Fabric Improvements Slice Housekeeping Labor Costs


Standard Textile Co. introduces Wipeable and Spot Cleanable Decorative Products including; Cubicle Curtains, Draperies, Shower Curtains and Bedspreads.

IMPACT is our newest patented technology, which is a unique combination of enhancement technology and performance engineering - designed to save you time and money.

IMPACT fabrics combine splash and stain resistance, with bacterial and flame resistance, resulting in a start of the art textile that is beautiful, soft, drapeable, launderable and useable in every application where we are currently using drapery and cubicle curtain fabrics. IMPACT is softer and more versatile with four definable attributes embedded into the fibers giving the fabric superior usage characteristics;
  • Stain Resistance
  • Splash Resistance
  • Bacterial Resistance
  • Flame Resistance
How does IMPACT save you money? IMPACT has a defined life cycle of a year longer than similar products made with fabrics that are not IMPACT engineered. IMPACT fabrics are wipeable and spot cleanable and do not encourage bacterial build up. Because IMPACT fabrics protect against staining, housekeeping routines can be modified. This translates into maintenance, laundry and timesavings. Housekeeping can spot clean on a daily basis and eliminate the need to take down cubicle curtains in mass, send them to the laundry and then schedule to have them re-hung. The same holds true for drapery and shower curtain cleaning. In addition, IMPACT dries to the touch in 15 minutes and is totally dry within an hour. Labor savings can be substantial!
