I needs to be mentioned that common antibacterial applications are not free of controversy.

One objection is that once you wipe a susceptible bacterial population from a surface, the resistant remainder now has the environment to themselves.

In other words, such straps could be a breeding ground for tougher, more harmful and highly resistant bacteria.
