In this study, we tested the color fastness of various fibers treated with culture medium of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa at alkaline conditions. After that, we tested the antibacterial activity of these fibers to
Staphylococcus aureus and
Klebsiella pneumoniae. As a result, we found that the antibacterial activity was easily affected after color fastness test of water, washing and laundering and ultraviolet light. Moreover, after these color fastness tests, treated fibers, especially nylon and acetate, faded extensively. On the other hand, after color fastness test of dry cleaning, treated fibers did not fade and maintained their antibacterial effect. Therefore, we suggest that dry cleaning is a suitable method of washing and indoor use is desirable for practical use.
