Abstract
A tissue product comprising an additive composition onto at least the surface of a fibrous article in order to increase the surface potential of the article, while retaining or improving manufacturing efficiency is disclosed. The additive composition comprises a bacteriostatic component and more preferably a water-soluble adhesive component and a bacteriostatic component. In some aspects, the additive may also contain additional water-soluble modifier components. Tissue products according to the present disclosure can attract and trap negatively charged matter, such as bacteria, into the tissue web. As such, tissue products can pickup bacteria from a surface and substantially hold the bacteria in the sheet to help prevent spreading bacteria to other surfaces.
