[0038] The a in the present disclosure may be 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5, etc.

[0039] The b in the present disclosure may be 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, etc.

[0040] The c described in the present disclosure may be 85, 85.1, 86, 86.5, 87, 89.7, 94.6, 95, 96.2, 99.6, 96.7, 96.9, 96.97, 96.99, 97, 98, 99.2, 99.7, 99.9, 99.97, 99.99, etc.

[0041] In the specific embodiments of the above-mentioned clothing treatment method, the bacteriostatic agent is a cationic bactericide; preferably, the cationic bactericide includes one or more of cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine, chlorhexidine gluconate, chlorhexidine acetate, polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride, didodecyldimethylammonium chloride, dicetyldimethylammonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, and benzalkonium bromide; and / or

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0099] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can also be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0100] Viruses are ubiquitous in life, and many viruses harmful to the human body attach to clothes and can survive on clothes for a long time. The viruses attached to clothes may enter the human body through the mouth and nose; they will also attach to the human skin by means of contact. Viruses harmful to the human body will damage physical health.

[0101] To solve the above technical problems, as Figure 1 shown, this embodiment discloses a clothing treatment device, which includes a controller configured to execute a clothing treatment method for making clothes have anti-virus ability. Among them, the clothing treatment method mainly includes the following steps:

[0102] S001. Execute the clothing treatment program;

[0103] S002. Add an anti-virus treatment agent to the clothes.

[0104] Specifically, during the execution of the clothing treatment program, an anti-virus treatment agent is added to the clothes, so that during the wearing process after the clothing treatment is completed, the anti-virus treatment agent can kill viruses or form a barrier to the human body, avoiding or reducing the harm of viruses to the human body, and thus making the clothes have anti-virus ability.

[0105] Although in this embodiment, the antiviral treatment agent is added during the execution of the laundry treatment program, without departing from the principle of the present invention, in other embodiments, the antiviral treatment agent can be added to the laundry before the execution of the laundry treatment program, and then the laundry treatment is carried out. The specific laundry treatment program can be a drying program or a laundry care program of a wardrobe. Or, the antiviral treatment agent can be added to the laundry before the execution of the laundry treatment program, and then the laundry treatment is carried out, and the antiviral treatment agent is added to the laundry again during the laundry treatment process. The specific laundry treatment program can be a drying program or a laundry care program of a wardrobe. These do not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0106] The virus in the present invention is not the virus in the narrow sense in biology. Specifically, it refers to bacteria, fungi, viruses and microorganisms; the antiviral treatment agent in the present invention can kill the above-mentioned organisms.

[0107] The antiviral treatment agent can be either a chemical agent, a biological agent, or a mixture of a chemical agent and a biological agent; as long as it can be dissolved in water or in a spray form; it also needs to be able to remain on the laundry for a long time, specifically set to remain at least 10% in the laundry within 3 to 7 days after the laundry treatment is completed; that is, the antiviral treatment agent is not easily volatile at room temperature. Moreover, the antiviral treatment agent also needs to be non-toxic and harmless to the human body to avoid damage to the human body caused by the laundry treated with the antiviral treatment agent.

[0108] During the execution of the laundry treatment program, the antiviral treatment agent is added to the laundry so that during the wearing process after the laundry treatment is completed, the antiviral treatment agent can kill the virus or form a barrier to the human body, avoiding or reducing the harm of the virus to the human body, and thus enabling the laundry to have antiviral ability.

[0109] The following will describe the laundry treatment method with four embodiments.

[0110] Embodiment 1

[0111] Wherein the care program is a care program of a dryer or a washer-dryer, and the laundry treatment method further includes:

[0112] While adding the antiviral treatment agent to the laundry care cavity in the form of a spray, control the rotation of the inner drum of the dryer or the washer-dryer. The rotation of the inner drum can make the laundry turn, so that the antiviral treatment agent can be sprayed onto all positions of the laundry, that is, all positions of the laundry can be evenly covered with the antiviral treatment agent.

