The certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry and that no significant contamination is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize With Oxi cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for sanitizing effectiveness.
