The Traditional Uses of Linen For Keeping Cool in Hot Climates

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Linen is a fabric obtained from the fibres of the flax plant. Linen is descriptive of yarns spun entirely from flax fibres. It is strong, long-lasting and resists rotting in damp climates. It is one of the few textiles that have a greater strength wet rather than dry. It has a long “staple” as compared to cotton and other natural fibres. Flax plants grow abundantly along the banks of the River Nile.

The collective term, “linens”, is still used generically to describe a class of woven and even-knitted bed, bath, and kitchen textiles. The name (linens) is maintained because traditionally, linen was used for many of these items. In the past, the word “linens” also referred to lightweight undergarments, such as shirts, chemises, detachable shirt collars and cuffs, which were historically made almost exclusively out of this fabric.

Bio-degradable Fibers Preserves Environment Around Us

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Bio-degradable fibers as an effective way of reducing the impact textiles have on the environment. Bio-degradation of fibers occurs when their constituent polymers are depolymerised, usually by the action of enzymes secreted by microorganisms. These enzymes act by hydrolyzing or oxidizing the polymer, and can work on the ends of the chains or randomly along their length. To do its work, the enzyme has to be able to bond to the fiber and gain access to sites capable of being oxidized or hydrolyzed.

Saving on Linens For Your Home

I receive Bed Bath and Beyond coupons in the mail approximately once per month. They are usually for 20% off a single item, there are also flyers for $5 discount for items priced more than $15. I would love to use every coupon I receive but that would defeat the purpose of trying to be frugal! If I have a coupon that I can’t use I will share it with co-workers or pass on to friends, who doesn’t need new towels or a toilet brush?

According to the Bed Bath and Beyond website, they do not have online coupons so you do have to be on the mailing list to receive them. I believe it’s well worth the time to sign up and their coupon is usually just a single card so you don’t get a pile of junk mail from them, just a card or flyer.

Organizing Bathroom Linen Cabinets

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Your bathroom linen cabinet can have a nice appearance, and be easy for the whole family to use. All it takes is a little thought and organization.

If you are like many people, your linen cabinet may be in a state of disarray. This is especially true if you have children in your home! Fortunately, there are some tips which will be helpful in getting and maintaining your cabinet in a much more accessible and neat manner.

What Items To Store

The first tip is to assess what types of items you need to stock your cabinet. This usually consists of bath towels, wash cloths, and possibly even cleaning supplies and bed linens. Depending on what you already have on hand and what you will need to purchase, the best rule of thumb is to not have much more than you really need. A good way to look at it is to have a few sets for each individual person, as well as a couple of extra sets for guests.

Linen is a very commonly heard and used word. Broadly and in a more collective sense, linen refers to the fabric that has been widely used for bed sheets, dish towels, tablecloths, upholstery, wallpapers, wall coverings, canvases, window treatments, suits, skirts, dresses, shirts, sewing thread and luggage.

It has been in used since the ancient times for many purposes. The mummies, discovered in Egypt, were wrapped in linen as it was supposed to be sophistication.

Linen Cabinets For Bath Towel Storage

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

One of the secrets of enjoying a soak in the tub with complete satisfaction is to finish off by being able to wrap oneself in a warm dry luxurious 100% cotton towel. But what if you have forgotten to leave a towel within reach or that is cold and damp? That’s the next secret, to have replacement towels waiting in the wings to be used. This is why bathroom linen cabinets are so useful, desirable and ultimately welcome.

While the traditional linen cabinet may have been intended for bed linen, towels also come under the “umbrella” of linen in the modern age. However, if you have just got out of the tub to find no dry towel available, what is the point of having replacements stored down the hallway when you are dripping wet already? You need the towels at point of use; in other words, a purpose designed bathroom cabinet for towels.
