With the global shift toward things which are renewable and biodegradable, the world of fashion has also started making changes. This can be easily seen with increase of people turning to natural clothing Los Angeles. Natural materials are being used to make almost any garment, be it bags, trousers or sweaters.

Normally, when you go shopping, most people pick something that looks good, and fits well. Unless you are shopping for special occasions, or sensitive people, you might not even look at the fabric of what you are buying. The main types of natural fabrics available are cotton, linen, silk, wool, cashmere, hemp and jute. Although some of them might be bit pricy like silk and cashmere, cotton and linen are cheaper, and very easily available.

When you buy the clothes, as long as you know how to properly clean them you will be fine. If you own cottons and linens, you will notice they are cleaned almost the same way. Use hot or warm water to wash them, and then tumble dry or let them air dry. Unless the cotton is preshrunk, it might shrink on cleaning. With linen you will need to let it dry completely, then press it while inside out.

Silk and wool are also very sensitive fabrics. If they are of good quality, your garments might be quite pricy and you do not want to go at a loss, by damaging them. They should both be hand washed with cool water and left out to dry. Using bleach or any strong detergents may also ruin the materials.

In case you are a bit hesitant to make the switch, you can do it in stages. You can start by buying garments which have a higher percentage of natural fibers in their makeup. Gradually, you will start to enjoy the feeling of these clothes have on your skin, and from here, you can start to completely eliminate synthetic fabrics from your drawer.

You should store all your items in an airy drawer. This will prevent them from smelling damp and musty. It is also advisable to hang moth balls in your closet, to keep moths from eating your clothes. Natural oils or leaves from plants like lavender can be strategically placed in your wardrobe. This way when you take out your clothes, they always smell fresh.