[0113] Regarding the rotation of the inner drum of the dryer or the washer-dryer, it should be noted that although the inner drum rotates while spraying in this embodiment, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, in other embodiments, it is also possible to choose to rotate the inner drum after the spraying is completed. The rotation of the inner drum can make the various positions of the clothes contact each other, make the positions with more antiviral treatment agent contact with other positions of the clothes, and make other positions of the clothes also contaminated with the antiviral treatment agent, which can also achieve that the antiviral treatment agent covers the entire clothes. These do not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0114] The clothing treatment method further includes:

[0115] After adding the antiviral treatment agent, start the temperature control system of the dryer or the washer-dryer to make the temperature inside the inner drum reach the first preset temperature. The temperature control system is specifically the temperature control system for drying of the dryer or the washer-dryer, and specifically conveys hot air at the first preset temperature into the inner drum to make the temperature of the inner drum reach the first preset temperature. Specifically, the first preset temperature is the optimal attachment temperature of the antiviral treatment agent. It can make the antiviral treatment agent attach to the clothes at the optimal temperature, ensuring the attachment effect; and then ensuring that the antiviral treatment agent can kill viruses or form a barrier to the human body during the wearing process after the clothing care is completed, avoiding or reducing the harm of viruses to the human body, and thus making the clothes have antiviral ability.

[0116] In addition, the clothing treatment method further includes:

[0117] While maintaining the temperature inside the inner drum at the first preset temperature, control the rotation of the inner drum of the dryer or the washer-dryer. The rotation of the inner drum can make the clothes turn over, so that all positions of the clothes can quickly reach the first preset temperature, and the antiviral treatment agent at all positions of the clothes can attach to the clothes.

[0118] The clothing treatment method further includes: after maintaining the temperature inside the inner drum at the first preset temperature, control the dryer or the washer-dryer to perform a drying operation. That is, perform a drying operation after the antiviral treatment agent attaches to the clothes, and the temperature of the drying operation does not exceed the second preset temperature, where the second preset temperature is the temperature at which the antiviral treatment agent is volatile, that is, the antiviral treatment agent cannot be volatilized during the drying process, which can make the antiviral treatment agent firmly attach to the clothes, ensuring the attachment effect; and then ensuring that the antiviral treatment agent can kill viruses or form a barrier to the human body during the wearing process after the clothing care is completed, avoiding or reducing the harm of viruses to the human body, and thus making the clothes have antiviral ability.

[0119] As Figure 2 shown, the clothing treatment method specifically includes the following steps:

[0120] S001. While adding an antivirus treatment agent into the clothing care chamber in the form of a spray, control the rotation of the inner drum of the dryer or the washer-dryer.

[0121] S002. Start the temperature control system of the dryer or the washer-dryer to make the temperature inside the inner drum reach the first preset temperature.

[0122] S003. Keep the temperature inside the inner drum at the first preset temperature and control the rotation of the inner drum of the dryer or the washer-dryer.

[0123] S004. Control the dryer or the washer-dryer to perform the drying operation.

[0124] Embodiment 2

[0125] Wherein the care program is the care program of the dryer or the washer-dryer, and the clothing treatment method further includes:

[0126] While adding an antivirus treatment agent into the clothing care chamber in the form of a spray, perform the drying operation.

[0127] During the drying operation, start the temperature control system of the dryer or the washer-dryer to make the temperature inside the inner drum reach the third preset temperature, keep the temperature inside the inner drum at the third preset temperature, and rotate the inner drum to perform the drying operation. Specifically, the third preset temperature is the optimal attachment temperature of the antivirus treatment agent, which can make the antivirus treatment agent attach to the clothing at the optimal temperature to ensure the attachment effect; thus ensuring that the antivirus treatment agent can kill viruses or form a barrier to the human body during the wearing process after the clothing care is completed, avoiding or reducing the harm of viruses to the human body, and thereby endowing the clothing with antivirus ability. Rotation during the drying process can make all positions of the clothing be covered with the antivirus treatment agent. In addition, the drying operation needs to be carried out for a period of time after the spraying is completed, so that after the spraying ends, the last sprayed antivirus treatment agent can also be evenly and firmly attached to the clothing.

[0128] Regarding the drying operation of the dryer or the washer-dryer, it should be noted that although the drying operation is performed simultaneously with the spraying in this embodiment, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, in other embodiments, the drying operation can also be selected to be performed after the spraying ends, and the drying operation is also carried out at the third preset temperature, and the inner drum needs to be rotated during the drying process. These all do not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0129] Embodiment 3

[0130] The clothing treatment program is the washing program, and the step of "adding an antivirus treatment agent to the clothing during the execution of the clothing treatment program" specifically includes:

[0131] During the execution of the washing program, an antiviral treatment agent is added to the wash water. Specifically, after the last rinse is completed, the antiviral treatment agent is added to the rinse water. Moreover, while or after adding the antiviral treatment agent to the rinse water, the rinse water is agitated and maintained for a first set time.

[0132] After the last rinse is completed, adding the antiviral treatment agent to the rinse water can effectively prevent the antiviral treatment agent from being washed away by the rinse, thus failing to play the role of killing viruses or forming a barrier to the human body. Agitating the rinse water and maintaining it for a set time can allow the rinse water to fully soak the clothes, enabling the antiviral treatment agent to fully adhere to the clothes.

