Question from Bonnie

I found bed sheets on the bed,bath,& beyond website. The description states micro sanded. What does that mean? Sanded with what? It does not list the manufacturer.

Lisa’s Answer

Sandwashing is a process in which the fabric is put in a container with lava rock, silicone or rubber balls and rotated so the material is brushed to make it softer.  While the process in theory should not add any toxics to the material I can’t say for certain if any chemicals are added to the process.
