Ive heard that bamboo clothing is naturally anti-bacterial. How so?
Bamboo fiber contains “bamboo kun”, a natural agent that prevents bacteria from dwelling on it. Test have shown that even after extensive washing, bamboo textiles still retain this unique characteristic. In fact, a study by the CTITC (China Textile Industry Testing Centre) showed that after introducing bacteria to a sample of bamboo fabric a 99.8 reduction in bacteria occurred over a 24-hour period. Another study by The Japan Textile Inspection Association showed that bamboo fabric could eliminate over 70 of introduced bacteria over a 24-hour period even after 50 industrial wash cycles. This means that EcoSox will keep you fresher and odor free longer than socks made from any other material. 5. Do EcoSox deprive Pandas of their food source? No. There are over 1,200 species of bamboo on the planet. All of our products are manufactured from a specific bamboo called “moso” which is not eaten by Pandas.
