We are a non-profit, registered association committed to protecting public health through certified textile hygiene – particularly in hotels, guesthouses, daycare centres, emergency shelters, and all facilities with textile-based sleeping areas.

“Every guest has the right to health and safety – the THMS hygiene certificate is therefore not a voluntary award, but the consistent fulfilment of an obligation that arises from the trust of the guest and the price paid for the overnight stay.”

• Free testing and certification of accommodation providers

• Training staff in textile hygiene best practices

• Educating the public about hidden infection risks in textiles such as mattresses, pillows, and blankets

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 45% of people worldwide suffer from allergies. These individuals rely on allergen-free, hygienically safe sleeping environments.

 However, the reality is alarming:

• House dust mites and their faeces form a large part of household dust and contain allergens that can damage the immune system, leading to chronic allergies and autoimmune diseases that are often incurable.

• Asthma attacks or allergic shocks caused by allergen exposure can be life-threatening.

Freshly laundered bedding is no guarantee of safety!
Mites, fungal spores, bacteria, and viruses accumulate inside mattresses and pillows – sometimes for years without proper cleaning or disinfection.

We inspect all accommodation facilities following strict, standardized hygiene protocols.

Only establishments that disinfect mattresses and pillows with approved, organic, and laboratory-tested products after every guest change – before fitting fresh bedding – and reliably eliminate parasites receive the THMS Hygiene Seal, a trusted mark of:

• Quality

• Reliability

• Responsibility

For allergy sufferers, the THMS Certificate is a compelling reason to book – and a guarantee for returning guests.
