Question from carolmr

Dear Debra – I have been reading a lot about Nano Tex. It is used on almost everything: clothing, furniture, luggage, etc., to repel stains and water. It is actually built into the fabric, not sprayed on. It has been approved by the EPA. Do you know anything about this?

Debra’s Answer

I haven’t been able to find anything related to health effects of Nano-Tex and I’ve never seen a fabric that has had it applied. As you say, it’s an alteration of the fabric itself, not applied as a finish. Has anyone had any experience with this?
