Sustainable Face Masks - Protecting You and The Planet

Sustainable Face Masks - Protecting You and The Planet

The year 2020 will go down in history for several reasons, with Covid-19 being at the top of the list. The pandemic brought about many changes as to how we live, one of such is the inclusion of face masks as part of our daily dress code. Workers in restaurants, schools, recreational centres and other public places are being mandated to use protective face covering whilst at work to help curb the spread of the virus.
As a result, Cream Collection saw the need to produce reusable fabric face masks from organic cotton that can be used by workers in public spaces. Made in Australia, our organic face masks have received international attention, with places like California and the UK now ordering theirs.
Here are a few reasons why the reusable face masks are more beneficial than disposable ones.

 

Benefits Of Fabric Face Masks

1. They are reusable:

Our fabric face masks are not only safe to use, but they are also economical and cost-effective.They can be washed and sanitised at high temperature, making them fit for further use. This provides a lasting and sustainable solution for restaurants and cafes in need of a hygienic and effective way to keep their staff and customers safe.

Furthermore, a filter for oil or coffee can be inserted as an extra protective layer, and the replaceable nose strip makes it easy to adjust the mask to fit your face. This feature is ideal for those who wear glasses. With the fabric face masks, you won’t have to buy a new one each day
as it is reusable — they go a long way to save you costs in the long run.

 

2. They are Environmentally friendly

What better way to ensure our protection than using the fabric face mask? It does not only
guarantee protection but is also highly environmentally friendly. Our fabric face masks are made from organic cotton that allows them to be recycled, unlike disposable or surgical face masks.
They have elastic bands attached to them and are designed to be biodegradable when disposed of.

 

3. They keep you and those around you safe

Our fabric face masks are just as effective as surgical ones. They are resistant to droplets, and they function as a protective cover for your mouth and nose and also a barrier between you and those around you. This prevents tiny droplets, through which the virus spreads when an infected person sneezes or coughs, from making contact with you while you go about your duties and
talking to people.

 

4. They are comfortable and easy to use

Another great benefit of using a fabric face mask is the comfort and ease of use it provides. Our face masks are created with a special stretch material that enables the mask to fit your face perfectly. We use a 100% organic cotton in producing it, making the fabric hypoallergenic, easy to breathe through, comfortable to wear and soft against your skin. The elastic strands made for
your ear have a moveable toggle that allows you to adjust the strands to fit your head. When not in close proximity with others or use, our masks can be pulled down to the neck and pulled back up when necessary.

 

Conclusion

Our reusable and sustainable fabric face masks at Cream Collection are both safe to use and cost- effective. Restaurateurs and business owners around the world realise how beneficial organic cotton cloth face masks are, and so should you.
If you are interested in a protective face mask that is comfortable to wear, environmentally
friendly and also economical, our reusable face mask is just what you need. Contact us at CREAM COLLECTION to order yours today.

Customer photo review of Super Slick Men's Chef Shirt

Whether working the grill, pass or larder. You are always going to look good in the shirt. Comfortable & cool (if you are standing over a coal grill for 12hrs you are gonna sweat no matter what you wear). Always feel proud rolling into a shift in one of these.

Apron Mystery Box — Pack of 2 Aprons

Store owner replied: Hi Jullo, we are sorry to hear that you are disappointed, but there are numerous images of the "Mystery pack colour combinations" and as it is a Mystery pack with a saving of $32, is no specific colour that you can order. There are numerous images of the various colour combinations for this product, so it is a "mystery pack" as to what colour you will receive.

Apron Taylor - Denim - Chef Apron

Store owner replied: Hi Phillip, thanks for taking the time to leave your comment - glad that you appreciate the quality of the apron which is made here in Australia. You're absolutely correct, this is lightweight denim as we mention on the website. Although it feels lightweight, these aprons last for many years and are absolutely loved by our chefs and I hope that they'll become a firm favourite of yours too. I'm here to assist with any questions you may have.

Very comfortable to wear!

Jo Bib Apron – Organic Cotton for Professional Chefs

Store owner replied: That's great to know that the aprons are comfortable to wear, thanks Nika, your comment is very much appreciated.

I was excited to order and  received my 100% organic cotton chef Jackets and Aprons but was disappointed to find that there is a 2% spandex (Lycra) which takes away from the organic that you promote so strongly. Is there a reason for this and why isn’t it on your website under fabric content. As far as I know the addition of spandex to your products takes it away from the circular economy as it is a synthetic material and makes the whole garment no recyclable. I have been a chef for over 30 years and don’t think I have ever come across a chefs Jacket with spandex in it (polyester yes) A good fit should make putting a stretch material unnecessary.

Premium Men's Chef Coat Short sleeve

Store owner replied: Hi Sion, Thank you for your review. You are 100% correct, and I personally take full responsibility for this. We have added the fabric content this morning on all products. I can assure you we don't intend to mislead anyone - it was an oversight when changing the product descriptions recently. The 98% cotton is certified organic cotton. The 2% addition of spandex is woven in as when we worked with chefs to develop the collection, they wanted an element of stretch in the garments to allow the garments to be more tailored but move with the wearer to make them super comfortable. I will also email you directly to assist further.

Super Slick Men's Chef Shirt

Store owner replied: Thanks Bea for your 5 star review, glad you love the comfort of the chef shirt. Enjoy!

I purchased the white Jo apron. Great quality apron, however the design was slightly different from the other photos of the same apron in different colours. I would prefer the pen pocket to be straight at the top (rather than slanted) and from an aesthetic standpoint I wasn’t fan of the round ring on the neck strap (but that’s probably me being picky)

Apron Jo - Chef Apron

Store owner replied: Hi Andrew, Thanks for your 4 star review. I'll contact you about the images as the image of the white apron is as per the image on our website. The reason the pocket opening is slanted is that it is designed for ergonomic reasons, but we understand that every wearer has their personal preferences. Hope you are enjoying the comfort and fit of the apron. Thanks again.

Great apron
