Instructions for ecological washing of organic cotton

If there is a stain on organic cotton, treat it before washing with bile soap or olive soap with lemon extract. Cotton fabrics will appreciate washing in Soap Nuts - they stay soft and breathable. Washing at 40-60 ºC is recommended. Precipitation up to 5%. We generally don't use conditioner on natural materials - it sits on the fibers and reduces the absorbency of the fibers. For the final rinse, we use Laundry Rinser, which rinses the detergent residues from the fabric and thus keeps the laundry soft and breathable (not necessary if we wash with soap nuts).

Why organic cotton?

Plain cotton:

• Growing and producing regular cotton has a huge impact on the environment and the people who make a living from growing and producing cotton.
• Commonly grown cotton occupies less than 3% of the world's cultivated area. But it consumes about 25% of all insecticides and 10% of all herbicides produced in the world.
• When growing cotton, chemicals are used that are prohibited for growing food crops
• After growing, the cotton is processed using other toxic substances, some of which remain in the fibers and come into contact with the skin.
• Cottonseed treated with toxic chemicals is processed into animal feed and the oil used to make candy and baked goods
• About half a kilo of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are used to produce a T-shirt and a pair of jeans

organic cotton:

• Organic cotton is grown on organic farms that focus on growing food and cotton according to clearly defined rules
• The use of toxic chemical pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers and genetically modified organisms are prohibited in these organic farms.
• Farms strive to build a biologically diverse agricultural system and maintain soil fertility naturally

The advantages of organic cotton:

• No need to apply toxic chemicals that poison farm workers and harm the environment
• Organic cotton clothing does not cause allergies when worn
• Conventional methods of cotton cultivation are becoming expensive due to rising prices of chemicals
