Will BioSmart® technology leave a residue on surfaces?
Both the BioSmart® technology and the chlorine molecules are bound to the fabric and will not leave a chemical residue on surfaces; however, terry towels do produce lint and BioSmart® towels may deposit a lint residue on surfaces. Milliken tested BioSmart® towels wiped on a hard surface for residual chlorine deposited on the surface. The process & results are summarized below. Procedure: • A BioSmart® towel was fully charged and tested for bound chlorine (~800 ppm). • A hard surface counter (white in color) was selected and moistened with water. • The charged towel was used to vigorously scrub the counter and dry the surface. • The countertop was immediately checked for chlorine residue with an indicator dropper. • The BioSmart® towel was allowed to dry and then titrated for residual chlorine (~800 ppm). Results: • No residual chlorine could be detected on the counter. • Measurements show that the towel retained practically all of the originally bound chlorine.
