Cotton fabric is a natural textile derived from the cotton plant, specifically from the seedpod, known as the boll, which contains fluffy fibres. The fibres are harvested, cleaned, and spun into yarn before being woven or knitted into fabric. Cotton fabric is recognized worldwide and forms the basis for a large portion of the global textile industry.

1. Breathability: Cotton fabric is breathable and transmits moisture away from the body. It is absorbent and removes liquid from the skin, like a towel, ensuring comfort for the wearer.

2. Durability and Strength: Cotton fabric is strong and durable, which makes it suitable for heavy-duty work clothes as well as delicate, luxury garments.

3. Hypoallergenic: Cotton is hypoallergenic and does not cause any irritation or allergies, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin.

4. Versatility: Cotton fabric can be woven or knitted into a variety of weights, textures, and finishes, offering a wide range of textile options for various applications, from lightweight cotton voile and lawn to mid-weight poplin and twill, to heavyweight denim and canvas.

5. Easy Maintenance: Cotton clothing is generally easy to care for and can be machine washed and ironed at relatively high temperatures.

6. Thermal Insulation: Cotton clothing provides good thermal insulation by trapping air between the fabric fibres. While it keeps you warm in the winter, its breathability makes it comfortable in the summer as well.

7. Weather Resistance: Cotton fabric is resistant to moths, is unaffected by sunlight, and can withstand high washing and ironing temperatures.

8. Environmentally Friendly: As a natural product, cotton is biodegradable and a renewable resource. During growth, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere and can be grown organically without the use of harmful chemicals.

Maintaining the quality of cotton fabric requires attention to washing, drying, and ironing. Here are some guidelines to take care of your cotton garments effectively:

Washing:

1. Check Labels: Always check the care label on your garment before washing. It will provide specific instructions for the best care of that particular item.

2. Pre-treatment: Treat any stains before washing. Spot treat stains with a stain remover or heavy-duty detergent.

3. Water Temperature: While cotton can often withstand higher temperatures, using cold water can help prevent shrinkage and color fading. Some cotton fabrics may require warm to hot water, as indicated on the care label.

4. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. For white cottons, occasional use of bleach can restore brightness. However, make sure to never use bleach on colored or dyed cotton fabrics as it may cause them to fade or discolor.

5. Machine Settings: Select a gentle cycle for delicate cotton fabrics to prevent damage. Heavier cotton materials, such as denim or towels, can tolerate regular or heavy-duty cycles.

Drying:

1. Air Dry: Whenever possible, air-dry cotton garments to maintain their shape, size, and color over time. Laying flat to dry can help prevent stretching.

2. Dryer Use: If using a machine dryer, remove the clothes while still slightly damp to reduce wrinkling. Then, hang or lay them flat to finish drying.

3. Shrinkage: Note that cotton can shrink in the heat of the dryer, especially if the garment is 100% cotton. If you're concerned about shrinkage, air dry your cotton clothing.

Ironing:

1. Heat Settings: Cotton can generally withstand high heat, but check the garment's care label to verify. Begin ironing on the wrong side of the garment, and if necessary, you can iron on the right side.

2. Steam Iron: Use a steam iron if possible, especially on heavier cotton fabrics. The steam helps remove wrinkles more effectively.

Storage:

1. Avoid Hangers: Store cotton clothing in drawers or shelves. Heavy cotton garments, like sweaters, should be folded rather than hung to maintain their shape.

2. Moth Protection: While cotton is naturally resistant to moths, if you're storing cotton garments for an extended period, consider using a natural moth repellent for added protection.
