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.

Most people buy clothes because they look nice, or they fall within their price range. They might have a few cotton t-shirts, but shy away from wool or silk, because they have been branded expensive and difficult to take care of. There are approximately seven natural fabrics used to make garments. Jute is a bit coarse and is, therefore, used to make mats and carpets.

Buying the garments is not enough, you need to know how to properly launder, and store them. If you buy cotton and linens when planning to clean them, refrain from dry cleaning. It is better to hand wash them with hot or warm water. These materials tend to shrink and therefore, you need to properly dry them. With cotton, you should not leave the material to completely dry. You should collect them then iron them dry.

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.

In case you are a bit hesitant to make the switch, you can do it in stages. You can start by buying garments which have a higher percentage of natural fibers in their makeup. Gradually, you will start to enjoy the feeling of these clothes have on your skin, and from here, you can start to completely eliminate synthetic fabrics from your drawer.

After the clothes are clean, you need to store them in a cool and dry environment. You can regularly air your wardrobe, or add some nice smelling substance, to prevent your clothes from getting a musty smell. You might also need to buy moth balls, to prevent the moths from nibbling on your garments and leaving holes.

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.

You might find these clothes at the local boutique where you shop, or you can locate a shop that strictly handles the sale of these clothes. Check online to identify stores like these, or even by asking around from people you know, who own a number of garments made from organic fibers.
