Taking Care Of Natural Clothing Los Angeles

By Deborah Thomas


When you choose to shift from inorganic to organic materials, it should be done in all aspects of your life. From your mode of transport, to what you eat. Buying natural clothing Los Angeles, is also another way to incorporate this change into your daily life. Get specific garments made from linen or cotton, and then progressively change everything you wear.

Normally, when you go shopping, most people pick something that looks good, and fits well. Unless you are shopping for special occasions, or sensitive people, you might not even look at the fabric of what you are buying. The main types of natural fabrics available are cotton, linen, silk, wool, cashmere, hemp and jute. Although some of them might be bit pricy like silk and cashmere, cotton and linen are cheaper, and very easily available.

After you buy clothes made of these organic materials, you need to know how to take care of them so that they can last for long. If you own cotton clothes and you do not wash or dry them properly, they may shrink. You therefore, need to look at the tags carefully. Ideally, you should wash with warm water then tumble dry, or leave them out in the fresh air to dry. With linen, you will need cool water to wash them and when ironing, do it inside out with high heat.

Silk, cashmere, and wool, will need a lot more care. There is the option of getting them dry cleaned, but if it is done wrongly, this could also ruin your clothes. These will need to be hand washed with warm water, and you should ensure they do not stay in the water for long. When drying, first press them with a towel, then let them air dry. When ironing things like silk, you will need to do it on very low heat because it burns easily.

Even when you decide to transition to natural fabrics, it does not have to be a sudden move. You can do it gradually in stages. You may opt to first buy a few items then if you like them, continue to slowly phase out synthetics from your choice of clothes.

How you store your clothes also matters a lot. If you just pick them and throw them all in together. This can be disastrous. If some are not completely dry, they might start to develop mildew and your clothes will smell damp. You can lightly spray the wardrobe or put something with a nice scent at one corner, to keep the storage space smelling fresh.

These clothes are good for your skin, because in most cases, very few people allergic to natural materials. Once you throw them away, they will also easily decompose and therefore will not be a burden to the environment. These materials when well taken care of will last for many years, without showing any signs of wear and tear.

In case you want to start buying this kind of clothing, there are a number of shops in Los Angeles that sell them. You can ask around among friends who own these garments, or even at the shop where you normally purchase your clothes.
