# Sanitizing Bathroom Accessories The Puredesign Dry Clean Freshens Fabric to Reduce Your Laundry By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puredesign-dry-clean References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/04/10/no-wet-blankets-allowed/) Items like towels usually don't require frequent washing due to contact with one's skin -- you're generally clean when you touch one. The fibrous fabric is more at risk of gathering bacteria after it's assisted in patting you down, when the cloth remains wet in a steamy washroom. The Puredesign Dry Clean prevents this invisible soiling of your [bath towel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zehnder-archibald) by helping it to [shed its moisture more quickly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceefficient-drying). The rectangular ring can accommodate a pair of towels side by side, blowing hot air downwards and in between their folds along the lower bar. Additionally, the cylindrical fixture of the towel rack features a [UV light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umma-diamond-sonic-toothbrush). This functions as a sanitizer to keep the cloth hygienic between proper washes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hygienic Design:** Innovative products that prioritize cleanliness and sanitation to reduce the spread of germs. - **Sustainable Cleaning:** Developments in creating cleaning products and devices that require less water and energy to operate. - **Smart Sanitization:** Technologies that utilize sensors and AI to identify and target areas that require cleaning and sanitizing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Appliances:** Opportunities for the development of smart and energy-efficient cleaning devices for the home. - **Hospitality:** Opportunities for hotels and lodgings to invest in hygienic and sustainable bathroom accessories that prioritize guest safety and comfort. - **Healthcare:** Opportunities for hospitals and clinics to adapt smart sanitization technologies to improve patient safety and prevent the spread of infection. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tubular Bathroom Body Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-spa.md) - [Hygienic At-Home Hand Dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-towel-hand-dryer.md) - [Germ-Killing Clothing Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-care-appliance.md) - [Vertical Bathroom Drying Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordan.md) - [Antimicrobial Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titan-yarn.md) - [Portable Toothbrush sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clea-toothbrush-sanitizer.md) - [Sanitizing Organizational Clothing Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-cabinet1.md) - [UV Light Razor Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purity-razor-sterilizer.md) - [Odor-Free Bath Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-25.md)
