Cotton

  • Components
    Natural cellulose fiber
  • Properties
    Comfortably soft material with a good absorbency and good strength. Cotton is color retention, machine-washable and dry-cleanable material. Easy to handle and sew.
  • Hygiene And Maintenance
    Cotton can stand high temperatures and takes dyes easily. Chlorine bleach can be used to restore white garments to a clear white but this bleach may yellow chemically finished cottons or remove color in dyed cottons. Boiling and sterilizing temperatures can also be used on cotton without disintegration. Cotton can also be ironed at relatively high temperatures, stands up to abrasion and wears well.
