Non Organic Cotton Batting

by | Mar 16, 2010 | Q & A | 1 comment

Question from ruhajj

I have several yards of non organic quilt batting that is unbleached. do you think that there is any residual pesticides after washing?

Debra’s Answer

Yes! This is not my opinion, this was lab tested in Germany. Non-organic cotton batting retains pesticide residues. Non-organic fabric does not.

    Hi,

    Does that mean if I have a quilt with nonorganic cotton batting in it, that washing it many, many times won’t rid it of the pesticides?

    COMMENT FROM DEBRA:

    Yes.
