New permanent solution (material, format, scientist)

A new anti-microbial treatment that can make clothing - including smelly socks - permanently germ-free has been developed by US scientists.

The solution does not wash away even after multiple hot laundry cycles, according to its inventor Dr Jason Locklin.

too bad they don't tell you what the "chemical solution" is made up of......I find it very hard to believe....and wonder if it would be safe.

In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials and Interfaces, Dr Jason Locklin and his colleagues state that the treatment kills a wide range of dangerous pathogens, including staph, strep, E. coli, pseudomonas and acetinobacter.

I guess you have to pay for more information.
