Leather – How do I know if it is ‘Genuine Leather’?

15 Apr

Tanning animal skins and hides creates leather.  Leather comes from skins when smaller animals are used.  The skin or hide is cleaned and tanned.  So, if this is the case, why would you look for products categorized ‘Genuine leather’?  This is an advertising idea that indicates the item is not made of imitation leather.  The choice is genuine or imitation.

Imitation leather has properties similar to leather.  The surface is embossed, colored and glossed to create this effect.  The better qualities of imitation leather are created using textile substrate.  If poor quality substrate is used, it can still be labeled “Genuine leather”.  Some leather has been given a plastic lacquer or foil coating.

Egyptian Cotton Bedding

29 Mar

When choosing new bedding there are some important things to consider. Egyptian Cotton is a great choice to make and here is why.

Why 100% Cotton?

Nature has given cotton attributes that makes it a smoother, softer and more comfortable choice. It’s “breathable,” so cotton sheets never feel sticky against your skin. Cotton sheets release soil easily, so they wash clean. Cotton sheets are perfect for any season providing year-round comfort. The fibre provides cool comfort in the summer and holds a layer of warm air in the cold weather. They also have the highest wear resistance of all the principal textile fibres; in fact, they become softer with repeated washings and use. It is also now generally accepted that cotton is kinder to the skin of eczema sufferers or people with sensitive skin, unlike the fibres in wool, nylon and other man-made fabrics, which tend to irritate the skin.

Simple cleaning with soap and water will keep outdoor patio furniture fabric clean. Read the rest of this entry »
