Question from petercsantoro@yahoo.com
Unfortunately, one answer I received was that the tags were made of “woven polyester.” What does this mean? Does this mean the whole article of clothing is “tainted?” What about when I wash the clothing? What do you recommend? Should I tear out the tags on the clothing I have?
Thank you for all the great information!
Debra’s Answer
Woven polyester is woven polyester. I’ve seen many natural fiber clothing items have cotton tags. Personally, I would probably just cut the polyester tags out, as I don’t like the way they feel against my skin.
This is not a major toxic exposure, but can be distressing if you are sensitive to polyester. I’m not worried about what happens in the wash.
