What is Organic Cotton and How Do I Know Its Organic?
Organic cotton is any cotton that is grown by the methods stated above, or any methods that meet the federal requirements for an organic crop. Additionally, for items to be sold as organic they must have no synthetic dyes or be treated with bleach or any other chemicals. If you’re not sure if an item is organic or not, read the tag. The propagation of organic crops is very strictly regulated and stiff fines await anyone who mislabels a non-organic item as organic, so you can be sure that if the tag says “organic” it is. Organic cotton fabric also has a different feel to it; it’s heavier, softer and breathes better than non-organic cotton and cotton blends.
