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.

I don't know. They are accidentally labeled as "polishing cloths" and they're pretty soft. They shrink though!

It says it is mercerized cotton, which I googled and found it has a polyester additive. So I actually think its deceptive to call it 100% cotton.

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 I called the producers of the product and they said that was an error. They said they were going to fix it, but obviously have not. They claim it is 100% organic.

No, they are not. I worried that only the cotton used to make the sheets was GOTS (because manufacturers can do anything to fabric once they have it, right?). But it's not just the cotton and the dyes, but the fully finished sheet, and even the packaging that are safe, natural, and organic -- everything is independently certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard.

It says "100% Organic Cotton" and "Made in the USA" on the labels, so I believe so.

It's more like sateen than cotton. Smooth an almost organic. We really like our set.

I don't believe so. I wanted 100% cotton with no chemicals, so I'm hoping that I selected the right one. I boiled mine before I used it to remove any "sizing" etc , to make sure it didn't contain anything harmful.

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.

Yes.I only use 100% cotton,because I have found that any man-made product,such as polyester,etc.,cause the fabric to "pill"which becomes rough and irritating,after repeated washing and using a dryer.(I have found that Indian,Turkish,and Egyptian cotton products are superior to those marked MADE IN CHINA.There are some tricks that using cotton thread spun in a different way,or splitting the cotton fiber,can make you believe that you are getting a good deal,but I suggest that everyone update themselves in how the cotton fiber is spun,woven,and actually what the 'THREADS PER SQUARE INCH,"REALLY MEANS TO YOUR COMFORT.THESE SHEETS WERE A GOOD DEAL,AND ARE LIKE SATEEN..VERY NICE.

Info as found on http://www.nrdc.org/living/stuff/guide-greener-fibers.asp ---"Look for certified organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or genetically engineered seeds. Even organic cotton may be dyed using heavy metals and toxic substances. Look for products certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which requires the use of certifed organic cotton manufactured according to low-impact processes (see GOTS sidebar)."

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.

Erica - I purchased it twice for baby shower gifts. Didn't read the tag as to where it came from. Both mothers-to-be loved the blanket - it was so very soft and 100% cotton. I doubt whether they cared if it was certified organic. Hope this helps, sorry if it didn't. Ginny

I don't know if the are all cotton, but they are a really nice fabric that looks to me like it will wear well and washable too. I LOVE this laundry hamper. One of my best investments for around the house in a long time. I'm sure I will have it for years to come. I don't think your can go wrong. I highly recommend it.

I feel that Amazon is wasting time, money and carbon by not stating in the description that this filling is 100% polyester. I wanted an all-natural product, and will have to send this back to them. I'm glad it's in the questions, here, but I didn't completely comb these before making the decision to buy it. It clearly states 100% cotton in the description. Boo!

to the best our knowledge they are. THis is why we bought them, tho i can't say i know a lot about the standards applied and certifications checked! It matters to us because of the cultivation of cotton can be so toxic. They are nice towels though, we were pleased. At first they didn't seem to soak up as much water but when we washed them they were nicer and did. Maybethere was some sizing on them! not sure but they felt nice right away. I hope that helps!
