Built by two Canadian engineers, named towel "Silver-Bamboo"
it is not only the softest towel ever knitted, but can eliminate 98% of
bacteria themselves collected in, staying always clean and ready to used.
Piyush Maheshwari, one of the project leaders, says he built
this due to a problem he had with the skin. One of the many dermatologists had
said he belonged to the towels we used usually had to wash more than twice a
week as the number of bacteria in double within 20 minutes.
This means that within a few hours in the towel can be found
over 2 million bacteria. When Maheshwari heard, he decided to give a solution
immediately.
He discovered the antibacterial properties of silver and
bamboo and decided to use them on the towel that he wanted to do himself.
"Silver is widely used in health care and medicine that is used in the
early years when it was discovered," he says. "Today, most special
equipment in hospitals use silver as a tool against germs. Bamboo fibers also
contain a natural antibacterial agent called "kun". Bamboo fibers are
soft and absorb moisture better than cotton.
