Question from Bonnie Gary
Hello,
I recently bought some towels at a garage sale and just today noticed that one has a Martha Stewart label and says “Anti-Microbial Treatment”. I assumed this meant triclosan and was about to throw it and any others like it in the trash when I decided to check www.marthastewart.com, and I find various articles on the site about green living, including warnings against using triclosan. Do you think it’s possible some more natural anti-microbial was used on this line of towels?
Debra’s Answer
Well, the antimicrobial used on towels IS triclosan.
Martha may have discontinued this item, as it seems to be out of stock at Macy’s.
