Question from Stacey
Is it okay to wash synthetic clothing and all natural fiber clothing together? Does it matter? I have been separating all my wash (even socks) into natural fibers and those with synthetic materials and think I might be going too far… Thank you!
Debra’s Answer
You don’t need to wash them separately, but why are you wearing synthetics? I’m more concerned about you wearing synthetic fibers with formaldehyde finishes than how you wash them.
Do what you can to get ALL your clothing to be natural fiber and washing won’t be a question.
I should have clarified – I do only buy all natural fiber clothing now for my family except I have had a very hard time finding socks without a blend of synthetics. I did find a company in the U.K. that makes 100% cotton socks, but they are very expensive plus there are the extra shipping fees.
Is there a website/company you recommend where we can find socks without a synthetic blend (for adults and/or children)?
Thanks!
COMMENT FROM DEBRA:
Here is one…there are probably more, but finding them takes more time than I have at the moment. Readers, if you want to do some searching, please post your results here. Only 100% cotton without nylon or spandex or latex or elastic.