[0133] The antiviral treatment agent is added to the rinse water in the form of a solution through the water inlet system of the washing machine or a dedicated dosing device. Adding it through the water inlet system does not require changing the structure of the washing machine, enabling this clothing treatment method to be applied to existing washing machines. Adding it through a dedicated dosing device can ensure the dosing timing, thereby ensuring the soaking effect and ensuring that the antiviral treatment agent fully adheres to the clothes.

[0134] After the last rinse is completed, the water temperature of the rinse water is controlled to a fifth preset temperature so that the antiviral treatment agent adheres more firmly to the clothes. Specifically, the fifth preset temperature is the optimal adhesion temperature of the antiviral treatment agent. The specific method of "controlling the water temperature of the rinse water to the fifth preset temperature" is that during the last rinse process, the water temperature of the rinse water is the fifth preset temperature (or slightly higher than the fifth preset temperature, which can ensure that the temperature drops to the fifth preset temperature after the last rinse is completed), which can ensure that during the subsequent agitation of the rinse water, the antiviral treatment agent adheres to the clothes at the optimal temperature, ensuring the adhesion effect; furthermore, it can ensure that during the wearing process after the clothes are washed, the antiviral treatment agent can kill viruses or form a barrier to the human body, avoiding or reducing the harm of viruses to the human body, and thus endowing the clothes with antiviral ability.

[0135] As Figure 3 shown, an exemplary description of the specific treatment of clothes during one rinse is as follows:

[0136] S001. Washing;

[0137] S002. Dehydration;

[0138] S003. Rinsing;

[0139] S004. Add the antiviral treatment agent to the rinse water, specifically after the rinse is completed; moreover, after adding the antiviral treatment agent, agitate the rinse water and maintain it for a set time.

[0140] S005. Dehydration. The treatment of the clothes is completed after the last dehydration.

[0141] Example 4

[0142] The laundry treatment program is a care program. The step of "adding an antivirus treatment agent to the laundry during the execution of the laundry treatment program" specifically includes: during the execution of the care program, adding the antivirus treatment agent to the laundry care chamber in the form of spraying or sprinkling, and maintaining the sixth set time to enable the antivirus treatment agent to fully adhere to the laundry.

[0143] Specifically, the care program is a care program of a washing machine, and the laundry care chamber refers to the inner tub of the washing machine. This laundry treatment method further includes:

[0144] While or after adding the antivirus treatment agent to the laundry care chamber in the form of spraying or sprinkling, controlling the rotation of the inner tub of the washing machine to make the antivirus treatment agent adhere to the laundry more evenly.

[0145] While or after adding the antivirus treatment agent to the laundry care chamber in the form of spraying or sprinkling, starting the temperature control system of the washing machine to convey air at the sixth preset temperature into the inner tub and thus controlling the temperature inside the inner tub, so that the antivirus treatment agent adheres to the laundry more firmly. Specifically, the sixth preset temperature is the optimal adhesion temperature of the antivirus treatment agent. During the rotation of the inner tub of the washing machine, the antivirus treatment agent can adhere to the laundry at the optimal temperature, ensuring the adhesion effect; furthermore, it ensures that the antivirus treatment agent can kill viruses or form a barrier to the human body during the wearing process after the laundry care is completed, avoiding or reducing the harm of viruses to the human body, and thus enabling the laundry to have antivirus ability.

[0146] Among them, the care program is a separate care program of the washing machine; it should be noted that the separate care program is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also combine the care program with other programs. For example, the care program is carried out after a separate spin-drying program, or after a separate drying program; or after the washing program; or, the care program is an air washing program based on the sixth preset temperature, that is, during the air washing process, adding the antivirus treatment agent to the laundry care chamber in the form of spraying.

[0147] In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the care program is a care program included in a combined washing program, and the care program runs after the washing program ends.

[0148] As Figure 4 shown, taking the care of laundry by a washing machine as an example for illustration, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0149] S001. After putting the clothes into the inner drum of the washing machine, execute the clothing care program;

[0150] S002. Add the antivirus treatment agent into the inner drum of the washing machine in the form of spraying or spraying;

[0151] S003. Control the rotation of the inner drum of the washing machine so that the antivirus treatment agent adheres to the clothes more evenly.

[0152] The particle size of the mist droplets of the antivirus treatment agent spray is R, where 0.1 μm ≤ R ≤ 500 μm.

