Can Sunlight Kill Germs?
Did you know that the sun's rays can kill germs? It's true... mostly.
According to a paper published by John Weinziri, sunlight can effectively kill of or inhibit the bacteria that cause tuberculosis.
Now, does that mean you should just leave your dirty laundry in the sun for a while? No.
Your neighbors probably wouldn't appreciate it.
Also, sunlight has to hit all areas of the fabric. Bacteria can still hid in the weave of the cloth or the seams. To top it off, it seems TB is fairly delicate as far as bacteria goes.
So, guess you've still got to do laundry this week...
If only there was someone you could call to do it for you.
