Germaphobes, bacillophobes and all the other names (there are many) for those of you who are overly concerned with cleanliness your lives will soon be made easier. I heard a teaser on the noon news about self cleaning sheets and since I avoid the news in the evening I had to find out for myself what these sheets were all about. I assumed it was just another toxic chemical cocktail infused item which in turn would be worse for your health than the bacteria they were designed to kill, but that isn't the case. Other than the fact that they still need to be washed every 10-14 days and regular sheets should be washed once a week they are a nice item to have in your cleaning arsenal. They work by using silver fibers in cotton fabric. The silver has a positive charge where bacteria is negative so when the bacteria is attracted to the positive ions it is zapped and killed before it can reproduce. The sheets aren't on the market quite yet but should be available by July and the price isn't bad compared to other high quality sheets, $150 for a queen set.
