Cotton and Polyester Udder Towels a Study of their Reaction with Halogen-Containing Disinfectants)
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 11, pages 73–88 (1970)
Summary
Inactivation of chlorine and iodine by cotton cloths was found to be most pronounced at temperatures over 45°—50 °C, and new cloths had a greater inactivating power than used ones.
Polyester sponges were found to inactivate less chlorine but more iodine than cotton cloths. To some extent, both halogens were bound reversibly to the polyester.
