Industrial visit to Fabric Spa by FAD and TD students

To give our fashion designing and textile designing students a better insight of the laundry, we visited FABRIC SPA, KIADB PARK, Bangalore in September.

In the market with a strong tagline of “Convenience without Compromise”, they are the masters in their field. Convenience is king and they expect nothing short of royal treatment. Life is customized for your comfort, information, and entertainment available at the touch of a button, no limits on how far you can travel, even cooking and food has been simplified beyond what we once knew them to be!

The same goes for your laundry. Be it detergent, stain remover, bleach, fabric softener.. they’re all composed of a range of chemicals that are invading your system without your knowledge. Common chemicals in laundry products can do untold damage to your lifestyle and health. Their adverse effects are known to be hormone-disrupting, carcinogenic, cause for respiratory problems, and promotion of drug-resistant bacteria strains, developmental toxicity, and even reproductive challenges. In essence, what we are trying to say is, when you choose contemporary living or convenience, you shouldn’t have to compromise. We believe in quality and consciousness at every step.

Students had very enriching experience knowing the uncommon facts about laundry and how important this neglected area is.

Students learned a few ways in which Fabricspa ensures clothes are being laundered in a manner that is environmental friendly:

How to save water and practice rainwater harvesting at the plant.
Use of the majority of organic chemicals and detergents to treat clothes.