[0153] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent includes bacteriostatic agent a%, auxiliary agent b%, and solvent c%, where 0.01 ≤ a ≤ 5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 10, and 85 ≤ c ≤ 99.99.

[0154] The bacteriostatic agent is a cationic bactericide.

[0155] Preferably, the cationic bactericide includes one or more of cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine, chlorhexidine gluconate, chlorhexidine acetate, polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride, didodecyldimethylammonium chloride, dicetyldimethylammonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, and benzalkonium bromide.

[0156] The auxiliary agent includes one or more of surfactant, essence, softener, chelating agent, deodorant, and anti-wrinkle agent.

[0157] The solvent includes a mixture of organic solvent and water or water. The organic solvent includes one or more mixtures of monohydric alcohol, dihydric alcohol, trihydric alcohol, alcohol ether solvent, and polyethylene glycol. The purpose of the organic solvent is to dissolve the auxiliary agent and make the particle size of the auxiliary agent meet the requirements of this application when spraying, to avoid the blockage of the spray holes by the auxiliary agent, resulting in the inability of the antivirus treatment agent to spray on the clothes. The proportion of the organic solvent cannot exceed the preset value, preferably 10% in this embodiment, to prevent the excessive amount of organic solvent from causing the inability of the antivirus treatment agent to spray outwards.

[0158] The main bacteriostatic and antivirus components of the antivirus treatment agent are cationic bactericides, which are not easily volatile and can adhere to the clothes to form a protective layer. After wearing the clothes, if there are viruses falling on the clothes, they will be killed by the protective layer of the antivirus treatment agent, making it impossible to penetrate the clothes to reach the human body, achieving a long-term bacteriostatic effect. Traditional antibacterial sprays (mainly volatile bactericides) mainly kill the viruses on the surface of the clothes and do not have a long-term bacteriostatic effect. The antivirus treatment agent of this application has a long-term bacteriostatic effect and can better achieve the protective effect.

[0159] The flash point of the solvent is higher than the fourth preset temperature, which is preferably 80°C. In other embodiments, other temperatures can also be selected. The relative molecular weight of the solvent is less than the first preset value, which is preferably 800. In other embodiments, it can also be other values.

[0160] The following will describe in detail the situation after treating clothes with an antivirus treatment agent at different component ratios through several embodiments.

[0161] Referring to the component ratios of the antivirus treatment agent provided in each embodiment, and simultaneously referring to the clothes treatment method provided in Embodiment 2 to treat the clothes, and then test the treated clothes.

[0162] Embodiment 5

[0163] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent includes the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.01%, water 99.99%.

[0164] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 30%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 20%.

[0165] Embodiment 6

[0166] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent includes the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.03%, water 99.97%.

[0167] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 38%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 26%.

[0168] Embodiment 7

[0169] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent includes the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.1%, water 99.9%.

[0170] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 60%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 52%.

[0171] Embodiment 8

[0172] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent includes the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.3%, water 99.7%.

[0173] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 80%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 70%.

[0174] Embodiment 9

[0175] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent includes the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, water 99.6%.

[0176] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0177] Example Ten

[0178] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 2%, water 98%.

[0179] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0180] From Example Five to Example Ten, it can be obtained that the higher the concentration of the antibacterial agent, the higher the antibacterial rate and virus inactivation rate achieved. However, after reaching 0.4%, the antibacterial rate and virus inactivation rate basically no longer increase and continue to maintain at a relatively high level. Even if the concentration of the antibacterial agent is further increased, the increase in the antibacterial rate and virus inactivation rate is not significant. Moreover, in practical applications, an antibacterial rate of 90% and a virus inactivation rate of 90% can already meet the protection requirements. Therefore, the concentration of the antibacterial agent is preferably not less than 0.4%, that is, preferably a≥0.4. In addition, the concentration of the antibacterial agent cannot be too high, specifically not exceeding 5%; mainly because when the concentration is too high, the dryer or washing machine cannot spray it outwards, resulting in the failure to achieve the expected antivirus effect.

[0181] Example Eleven

[0182] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: didodecyldimethylammonium chloride 0.1%, benzalkonium bromide 0.2%, polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride 0.1%, water 99.6%.

[0183] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0184] Example Twelve

[0185] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.1, dicetyldimethylammonium chloride 0.3, water 99.6%.

[0186] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0187] From Example Nine, Example Eleven and Example Twelve, it can be obtained that the type of the antibacterial agent has little effect on the antibacterial rate and virus inactivation rate.

[0188] Example Thirteen

[0189] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.01%, chelating agent 3%, water 96.99%.

