20.500.12556/RUL-154728 Toward sustainable household laundry Washing quality vs. environmental impacts We tested the efficacy of standard soil removal and bacterial reduction from textile. A life cycle analysis for different washing cycles was also performed. The results show that washing at 40 °C and 10 g/L was the most effective and resulted in good removal of standard soiling. However, bacteria reduction was highest at 60 °C, 5 g/L and 40 °C, 20 g/L (> 5 log CFU/carrier). With the 40 °C, 10 g/L scenario, we approached the standard requirements for household laundry of ~ 4 log CFU/carrier reduction and good soil removal. Howsoever, life cycle analysis shows that washing at 40 °C and 10 g/L has a higher environmental impact than 60 °C and 5 g/L due to the significant contribution of the detergent. Reducing energy consumption and reformulation of detergents needs to be implemented in the household laundry to achieve sustainable washing without compromising the quality. household laundry soil removal bacterial reduction washing scenario life cycle assessment true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2024-02-26 11:02:43 2024-02-26 11:02:44 2025-08-08 13:31:19 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1011-1022 no. 2 Vol. 34 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-04-02 613 1369-1619 10.1080/09603123.2023.2194615 149325059 Toward_sustainable_household_laundry._Washing_quality_vs._environmental_impacts.pdf Toward_sustainable_household_laundry._Washing_quality_vs._environmental_impacts.pdf 1 9A843B806AACD5EE86A92CBE31EB1610 c6d800db74ff6195af6f0e9c25f2c03d2859d131f1484fb3b00376423ab5bf0b 701c7788-d48e-11ee-b5a4-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181269 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09603123.2023.2194615 1 3d00c73e-f265-11ee-87dd-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=182402 Zdravstvena fakulteta Naravoslovnotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
