This sweatshirt is being hailed as the world's first ever "self-cleaning" article of clothing-and for every one sold, one is donated to the homeless.

The shirts are made from nanoscopic polyester fibers that repel liquid similarly to a lotus leaf; fluids simply bounce off the surface of the clothing without staining it.

In addition to repelling liquids and spills, the shirts can also go without being washed for up to a month-and once they are cleaned, the fabric dries 40% faster than regular clothing.

Varun Bhanot and his wife Anisha Seth developed the hoodies as a means of helping homeless people in Britain-but they did admit that the jumper would also be perfect for wine spills during boozy Christmas parties.

"We created a jumper and a hoodie range that repels liquids, dirts, sweats and odors, because you never really know what's going to happen on any given day," said Bhanot. "You could spill your coffee, spill some water, or maybe you're at a party and you might spill some wine down your jumper.

"You could wear it in the gym, or you could go out and about in it for more than a month and you probably wouldn't even need to wash it," he added. "After more than a year of experimentation, prototyping, and fabric development, we've created what we think could be the world's first set of self-cleaning clothing."

The 29-year-old entrepreneurs from London are the co-founders of Unhoused: a charity dedicated to helping homeless people throughout the city.

For every article of warm clothing bought from the organization, one is donated to charity. Since launching the charity, they have donated more than 100,000 articles of clothing to London's rough sleepers-and now that they have succeeded in developing the revolutionary sweatshirts, the couple is selling them for £69.99 ($93) on the site under the same buy one, give one model.

"What is great is for every single one bought, one is donated to the UK's homeless," said Bhanot. "We partnered up with a few shelters here in East London and the response from them has been one of a huge amount of surprise; most of the stuff they get in tends to be second-hand donations.

"They could have something which could keep them perpetually very warm, very clean, and would reduce the need for them to be constantly washing things in washing facilities and of course the environmental benefits that come along with that, really took a lot of these shelters by surprise.

"It could be a game-changer for sustainable clothing all over the world, and an absolute life-saver for the UK's homeless and those sleeping rough, who may not have access to washing facilities and need to be kept warm and clean all year round.

"Even though we only launched it around a month ago, people have been absolutely astounded by the effect it can produce and also the longevity of something like this," he concluded.
