The Supertowel is made from a piece of microfiber cloth that has been treated with a permanent antimicrobial coating. Users dip the cloth in water, wring it out, and then wipe the cloth on their hands, following similar steps to handwashing as with soap. Once damp, the Supertowel can be carried with a person and re-used multiple times throughout the day. The Supertowel helps prevent the spread of diseases in crowded areas with limited access and availability of cleaning materials.
