Wrinkle-Free Clothing
Filed Under In Our Opinion - Naturally Savvy Guides |
I was reading an article today on an upcoming popular trend - “wrinkle-free clothing“. It caught my eye because I really don’t like to iron. My mom tells me it “relaxes” her, but personally I can think of many other ways to relax. So, as I began to read the article, I quickly learned the secret of how this interesting new process works: “Soaking the fabric in formaldehyde and pressing it flat makes it wrinkle-resistant”, said a spokeperson for a women’s apparel company. This person went on to say “The molecules line up like little soldiers and remember where they’re supposed to be”. Personally, I prefer to refrain from ‘wearing’ chemicals on a regular basis since there’s a chance that my body may absorb them. Talking about ‘wearing chemicals’, for those of you who dry clean your clothes regularly, check out: www.naturallysavvy.com/earthly_matters/Dry_Cleaning_Tip.php.
In Good Health,

Yech - good point! Its amazing all the things we need to be aware of - thanks for pointing this out.
It’s so true - ‘wrinkle free’, ’stain resistant’, they all come with a higher cost. I’d prefer to iron and scrub a little!!
