Put Down that Iron

Posted September 05, 2007 8:18 AM by Sharkles

Imagine a wrinkle-free, stain-free outfit that is also comfortable. Well, there is no need to imagine. Natasha Newsham, a student from the University of Leeds, developed a treatment for wrinkle-free stain-free fabric that is said to feel exactly the same as untreated material. Newsham's treatment is environmentally friendly to boot. You can get additional information about the treatment from Newsham's demo Web site: www.newt-ltd.co.uk

For a moment I had the vision of a knight in armor or a poor woman in a Chasity belt.

I suppose armor did not wrinkle but surely it crumpled.
