Seattle, WA- HaloSource^®, a global antimicrobial and clean technologies solutions company, has broadened the reach of its HaloShield^® ingredient brand, with the introduction of Clorox^® FreshCare^™ Towels, now available in Wal-Mart stores nationwide.

Clorox^®FreshCare™ Towels, now available in Wal-Mart stores nationwide. Towels, powered by HaloShield, are protected against the growth of odor-causing bacteria. HaloShield^® is a patented coating that binds chlorine-based bleach to household textiles made of cotton.

Antimicrobial protection of the towel is reactivated every time the product is washed with Clorox^® Regular-Bleach and lasts the lifetime of the product.

“With FreshCare™ Towels, you don’t need to worry about foul smelling dishcloths or hand towels,” says HaloSource CEO John Kaestle. “We are excited to be able to bring this technology to market and offer a solution to this everyday problem.”
