I bought your 100-Percent Organic Cotton wash cloths. The label says "100% Combed Organic Cotton Loops" can you please explain what that means?

It refers to how the towels are made. The cotton yarn is either carded or combed. I'm not sure if Amazon allows for offsite linking so I'm going to quote from another website. It is just a basic summary so if you would like more detail just search " combed vs carded cotton"."When cotton or another fabric is "combed," the shortest, additional fibers of a batch are removed. The result produces high-quality, extra soft yarns with excellent strength and softness. Combed cotton uses finer fiber than carded yarns and is more regular and expensive than carded yarn" It refers to how the towels are made. The cotton yarn is either carded or combed.

I assume that the fibers are looped rather than just cut short, so there should be less fraying. We like the towels very much.

Hello Sarah, this is an organic product, meaning done with natural ingredients. That's why the description its correct.

I think if a company says they are 100% organic pillows and they lie, they are breaking a law. I don't know if they are GMO. I love the pillows and I covered them with an allergy 100% organic cotton cover, and a 100% organic cotton pillow case.If you BUY one and bring it for testing, please let me know if they were lying about organics.

Wow, RS, thank you so much for starting this thread. I'm allergic to most polyester fill and fabric (asthma and contact dermatitis) and was thinking of buying it only because they stated it was 100% cotton shell and fill. All cotton is hard to find at this sale price so I was going to buy it as a back up to my current one that's really held up well in 1.5 decades of use.

Hi there, we sell this product as TurkishLux and we are selling a 100% cotton product. We believe the listing to have a typo, likely due to copy/paste error by the creator. You will see the 100% cotton information on the towel itself as well.

Well, it says "natural" a few places on the package and says: "is made of 100% durable,lint-free,cotton and that's all- no bleach, no additives." Nothing about GMO's. or Organic.

I'm sensitive to most organic cotton and can't wear it if there's a smell. There was only a 'line dry' smell to it (I think it was line dried, literally), which I am sensitive to, but after sticking between a hand towel w/ a little of my detergent and water for a day, then doing it w/ plain water the next day, I had no problem and have been using it for 5 months now. :)

They're cloth, almost like tshirt material so if you really wanted to, you could run then through the washing machine and try to use them again. I have not done that just because it takes so long to get enough to add to the wash and to have to keep them around until you're ready to wash them. If you're buying for a gift, I would go with regular cheapy trusted patches. If you are OK with holding on to dirty patches until you are ready to wash them and are OK with the extra work, buy these. They're no better than regular patches though besides the fact that they can be washed.

I have done a lot of research into that ,they are made by a company called Aunt Martha's although they all come with a tag 100% cotton ,made in india . Now I am not sure if the cotton is grown and milled there or if they actually make the towels . They are well made and very durable when used and washed . I myself have been trying to find where I can get them wholesale rather than retail ,cost is killing me, lots of work and little profit embroidering them. But haven't had any luck finding anyone but Amazon who sells them cheep enough. There is another company that sells wholesale towels called Hoffmen but they sell only terry cloth and the few that are not are linen only.

I just received mine, and the tag says "100% nylon." As soon as I opened the package and felt it, I thought--no way could this be any % cotton. Very disappointed.

I only have the organic and they wash up well. They are soft and work very well. I don't know about thread count but organic is way more important to me than thread count. I wouldn't think there is much if any a difference though.

Yes they are labeled. To be honest, I am not a big fan of E-cloths. I was excited about the price but you get what you pay for. However, I am a huge fan of NORWEX. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Norwex cloths!!! The are more money but totally worth the price!

I order 100% cotton and I assume that this is what I received..... I am using the material as a small drape and it works well

it says cotton on the bag and tag... its woven with hard nylon strings that scrub the dirt and grime from your body... however i found that this is inconsistent.... you could get one that's hard while another feels like a scratch wash cloth or doesn't feel like anything at all. i bought four of them and there's no indication on the package of their 'intensity'. though i do like them you're better off with another brand if you want consistency in your product.

I believe there is a bit of marketing at play here. The current description reads "100% Egyptian striped..." It does not say "cotton"! Most people assume, when sheets are described, that cotton is a given with the word Egyptian. Not so in this case. P.S. The sheets are inexpensive but they are wearing well so far.

I really love these bags and they come to $3 a bag. I am reading more about pesticides in cotton so wanted organic cotton for my organic fruits and veggies since I am investing a little more with my health in buying organic produce. They have a drawstring. If you buy these be sure to purchase only from Simple Ecoloogy. I also bought their organic grocery bags to put these organic produce bags in right from www.simpleecology.com.

I can only tell you what the tag says, which is, "Front 100% Cotton - Back 100% Cotton - Filling 100% Cotton". I have no reason to doubt it. It feels and looks like cotton, but I have no allergies to other fabrics, so can only take their word for it! Hope this helps.
