How to Care for Organic Cotton?

Organic cotton is one of the noblest elements we can use for an eco-friendly world. No harmful chemicals or genetically engineered seeds are used for its growth, making it ideal for the planet and our long-term health and well-being. Safe, skin-friendly fabrics are essential when it comes to babies and kids. But to play a part in organic clothing, we should learn how to handle this fabric in the best way possible. Here are some ways to care for organic cotton. 

 

How To Wash Organic Cotton

A towel gets wet when you dry off your baby, but that doesn't wash the stains off. Does it? Just like any clothing, and more so if it's organic cloth, you should take caring measures into account. The best way to wash is at a cold or low temperature, a maximum of 30°C. Avoiding heat combats shrinking and color fading (always wash with similar colors). Stay away from conventional softeners and bleach and close to eco-friendly detergent to keep your organic fabrics in top shape.

How To Dry Organic Cotton

Babies tend to be pretty messy, especially when eating. Say you want to wash a bib or cloth after lunchtime. For starters, try to avoid tumble dying since this can damage and speed up the aging process of the fabric. The heat can cause up to 4% shrinkage and even 10% if it’s too hot, so if you decide to tumble dry, be cautious. Hang drying is a way better option, and it saves energy!

How To Remove Stains From Organic Cotton

Stains, stains, stains. What a bummer, right? It’s usually best to wash your baby’s clothes right after they’ve been playing outside or having some delicious melted chocolate ice cream. Preferable with cold to warm water. The thing is, kids usually show up with the damage done. And then you get to work. Apply a small amount of eco-friendly detergent onto a cloth and dampen any organic cotton clothing. It’ll most likely be fine. In case of an extreme stain, you should consider taking the clothes to a cleaner before they get permanently ruined.
