Advantages and disadvantages of using cotton

A standard poly Rayon
Fabric
cotton mix used in the manufacture of bed sheets, pillow cases and
blankets would be 65% polyester and 35% cotton for comfort and
durability.


Let me offer advantages and disadvantages of using cotton or
polyester alone:


Cotton is light and cool in warm climates. It is easy to clean
and care for. It is hypoallergenic and will not cause skin rashes. It is
breathable and will keep you cool in very warm climates.


The disadvantages are that when washing you should wash in cold
water and dry on low heat but don't keep it in the drier for a long length of
time. Cotton will have develop static when dried in a drier.


You will have to separate the dark and light colors and wash
separately and will have to iron cotton materials with high heat and
steam.


Polyester is a strong durable and long lasting fiber. When
washed it will easily maintain its shape. Polyester will wick away moisture in
very warm climates but will not breathe like cotton.


It will keep you warm in cold climates. It may not be best for
sensitive skin and should be used for heavy use clothing and bedding.


Polyester when washed will not need very much ironing, but if
you must iron it use low heat so as not to melt the
Crepe Fabric fiber. Remember it is made
from petroleum.
