What is the difference between pure cotton and cotton?

When buying clothes, people pay much attention to the fabric of the clothes, and often see signs such as pure cotton and pure cotton. In the eyes of many people, pure cotton and pure cotton are the same thing, that is, the cotton content is 100%. In fact, pure cotton and pure cotton are not the same thing. The biggest difference is the cotton content. For example, a cotton content of 70% can be called pure cotton, but if it is pure cotton, the cotton content must reach 100%.

First, the difference between pure cotton fabric and pure cotton

Pure cotton fabrics are generally made of cotton as raw material, and their cotton content is very high. Fabrics with a cotton content of more than 70% are called pure cotton fabrics. However, pure cotton fabric is generally a special term used for many clothing materials. For example, common pure cotton products are generally divided into many types, including poplin, linen, twill, khaki, serge, gabardine, horizontal tribute, denim, Oxford, youth cloth, threadbare, velvet, etc. Therefore, pure cotton means that the fabric is made of 100% cotton.

In fact, there is not much difference between pure cotton fabric and 100% cotton. Pure cotton fabric is called 100% cotton as long as it contains more than 75% cotton. Therefore, pure cotton fabric and 100% cotton are the same in cotton content. The difference is that some terms are different. Cotton simply means that the fabric is 100% cotton, while 100% cotton means that all the fabrics of the whole garment are 100% cotton. Also, the processing is different. Pure cotton fabric is easy to wrinkle, but 100% cotton fabric is not easy to wrinkle because of the different processing.

Second, which is better, pure cotton fabric or pure cotton?

In fact, there is not much difference between pure cotton fabric and all-cotton fabric in essence. It mainly depends on the degree of shrinkage after washing. Both of them will shrink to some extent. However, relatively speaking, the shrinkage degree of pure cotton fabric is relatively larger, and pure cotton fabric is easier to wrinkle, and the wrinkle degree of pure cotton is not as serious as that of pure cotton fabric. Therefore, in simple terms, pure cotton is relatively better, but there is not much difference in essence.

Third, the advantages of pure cotton fabrics and all-cotton

Both have the same advantages and are healthier for the body. Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, whose main component is cellulose. It has no irritation or negative effects when in contact with the skin. It is beneficial and harmless to the human body when worn for a long time and has good hygienic properties. And the moisturizing, heat resistance, alkali resistance and warmth retention properties are all very good.

Fourth, cleaning methods for pure cotton fabrics and pure cotton

Do not use hot water when washing pure cotton fabrics and all-cotton fabrics. The water temperature should be controlled below 35℃. They should not be soaked in detergent for a long time, and should not be ironed at a temperature higher than 120 degrees, exposed to the sun, or tumble dried. It is best to wash by hand. After washing, make sure to cool in a cool place, lay flat or use a round stick type clothesline. After it has dried, it is best to take it out and blow it again every half a month. This way, you should pay attention to maintenance regularly and its service life will be longer.
