Antibacterial Microfiber Launch - .. What has been accomplished by introducing particles of silver and spreading them throughout the fibers, is an increase in silver germ-killing ionic activity. Accelerated or hyper-ionic activity is exactly the desired result for fast antimicrobial, anti-odour effects. [Full Article] (doc)
Lund University Report - .. The purpose of this project is to conduct a study on the long term development of microbiological particles when you clean with microfiber the surfaces and areas that are in daily use in a hospital. The study is done using daily regular sanitary cleaning routines, using only microfiber cleaning products and water on floors and other surfaces at Feiringklinikken in Eidsvoll Norway.[Full Article] (pdf) [Summary] (doc)
Japan Antibacterial Testing - .. This test confirms that the Norwex Microfiber cloth removes 99.9% of bacteria from a surface. It also confirmed that even after washing the cloth 300 times it was still able to pick up 99.9% of bacteria from the surface. [Results] (doc)
Silver Care Toothbrushes - .. The toothbrush, the most common and important device in the prevention of plaque-related diseases, is subject to constant contamination by saprophyte and pathogenic microorganisms, found in the oral cavity, which gives it an infective charge for the next use. The data obtained in this study demonstrates that the toothbrush with the silver plated head has significantly higher reduction of the colonization of streptococcus mutans as opposed to the conventional toothbrush.[Full Article] (pdf)
