Anti-Bacterial Fabrics

Traditionally, bacteria and germs have been associated with the Healthcare sector. However, with the increasing incidence of infections on Cruise Liners more and more people are realising that these microbes are not restricted to Hospitals, Nursing Homes and other Healthcare establishments. In fact, they are prevalent in hotels, spas, restaurants, cruise ships and other hospitality areas.

To help combat these issues and reduce the risk of infection, Agua Fabrics have designed all their upholstery ranges to be anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Unlike conventional fabrics that allow bacteria to live and breed, Agua have treated all their ranges so that bacteria are killed immediately on contact. This environmentally friendly treatment never loses strength over time and will last for the life span of the fabric.
