news may 2007 categories uncategorized good bye leigh anne o ecotextiles and two sisters ecotextiles 39 comments march 12 2023 dear readers you may have noticed that we have not posted but about 3 times in the past well almost three years the sad reason for this falling down on the job is that my sister my fellow founder long time business partner and the primary researcher and first draft writer of this blog started in 2009 leigh anne has early onset dementia she can no longer work the absence of blog posts is evidence enough of my patty s that is the two sisters are leigh anne and patty leigh is the red head in the photo i am the other one difficulty in accepting this reality leigh anne was thoroughgoingly passionate about researching and investigating the safety and environmental issues of textile production and use continuing both the company and the blog is the best way to honor her i have numerous blogs ready to go even though again sadly most of leigh s blogs are still relevant as too little progress has occurred in fabric production as leigh used to say fabric gets no respect and boy should it because fabric production requires gargantuan amounts of energy chemicals and water simply through your fabric choices you can improve climate change toxicity pollution and water pollution and easily you do not have to park your car and get on a bike both leigh and i have had a tendency to report too many facts in an academic atmosphere we don t summarize well i ll be attempting to do that summarizing in the near future so busy people don t have to read through paragraphs and paragraphs of supporting evidence in order to get to the takeaway but we will direct you to the sources and evidence to support the facts we report please stay subscribed and let your friends know leigh anne and i used to disagree vigorously about many issues our husbands were always amazed about how we fought and fought but retained zero ill will even in the same day but one thing we agreed on reveal your black eyes be so honest that people trust you we felt fine about revealing ridiculous mistakes to customers investors etc assuming they would know that we would learn from mistakes give people the information that we would expect that is everything do not interpret without supporting evidence have and reveal sources state the truth or the truth in process studies minimize opinion minimize marketing hype don t have a strategy other than the truth and facts above a product of value fit for its intended purpose of course among our first three initial tag lines was ask for the data indulgent but responsible and organic but opulent were the others we have only recently gone opulent thank you john koval we have never spent money on advertising or even seo our odd overly technical blog on relatively obscure issues about completely unsexy fabric has been our only promotional vehicle i m not bragging about this it is far from optimal made necessary by a lack of capital we will change this soon money allowing we think that we do still have a solid foundation for growth because people trust what we say yes we make mistakes thank you for reading thank you for your interest onward and upward there remains way too much greenwashing in textiles animals your family the planet you can be a big part in helping to save them through your fabric choices change your choices ask for insist on gots certified or oeko tex certified as long as the fabric certified by oeko tex is natural fibers life is short hug the ones you love and say a prayer to whomever you worship for leigh anne she was and is a lovely soul patty categories uncategorized polyester is not stain resistant o ecotextiles and two sisters ecotextiles 16 comments december 15 2022 recently we attended a webinar about how to keep your home free of toxins in the conversation about which fabrics to choose for your furniture one of the panelists suggested using a synthetic polyester fabric to avoid stains people often think synthetic fiber fabrics are naturally stain resistant they are not they are stain resistant because of the addition of chemicals which you do not want to bring into your home now the situation is a little more complicated than they are not synthetic fibers are both hydrophobic meaning that they resist absorbing liquids and oilophilic meaning that they more readily absorb oils and grease there is a continuum of these states hydrophilic hydrophobic and oilophilic oilophobic but it is true that natural fiber fabrics are both hydrophilic and oilophobic this means that natural fiber fabrics absorb water well but oil poorly synthetic fiber fabrics are the opposite they are hydrophobic and oilophilic meaning that they resist absorbing water but more readily absorb oils and grease the fact that natural fibers are hydrophilic also means that they clean much better than hydrophilic synthetics washing machines all washing action with a machine or by hand depends on water absorption to clean the more absorbent the fibers the better they will clean so what do these hydro oil phobic philic characteristics mean for the staining and stain removal behavior of natural fibers versus synthetic fibers it means that lacking the addition of chemicals that we would all prefer to avoid or that we should avoid at all costs a natural fiber fabric will absorb water based stains more easily than a synthetic but you will have an easier time removing that stain natural fibers will resist oil based stains better than synthetics and should you get an oil based stain you will have an easier time removing it than from a synthetic fabric synthetics will not clean in your washer nearly as well synthetic fibers are almost never left pure that is the fiber only in the yarn they are turned into performance fabrics which do not stain wrinkle fade or yell back at you by the addition of chemicals synthetic fibers have the characteristics that people want not because of their inherent characteristics but because producers add chemicals which are both supremely toxic and which migrate into your home and into our environment americans want their fabric to behave and the chemical industry has stepped up pfas and their close cousins pfoas pfcs and pfos are some of the forever chemicals used n fabric to make them behave they are worth learning about so you can protect yourself and your family we ve written many articles about this critical problem the state of california has just taken steps to regulate pfas more about this in a later post but please look at the many posts in our blog about these chemicals simply