Having bought some new piece of clothes you have probably noticed the inscription on the tag which says that the skirt or underwear is produced with the usage of organic cotton. But do you really know what this word combination means? You have probably heard about organic fruits and vegetables which have been grown without the use of chemical insecticides or soil additives. This also concerns organic cotton which is grown without any chemical additions. Nevertheless, after the cotton is gathered from the fields it is sent to the textile mills where organic cotton may be transformed into non organic cotton clothing due to the further usage of chemicals.
People receive organic cotton clothing not only in the result of growing the cotton without chemicals but also due to the chemical free manufacturing of clothes. On practice we may say that any bleach or chemical dyes should be avoided in the process of producing organic cotton clothing. Instead of chemical dyes natural fruit and vegetable ones are applied. So, your new organic cotton underwear which your husband has given you for your birthday was manufactured completely without any chemicals.

After that you go to the store and buy such a chemical piece of clothing, put it on and then wonder why your skin rashes and breakouts. But this is not that serious. In time, particles of chemicals soak into your skin from the clothing and may cause serious health problems.
