This will certainly help towards you doing your bit to help our environment.

Flammable Fabrics – Why are Certain Fabrics More Flammable?

When looking at the list of the most flammable fabrics, there is a clear reason why these fabrics are responsible for so many fires. The common denominator is a basic compound used to produce the fabric called cellulose.