[0190] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 30%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 20%.

[0191] Example 14

[0192] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, chelating agent 3%, and water 96.7%.

[0193] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0194] Example 15

[0195] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 2%, chelating agent 3%, and water 95%.

[0196] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0197] Example 16

[0198] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 2%, chelating agent 5%, and water 93%.

[0199] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0200] Example 17

[0201] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, active agent 3%, and water 96.6%.

[0202] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0203] Example 18

[0204] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 2%, active agent 3%, and water 95%.

[0205] After treating the clothes, the antibacterial rate of the clothes can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0206] It can be seen from Example 5, Example 8, Example 9, Example 13 to Example 18 that the additives have no influence on the antibacterial rate and the virus inactivation rate, and the antibacterial agent plays the role of antibacterial and antivirus. Moreover, the types and concentrations of the additives also have no influence on the antibacterial rate and the virus inactivation rate.

[0207] Example 19:

[0208] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, glycerol 5%, water 94.6%; after treating the clothing, the antibacterial rate of the clothing can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0209] Example Twenty:

[0210] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, glycerol 8%, water 91.6%; after treating the clothing, the antibacterial rate of the clothing can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0211] Example Twenty - One:

[0212] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, polyethylene glycol 5%, water 94.6%; after treating the clothing, the antibacterial rate of the clothing can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0213] It can be seen from Example Nine and Examples Nineteen to Twenty - One that the organic solvent has no effect on the antibacterial rate and the virus inactivation rate, and the antibacterial agent plays the role of antibacterial and antivirus. Moreover, neither the type nor the concentration of the organic solvent has an impact on the antibacterial rate and the virus inactivation rate.

[0214] Example Twenty - Two:

[0215] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: the antibacterial agent is benzalkonium chloride 0.4%, the softener 0.5%, propylene glycol 8%, water 91.1%; after treating the clothing, the antibacterial rate of the clothing can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0216] Example Twenty - Three:

[0217] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: the antibacterial agent is chlorhexidine 0.4%, the softener 0.5%, propylene glycol 10%, water 89.1%; after treating the clothing, the antibacterial rate of the clothing can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0218] Example Twenty - Four:

[0219] By weight percentage, the antivirus treatment agent comprises the following components: the antibacterial agent is chlorhexidine 0.4%, the softener 0.5%, polyethylene glycol 10%, water 89.1%; after treating the clothing, the antibacterial rate of the clothing can reach 90%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 90%.

[0220] As known from Example 9 and Examples 19 to 24, organic solvents and additives have no effect on the bacteriostatic rate and virus inactivation rate. It is the bacteriostat that plays the role of bacteriostasis and disinfection. Moreover, neither the type nor the concentration of organic solvents and additives has an impact on the bacteriostatic rate and virus inactivation rate.

[0221] Comparative Example 1:

[0222] Without using a bacteriostat and additives, after treating the clothes, the bacteriostatic rate of the clothes can reach 5%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 2%.

[0223] Comparative Example 2:

[0224] Without using a bacteriostat, the solvent is water, accounting for 100%; after treating the clothes, the bacteriostatic rate of the clothes can reach 5%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 2%.

[0225] Comparative Example 3:

[0226] Using chlorine dioxide as a bacteriostat, accounting for 2%; the solvent is water, accounting for 98%; after treating the clothes, the bacteriostatic rate of the clothes can reach 20%, and the virus inactivation rate can reach 15%; however, after two hours, the bacteriostatic rate of the clothes can only reach 5%, and the virus inactivation rate can only reach 2%.

[0227] Comparative Example 4:

[0228] Using 84 disinfectant as a bacteriostat, accounting for 2%; the solvent is water, accounting for 98%; after treating the clothes, the bacteriostatic rate of the clothes can reach 20%, and the virus inactivation rate reaches 15%; however, after two hours, the bacteriostatic rate of the clothes can only reach 5%, and the virus inactivation rate can only reach 2%.

[0229] After treating the clothes through the comparative examples, the bacteriostatic rate and virus inactivation rate of the clothes are extremely low and cannot play an effective protective role. Moreover, when using traditional fungicides, due to their easy volatility, they have a certain bacteriostatic and virus-inactivating effect on the bacteriostatic rate and virus inactivation rate just after the clothes are treated, but they no longer have a bacteriostatic effect after a short time and cannot provide long-term bacteriostasis.

[0230] In summary, the virus-proof treatment agent can kill viruses due to its chemical and / or biological properties. Since it adheres to all parts of the clothes, it can form a protective layer on the outside of the human body to prevent virus invasion and protect human health.

[0231] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
