What is the Hyper-Hygienic Home trend?
Hyper-Hygienic Home: Alleviating concerns about the safety and cleanliness of their homes, retailers in the home sector are providing consumers with anti-microbial and anti-bacterial bedding and textile options. This added benefit both helps health-conscious consumers feel better about their environments, and has the added bonus of less frequently required washing of the products themselves.
