Easy-to-clean and bacteria-fighting materials and finishes have been increasingly sought-after in the past few years, and the trend only accelerated in 2020. Fabrics that accept bleach solution can be disinfected without worry of weakening fibers or altering color, while antimicrobial options kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, inherently protecting the material’s appearance or performance from bacteria, viruses, or fungi. These textiles are great options for providing tactile comfort while keeping spaces as clean as possible.
