In hospitals, safety is not just a standard—it’s a necessity. With every patient interaction, every surface touched, and every shift completed, healthcare professionals face constant exposure to harmful microbes. At ClothMeds, we’re on a mission to change that—naturally and sustainably.

Why Durability Matters in Antimicrobial Clothing

Many antimicrobial uniforms in the market lose their protective properties after a few washes. Synthetic coatings often degrade quickly, posing risks for healthcare workers who rely on them daily.

At ClothMeds, we’ve engineered a plant-based antimicrobial coating that doesn’t just work—it lasts. Our research and testing prove that our fabrics maintain high levels of antimicrobial activity even after 30 industrial washes.

The Science Behind Our Coating

Our antimicrobial finish is made from a proprietary blend of herbal bio-actives, extracted from plants known for their germ-fighting properties. These include:

Neem (Azadirachta indica):

• Broad-spectrum antimicrobial – effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
• Contains active compounds like azadirachtin and nimbidin.
• Naturally disinfects and protects fabric surfaces.
• Traditionally used in Ayurveda for skin and wound healing.

Tulsi (Holy Basil / Ocimum sanctum)

• Antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal action.
• Rich in eugenol and ursolic acid.
• Enhances skin immunity and reduces microbial colonization.
• Offers a refreshing herbal scent and skin-safe application.

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller)

• Soothes and moisturizes skin, ideal for long wear.
• Mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Supports skin barrier function during extended use.
• Gentle on sensitive skin – perfect for healthcare workers.

Turmeric Extract (Curcuma longa)

• Contains curcumin – a powerful antibacterial and antioxidant.
• Fights bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus.
• Promotes skin health and protects against microbial build-up.
• Gives a natural yellowish tint when used in formulations.

These ingredients are gently extracted and processed, then permanently bonded to the fabric using a non-toxic, wash-durable binder. The result? A natural, breathable, long-lasting antimicrobial shield that stays active even after repeated washes.

Tested for 30 Wash Cycles (And Beyond!)

• We conducted lab tests under ISO 20743 standards, where our fabrics were subjected to multiple industrial laundry cycles at 60°C. The results? Over 95% bacterial reduction (including E. coli and S. aureus) even after 30 washes.
• Fabric retained colour, softness, and antimicrobial activity.
• No synthetic chemicals, no skin irritation.
• This isn’t just lab data—it’s real-world durability, validated by hospitals during pilot runs. 

How Our R&D Team Made This Possible

Our in-house R&D team in Tamil Nadu works with microbiologists, herbal scientists, and textile engineers to continuously improve formulation and application methods. Our goals:

• Maximize germ-kill rate naturally.
• Ensure long-term bonding on cotton and poly-cotton blends.
• Keep the finish breathable, soft, and skin-safe.
• This blend of traditional herbal science and modern textile tech is what sets ClothMeds apart. 

Beyond Efficacy: Sustainability and Safety

Unlike synthetic antimicrobial agents like silver, triclosan, or zinc oxide, our coating is:

• Biodegradable
• Non-toxic
• Safe for sensitive skin
• Eco-friendly throughout its lifecycle 

This makes ClothMeds uniforms not only safer for medical staff—but also for the planet.

Conclusion 

Antimicrobial clothing shouldn’t fade with every wash. At ClothMeds, 30 washes is just the beginning. We’re proving that natural solutions can be powerful, durable, and sustainable—all at once.

Choose healthcare wear that protects, lasts, and cares—just like you do.
