Question from janet johnson
I work in a small preschool, and have just learned that we must use only flame retardant fabrics in our classrooms: window curtains, play cloths, house building fabric lengths, etc. We want to use natural fibers only (our window curtains are silk dyed by hand with plant-dyes) and are looking for non-toxic treatments that will not endanger our children, ourselves and our environment. Any suggestions?
Debra’s Answer
National Fireproofing sells “nontoxic” flame retardants that can be applied to all types of fabrics. I’ve never used their products and there are no ingredients lists…if you try it, let us know.
