Applied Silver is a company dedicated to using the power of silver to
develop commercial applications for a cleaner, healthier world.
Applied Silver provides solutions to help maintain the cleanest possible environment. The Silicon
Valley based team of nationally acclaimed engineers, scientists and business leaders pioneered a
breakthrough technology called SilvaClean ® – the new standard for soft surface antimicrobial
protection that is patented, EPA-approved, and eco-friendly.
SilvaClean is seamless to integrate into existing laundry processes. The technology uses a
proprietary electronic hardware module to deliver an ionic silver treatment into each laundry cycle
and infuse ions into textiles, all monitored by intelligent cloud-based software ensuring persistent
antimicrobial protection.
In a world filled with contaminated soft surfaces the application possibilities of SilvaClean are
limitless. Virtually any soft surface can be made cleaner and more hygienic – and can stay that way
for longer – because of SilvaClean’s lasting antimicrobial effects.

Leading hospitals now use SilvaClean® — the new standard for soft surface
antimicrobial protection
Until now, cleanliness efforts in hospitals have focused largely on the obvious sources of contamination
such as hands and hard surfaces. But studies have proven that linens are capable of harboring odor- and
stain-causing bacteria, mold and mildew.
There is now a technology that can immediately help:
1. Reduce odor- and stain-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on all soft surfaces
2. Support a more comfortable patient stay
SilvaClean is a patented, EPA-approved, and eco-friendly technology that uses silver ions, a natural
antimicrobial, to eliminate and protect against harmful odor- and stain-causing bacteria on fabrics. Linens
ranging from bedding, gowns, and towels to healthcare worker scrubs are treated with SilvaClean’s waterbased solution each time they are laundered, ensuring lasting antimicrobial protection and the cleanest
possible hospital environment.

Help athletes achieve their peak performance with SilvaClean®
Until now, hygiene efforts in athletics have focused largely on the obvious sources of contamination
i.e. hard surfaces. But studies have proven that fabrics are capable of harboring odor- and staincausing bacteria, mold and mildew.
SilvaClean technology is now a breakthrough key preventive strategy in the sports sector to help
reduce microbial growth on athletic gear. SilvaClean is a patented, EPA-approved, and eco-friendly
technology that uses silver ions, a natural antimicrobial, to eliminate and protect against odor- and
stain-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on fabrics. Linens ranging from towels to uniforms are
treated with SilvaClean each time they are laundered, ensuring lasting protection and the cleanest
possible environment.
