Things of nature are clean by itself. There are no janitorsin the woods, dusting the trees. While people use various cleaning treatments,nature applies an environmentally benign cleaning strategy. Drops of water onthe lotus leaf shine with a sparkle, washing away the dirt from it more swiftlythan any other plant. Nature has always been a source of positive inspirationto man. Researchers observed that wax and microscopic bumps on the surface ofthe leaf makes it to repel water. Water droplets rolling down from the lotusleaf collects the dirt particles and small insects on the top of the leaf, andeffectively cleans the surface. Lotus leaves, through a complicated micro-tonano surface structure, repel dirt, and water. They found the means totransform nature into technology which gave way for the making of selfcleaning, and soil, & water repellent textiles.

The traditional techniques demonstrated good effects butwere not durable under conditions of intense use. Chemicals were used in theearly 90s to exhibit water repellent character followed by wax later. Chemicallytreated fabrics became harsh and also resulted in a discoloration. Furthermore,there was no wash durability. The new approach has minimized the shortfalls ina significant way. Self cleaning and super hydrophobic micro to nano structuredsurfaces was observed in some plants. A nano-structured surface is created withsuper paramagnetic nano particles. This ferromagnetic fibre structuring withhigh energy magnetic field coil takes place after the spinneret, when thespin-melt is in a thermoplastic state, which allows for the stretching offilament.
