How does the silver agent in the microfiber work?
Norwex Antibacterial Microfiber is a new microfiber (patent-pending) that contains an environmentally friendly antibacterial agent that has passed both FDA and EPA approval. Norwex developed a unique technology that combines an antimicrobial agent with microfiber. The Antibacterial agent is embedded inside tiny microfibers the size of 0.3 Denier or smaller. The new Antibacterial cloths will make the surface we clean antimicrobial or “disinfected” by removing microorganisms like before, but the benefit of our antibacterial fibers will be preventing the growth of microorganisms, specifically bacterial and fungal growth, within the cloths after cleaning. Silver is unique among anti-microbial agents. It has been claimed to kill some 650 different disease organisms. And unlike antibiotics, Silver is an ‘equal opportunity destroyer’ – it doesn’t discriminate, but effectively kills germs of all major types: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, spore-forming bacteria, fungus/yeasts, virus
