Spill Your Secrets: Anderson Somerselle
Learn why Anderson Somerselle recommends Fiber-Seal.
Fiber Facts: Cotton
Cotton is a seed hair fiber derived from a bushy annual plant. It is made primarily of cellulose, the polymer that is the building block for the cell walls in all plants. Cotton is classified as a natural cellulosic fiber (as opposed to the man-made cellulosic such as rayon and acetate).

In addition to these fibers, there are a handful of lesser-known natural fibers which are an important presence in the floor covering arena. Four of these fibers are seagrass, coir, jute and sisal.
Why Smart Designers Protect Beautiful Rooms with Fiber-Seal®
Do you protect beautiful rooms with Fiber-Seal? Whether you have a designer shaping a major renovation or you’re installing new furnishings, that investment needs protection. For advice, we turned to designer Virginia Toledo. The founder of the firm Toledo Geller knows the importance of protecting soft furnishings. That’s why she recommends Fiber-Seal so wholeheartedly.
Linen Fabrics... Timeless Look and Luster
Linen is a natural cellulosic fiber derived from the flax plant, Linum usitatissimum. Since it is made from the stem of the plant, it is considered a “bast” fiber (as are jute, hemp and ramie).
Linen samples have been found in the remains of Swiss lake dwellings dating back some 10,000 years. In ancient Egypt, the use of linen is commonly documented in tombs, in pyramid inscriptions and in other monuments. The burial wrappings of the Egyptian kings were also made of linen cloth.
