Five Things You Should Know Before Buying Organic

With over ten years in the organic infant and children's apparel industry, Janice Masoud, President of Under the Nile, says consumers should be educated before buying organic products to be sure the goods they purchase are truly organic. Masoud offers these five tips:
1. Only cotton fiber identified as .certified organic. truly follows an organic process from start to finish.from planting and growing the cotton to spinning, weaving, dying, and sewing the garment. Products that say, .natural,. .pure,. or .green,. indicate that no toxins, dyes, bleaches, or finishing treatments were applied to conventional (non-organic) cotton.
2. Clothing made from organic fiber should be washed in an all-natural laundry detergent to maintain the benefits of buying a chemical-free product in the first place.
3. Organic clothing does not have to be oatmeal-colored or tie-dyed to camouflage the yellow tinge sometimes indicative of naturally-grown cotton. Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleaching agent that can be used to whiten organic fibers and with all-natural, low-impact dyes, organic clothing can be made just as fun and colorful as mainstream clothing.
4. Don.t sacrifice comfort, fashion, or price to buy organic. Although organic textiles are traditionally quite soft, organic clothing hasn.t always been stylish or cost-effective to buy. But thanks to increasing consumer interest in organic products, manufacturers are designing clothing that looks as good as it feels and selling it both in specialty stores and mass merchandisers at an affordable price.
5. For the purist, notions such as buttons and zippers can also be made from organically-friendly elements such as wood, shell or nickel-free metals.