search for pfa or stain resistant or close in the search bar on our this blog some of the chemicals used in performance fabrics have been voluntarily limited in use in the us but their close cousins are in constant use and none have been outlawed even asbestos is still perfectly legal to use in products in the us and with no notification at all the new york times has a relatively new section wirecutter a product recommendation section which announces why they are so expert in suggesting products for us they gayly ignore the facts about toxicity reported in other sections of the same newspaper more about that later the most surprising most troubling fact in this post is most likely the fact that there is no law absolutely no requirement to reveal anything about finishes used or additives added to fabrics at any stage of the production process not the melt or fiber preparation stage the yarn spinning stage weaving or post production stages it is perfectly legal in the usa to add asbestos to your fabric and not tell you the only facts required to be revealed about fabrics are the fiber content and the country of origin which is where was it woven even though there might be 6 or more different countries involved in the supply chain of the fabric there are in the us five chemicals which are prohibited in manufacturing and a smattering of others that are regulated spottily thousands of chemicals are used regularly in textile production roughly 400 are prohibited or limited by gots or oeko tex gots is more restrictive assigning an accurate number to the number of chemicals regulated or prohibited by either is difficult because many of the chemicals can have equally unsavory cousins synthesized easily which are technically outside of the regulations this is a future blog post topic in itself this fact that so little is regulated regarding fabrics in the us is one of the main reasons why we encourage people to ask for and insist on one of the three fabric certifications that we think are useful gots the global organic textile standard or oeko tex 100 or the oeko tex made in green certifications how can you determine if a fabric is safe we ll offer an easy to use guide in our next post look for fabric that has the gots global organic textiles standard certification gots is the gold standard for textiles although it has had recent severe problems with fraud that we will cover the second best and only other certification that we feel is worth its salt in fabrics is oeko tex either the oeko tex 100 or the oeko tex made in green certifications but beware because oeko tex will certify synthetics yes use only oeko tex 100 or oeko tex made in green when you must use synthetics hmmm let me think about what those must use applications are you can help ps for foam used in furniture mattresses etc insist on either oeko tex 100 or gols the global organic textile standard let s protect this planet and the living beings on it by limiting the use of plastic based synthetic fabrics to instances where they are absolutely necessary this does not include your furniture categories synthetic tags gots oeko tex polyester why your choice of fabric for facemasks makes a difference o ecotextiles and two sisters ecotextiles 29 comments july 15 2020 facemasks and fabric there is much confusion about the efficacy of facemasks and what fabric is the best choice for masks masks work in two ways the fabric filters stops the particles and the seal between the mask and the face also keeps the virus from getting to your nose or mouth direct routes to your respiratory tract please also keep in mind that although most people instantly think that masks are primarily worn to protect the mask wearer in controlling the covid 19 pandemic an equally important role for masks has been to protect others from the mask wearer many people are suspected to be asymptomatic carriers sick with the disease but unaware because they have no symptoms masks turn out to be from good to very good protection even loose fitting ones made of any fabric but let s look at the debate and the evidence then we can look at some of the good better best fabric claims and offer our recommendations confusion about mask efficacy is in part due to the fact that there is little agreement how the coronavirus gets from an infected person to you this is the droplet versus aerosol debate to understand that debate we must first look at how small the coronavirus is from animated stuff the brown large object is one human hair about 100 microns one micron is one tenth of one millimeter the red thing is a red blood cell about 007 micron and the little hard to see dot to the right of the red blood cell is the coronavirus about 0005 micron the coronavirus is smaller than microscopic size meaning that we cannot even see the coronavirus with microscopes we have to do fluid tests usually blood tests from animated stuff a closer view in the second picture above reveals the coronavirus in red the smallest object in the picture next to a bacteria the oblong shaped object bacteria are much larger than viruses bacteria are also alive and can reproduce without a host one of the fascinating things about virus is that they are not alive but are in a middle state between living and non living they need a host to survive in getting to that host if you are a health care worker exposed to covid19 or if you are in a situation where you know you will be in indoor or enclosed spaces where air circulation is limited you will want an n95 mask or equivalent 1 and you want to pay attention to who directions on achieving a proper mask seal both negative breathing out and positive breathing in the 95 in n95 the us standard means that 95 of particles of size 3 microns are stopped by the mask in tests but we know that the coronavirus is 1 microns much smaller than the pores in even an n95 mask the reason masks do stop the coronavirus is that the virus particles are not buzzing around solo but are attached to water droplets water droplets are much larger than the holes in most masks from seetheair the transparent big blob in the illustration above is a droplet which humans produce when they sneeze cough sing even talk the tiny red bits are the coronavirus which hitch a ride in and on the droplet with the major way that the virus gets from an infected person to you being via droplets even a mask made out of not very tightly woven material that fits ok against your skin is a good bet to be good protection the water droplets are also much less likely to be breathed in via migration around a gap in the seal...
