Fabric Facts: Mastering the Art of Spotting Genuine Cotton

Determining whether a fabric is 100% cotton can be essential for ensuring comfort and quality. At Winner Nonwovens, we provide high-quality 100% pure cotton fabric and soft cotton material, helping consumers make informed decisions when selecting textiles.

 

 

Look for the Label

The easiest way to identify 100% cotton fabric is to check the label. Most reputable manufacturers will provide detailed information about the fabric composition. Look for labels that explicitly state “100% cotton” or “100% pure cotton fabric.” If the label includes percentages that indicate blends with other fibers, such as polyester or rayon, then the fabric is not purely cotton. Additionally, certifications from organizations like the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) can assure you of the fabric’s purity and organic status.

 

Conduct a Burn Test

If the label is missing or unclear, a simple burn test can help you determine the fabric type. Take a small piece of the fabric and carefully burn it in a safe area. 100% cotton fabric will burn easily, producing a fine ash and giving off a smell similar to burning paper. In contrast, synthetic fibers will melt and produce a different odor, indicating they are not purely cotton. However, proceed with caution, and ensure you are in a safe environment when performing this test.

 

Conclusion
