A recent study showed that microfiber products can help prevent the spread of bacteria, particularly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to an article on the American Laundry News website.
The tests showed that MRSA on microfiber products, including gloves, napkins and towels, was reduced by nearly 100% two hours after initial contact.
Poly-cotton textiles showed a 72 percent reduction rate, and cotton products displayed only 27 percent reduction.
“This means if a cotton product is exposed to MRSA, there is a 75 percent chance it will transfer onto the next person to come in contact with it,” a researcher said.
