Bacteria-Free Bath Towels

The Mizu Towels Change Color When They Need to Be Cleaned

— November 8, 2017 — Lifestyle
Bath towels are rarely washed as often as they should be, leaving individuals susceptible to a bacterial build-up that can result in sickness or infection, which is why the bacteria-detecting Mizu Towels serve as such a useful hygienic resource.

Featuring an innovative color-changing strip, the Mizu towels can accurately inform an individual of when it's time for the towels to be washed. The change in color serves as a visual reminder for the individual, prompting a quick trip to the laundrymat before the towel begins to stink. Complete with a salon-quality twisted yarn weave, the towels offer optimal comfort with quick-drying abilities.

Both soft and bacteria-free, these towels are the perfect tool to enhance one's hygienic routine.
Trend Themes
1. Color-changing Towels - Opportunity to develop color-changing textiles that indicate when they need to be cleaned, improving hygiene and preventing bacterial build-up.
2. Hygienic Resources - Potential for creating innovative products that help individuals maintain hygiene and prevent illness or infection.
3. Quick-drying Towels - Scope for designing towels with quick-drying abilities, providing convenience and comfort to users.
Industry Implications
1. Textile Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunities in developing advanced textiles that offer color-changing properties for hygienic purposes.
2. Hygiene Products - Opportunity to create a range of innovative hygiene products that incorporate color-changing technology to indicate when they need to be replaced or cleaned.
3. Hospitality Industry - Potential for hotels and spa resorts to offer color-changing towels as a hygienic and convenient amenity for their guests.
