It is amazing how quickly time changes: 20 years ago most of the rugs, bedspreads were made from natural materials, but now the opposite. The number of artificial fabrics is increasing, and not the least among them is polyester. What is that fabric? Many of us are aware of the benefits of natural fabrics, but there are no advantages of artificial materials.
What are they made of?
Polyester - what kind of fabric? Reviews about its use are different, because this material is used in the manufacture of a mass of things. At first glance, the material is similar to synthetics, so cotton and other natural fibers are mixed into it . In view of this, polyester, the price of which is about 240 rubles per square meter, repels water, the skin in it breathes freely and people suffering from allergies and skin diseases can breathe freely. So polyester - what is it? This is a fabric made from substances made from petroleum. In the process of its creation, a huge amount of diverse harmful toxins and other substances is produced. However, after the final processing, the material does not pose any health hazard, at least for a long period of its use no harm has yet been identified. Many things are made of polyester, especially for babies (diapers, nightwear). But in fact, there is no absolute certainty in the quality of the fabric, therefore, when choosing clothes for your family, it is better to opt for more natural materials.

Polyester - what it is, its properties and manufacturing technology, we disassembled. Now let's find out how to handle the fabric properly. You can wash polyester in a washing machine at a temperature of 40 ° C. Before starting, it is better to look at the label with the rules of care - some polyester fibers can only heat up to 60 ° C.

polyester fibers unfolded. Polyester does not need ironing.
