Scientists create a t-shirt that can go unwashed for a whole month

20:10, August 5

American startup Hercleon has introduced an innovative t-shirt called the HercShirt V5.0, which, according to its creators, can stay fresh for up to 30 days without a single wash.

According to the developers, this effect is achieved through seven "odor-fighting elements" woven directly into the fabric's structure:

  • Copper and silver play the main role. They possess powerful antimicrobial properties and destroy bacteria that feed on sweat and release metabolic waste products that create unpleasant odors.

  • Porous minerals in the material's composition act as an absorbent (similar to cat litter), soaking up foreign smells.

  • Zinc neutralizes sulfur compounds (stress sweat), while two more secret elements fight ammonia and hormonal odors.

The invention was created by Cameroon-born Wenceslaus Muenyi. The idea came to him while traveling, when his clothes inevitably started smelling bad after just a couple of days.

The startup offers t-shirts in three levels of odor protection:

  1. Budget — designed for 3 days of wear.

  2. Standard — stays fresh for up to two weeks.

  3. Max — the flagship version, allowing the wearer to keep and wear the item without washing for a whole month.

This convenience is not cheap: a single Max version t-shirt will cost buyers $79.

The creators honestly warn: the t-shirt protects specifically against sweat odor, but it is not self-cleaning. If you spill coffee on it or get food stains on it, the spots won't go anywhere, and basic personal hygiene rules still apply.
