GARDENA, CALIF. - Softline Home Fashions has signed an exclusive partnership deal with GuardIn Natural Fabric Proection, which uses all-natural technology to make fabric anti-bacterial and flame-resistant as well as stain- and water-repellant.
     GaurdInFresh is derived from all-natural, food safe essential oils and minerals to inhibit the growth of bacteria and associated odors. FlameGuardIn serves as a replacement for deca bromine and antimony oxide treatments that are being phased out. WaterRepellent contains up to 10 times fewer fluorocarbons than traditional water and stain repellants, according to the company.
