Scientists Put an End To Smelly Socks

athe!st writes "A new anti-microbial treatment that can make clothing — including smelly socks — permanently germ-free has been developed by US scientists. In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials and Interfaces, Dr Jason Locklin and his colleagues state that the treatment kills a wide range of dangerous pathogens, including staph, strep, E. coli, pseudomonas and acinetobacter."

You don't have any air contact your skin? no moisture? no cloths? hmm, maybe you should narrow it down from 'chemicals'?

From google - Chemical (noun): A compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, esp. artificially

I think GP had his usage correct.
