Question from YH

How do you know if a textile is permanent press or rayon? They seem similar to me. Does rayon emit formaldehyde?

Debra’s Answer

Permanent press is a finish and rayon is a fabric.

Rayon is made from natural cellulose and chemicals. It usually doesn’t have a formaldehyde finish. It is noted on the fabric content tag sewn into the garment.

That a fabric has a permanent press finish is usually stated on the label of cotton fabrics. However, all polyester/cotton blend fabrics have this finish and it is not on the label.
