well if people are using steril cotton balls, and cotton swaps, and cotton bandages those are all bleached products so i dont think this is so bad but i will look around for the lydia's stuff...
Sorry, sweetie..those are NOT bleached
Edit : bah it cut the first part lol
"Raw cotton (gin output) contains cotton fiber along with small plant parts and field trash that are not removed by the ginning process. At this stage, the cotton fiber has a coating of oils and waxes that make it hydrophobic. Raw fiber is suitable for making nonwovens to be used in industrial products in which absorbency and aesthetics are not important. In some cases, nonwoven fabrics made with raw fiber can be wet processed in the same manner as woven and knitted fabrics."
"For nonwovens in which absorbency, whiteness and purity are desired, cotton must be scoured and bleached. Two techniques of commercial scouring and bleaching are kier (vat) and continuous (line) processes. Both processes achieve the same results by the same chemical interactions but with different mechanical handling." Taken from cotton inc.com website...
pretty much what i have learned from using fabric for my medievil reinactments unless it says nonbleached if its cotton you can pretty much assume it has been bleached which i do to be safe.
