RECOGNISING THE PROBLEM
Nowadays the fashion in carpets and home textiles as well as in clothes has become fast and unsustainable, all these years since 2007, cleaning more than 500,000 carpets, blankets, quilts and fabric surfaces, we have come to the safe conclusion that products made from natural fibers such as wool and cotton are cleaned much easier and better, they keep their shape many more years and it is safer from the point of view of hygiene for humans. Of course, we should not forget that these fibers are produced in abundance by the environment without polluting it and when they are discarded in it they are absorbed without polluting it either, in contrast to synthetic fibers (nylon, polyamide, synthetic etc.) that are produced with based on the oil that to be extracted burdens the environment and create much more CO2 emissions, when it is discarded it is considered garbage and again pollutes the environment
THE ADVANTAGES OF WOOL AND COTTON
WOOL: Unlike hair, wool is made up of fibres of shorter length and thinner thickness, which have a natural tendency to curl. This causes the fibres to "hook" together and form a kind of "bunch", which is particularly durable. The hair usually has no folds (curls) and is impossible to comb, whereas wool is an ideal material for combing and yarn production. The folds of wool fibres trap the air between them, which is responsible for the rich volume of wool, compared to other fibres, which gives it insulating properties. The trapped air works against both cold and heat, which is why woolen clothing has been used since ancient times in all seasons.
COTTON: To understand its significance we have to go back in time, remnants of cotton fabrics have been found in India dating back to around 3000 BC. It first came to Greece from Asia during the time of Alexander the Great around 325 BC.
Its cultivation then spread to other European countries in the Mediterranean. At that time cotton was referred to as a tree, which proves that tree-like varieties of cotton were grown. The cultivation of cotton in Greece is mentioned by Pausanias in the 2nd century AD under the name 'Vyssos'. Its cultivation expanded on a large scale around 550 AD. 100% cotton fabric is the textile product that uses cotton as a raw material through a weaving machine, which consists of fabric yarn and warp yarn.

The characteristics of pure cotton fabric are as follows:
1) Moisture absorption,
cotton fiber has good moisture absorption, so when on the skin, people feel softer.
2) Moisture retention,
because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and has the advantage of high porosity and elasticity, it can deposit a large amount of air between the fibers.
3) Heat resistance,
pure cotton textile has good heat resistance characteristic, below 110 ° C will only cause water evaporation, does not damage the fiber.
4) Alkali resistance,
Cotton fiber has good alkali resistance characteristic, this characteristic is beneficial for cleaning the stain and impurities.
5) More health,
cotton is a natural fiber, its main composition is cellulose and a small amount of waxy substance and nitrogenous material and pectic substances.
