Eco-Friendly Fabric Care

laundry clip artWe’re pleased to announced that we’ve officially changed our care instructions for our 100% cotton fabrics, just one of Marcus’ newest environmentally friendly efforts.  Soon, you’ll see the following cold-water washing as the recommended care method on our bolt-end instructions:

“MACHINE WASH  COLD  DELICATE CYCLE  WITH LIKE COLORS ONLY  DO NOT BLEACH, TUMBLE DRY LOW COOL IRON. NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN CHILDRENS SLEEPWEAR”

Cold-water washing reduces energy consumption used to heat the water, and colder temperatures also reduce the levels of lead found in the water.  To learn more about our company’s most recent green efforts both large and small, visit our website.
