How To Identify Real Or Fake Cotton Fabric : Nowadays, there is so much variety of clothes available in the markets and shops that it has become very difficult to differentiate between real and fake. Especially when it comes to cotton, many people get cheated. Because cotton is a comfortable, sweat-absorbent and skin-friendly fabric, it is always in demand. However, some shopkeepers take advantage of this popularity and sell fake clothes as cotton. In such a situation, today we will tell you about some easy tricks with the help of which you will be able to identify genuine cotton…
This is how to differentiate between real and fake cotton-
check clothing label
Always check the label while buying clothes from the market or shops. These are the identification marks of the fabric, which clearly tell what kind of fabric you are buying. Choose clothes labeled 100 percent cotton and avoid cotton blends or poly-cotton, which are synthetic fibers.
test the cloth by burning it
To identify cotton fabric, test it by burning extra pieces of cotton. Pure cotton burns rapidly, producing soft gray ash that has a characteristic papery odor. On the other hand, synthetic fibers melt when burned or have a chemical odor.
Identify fake cotton by touch
You can identify a cotton dress from a fake dress even by touching it. Real cotton feels soft and cool. On the other hand, imitation fabric may be a bit sticky or rough, and may stick to the body in the heat.
try pulling the thread
Cotton threads can break easily when pulled because they are delicate. But if a cotton cloth shows elasticity when pulled and does not break, then it means that it is not real cotton.
