Can your non-iron sheets and shirts be whiter than white and safe?
WE LOVE:
- Crisp, white linen & shirts
- Enjoying our time doing other things instead of ironing
BUT DID YOU KNOW:
- Most non-iron fabrics require a resin application…
- ...that often contains carcinogenic formaldehyde…
- …but non-iron fabrics made without formaldehyde tend to be less white
