Repair Guide: Removing Fabric Stains
Information about Fabrics and Fabric Care
Sheep wool, and other natural fiber, has been used to make fabric for thousands of years. Man started developing synthetic fabric used in home furnishings and apparel in the early 1900’s. As technology advanced, so did the production of synthetic fibers. For instance, in 1993 lyocell was developed and in 1989 even the finest silk fabrics were improved. Always check the clothing label for wash and care instructions because many fabrics may lose their color, shape, and overall beauty if not cared for properly.
