Importantly, this treatment is implemented with sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
Preservation of the natural characteristics of the fiber, unlike other treatments that may diminish its natural properties by covering it with synthetic materials.
The treatment is entirely chlorine, resin, and sulfuric acid-free, ensuring no contamination to waterways.
Free from harmful chemicals.
