Cotton is a natural fiber material obtained from the cotton plant. It is a very popular material for textiles, especially clothing, towels and carpets.
Some of the advantages of cotton in carpets are:
-
Breathability: Cotton is a very breathable material, meaning it can absorb and release moisture. This makes it particularly suitable for carpets in rooms where there is a lot of bathing or showering, as it can absorb moisture and evaporate it instead of storing it.
-
Easy to care for: Cotton is very easy to care for and is easy to clean. It can be washed in the washing machine and absorbs little dirt.
-
Durability: Cotton is a robust material and has a long service life. If cared for properly, it can last for many years.
-
Environmentally friendly: Cotton grows quickly and requires little water to thrive. So it is an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic materials.
