabric Spray was effective in killing 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 suspension up to 24 hours on fabric, making it an important product in preventing the spread of the virus not only to loved ones and family within the same household, but to the public” explains Shintaro Noda, in charge of regional marketing of Earth Corporation.
This addresses one potential point of transmission that should not be taken for granted. A study led by microbiologist Dr. Katie Laird ooked into the survival rate of COVID-19 on commonly worn fabrics and found that the virus could survive for up to 3 full days on fabric.
With this in mind, remaining cautious and diligent is paramount for Filipinos nationwide.
Continued adherence to recommended health and safety protocols. Additional steps at home can be taken as well to help prevent the spread to family members. Keeping fabrics in and around the home clear of the virus for up to 24 hours will be a valuable step in avoiding infection.
Noda continues, “Natucair is designed to remove odors and germs on everyday fabrics such as bedsheets, curtains, clothes, car seat covers and even the inner fabric linings of shoes and motorcycle helmets. We highly recommend using Natucair regularly on fabric items in and around the house to keep you protected from SARS-CoV-2.”
Noda believes that Natucair can provide great convenience, safety and comfort that similar products cannot attest to. Natucair is the first fabric freshener spray available in the Philippines that can kill SARS-CoV-2 on linen and fabric for up to 24 hours. As such, Natucair is an essential item in every household especially in these difficult times.
