I can already imagine germophobes clapping their hands in glee! No more having to worry about your clothing getting dirtied by sitting on a public bench. No more need for a pair of “bus pants” to make sure that you are not in direct contact with the gazillion germs that are sure to breed in those dirty seats. For sure, Sheldon Cooper would be first in line to get hold of this new solution that can keep clothing free of germs – on a permanent basis.
