Sustainable Waterproof Cooking Apparel

The Waterproof Cork Apron is Eco-Friendly and Easy-to-Clean

— December 15, 2021 — Eco
With the ‘Waterproof Cork Apron,’ cooking and clean-up have been made easier. Cloth aprons get dirty very quickly and can get stained because of the properties of some foods. Since the Waterproof Cork Apron is made of sustainably sourced cork, the wearer can wipe the apron down with mild soap and water. Reiterating one of the most important details of the product, as mentioned on the website, is that “cork is naturally waterproof, antimicrobial, and extremely durable and lightweight.”

The design of the apron gives the wearer full coverage, is adjustable by its waist ties, and has a handy front pocket to hold items while you are busy cooking. The Waterproof Cork Apron is a must-have item for any chef and home-cook.
