Question

Discuss two products each made from natural and man – made fibers and give two reasons
why sorting should be done before washing clothes

Answer 1

Natural and Man-made fibers

Natural fibers are fibers made by nature. Typical examples are cotton and wool, which are mainly used in textile clothing but there are many often natural fibers produced in smaller quantities such as e.g. silk, flax, or hemp. Man-made fibers are fibers made by man. Man-Made Fibers can be organic or inorganic. They are made from various chemicals or are regenerated from plant fibers. Examples of manmade fibers are polyester; polyamide – (nylon); acrylics; viscose, made from wood bark; Kevlar, a high-performance fiber; and Nomex, a high-performance fiber.

Natural fibers

COTTON

• It is well known that cotton is the most commonly used fiber alongside polyester.
• It can be made or blended with other fibers to make many fabrics, from lightweight voiles to heavier canvases.
• Being a natural fiber it has to be grown on the cotton plant and picked in the form of a white fluffy ball (known as a boll) from around the cotton plant seeds.
• Each boll contains up to 20,000 staple fibers.
• Cotton is very breathable which is comfortable to wear especially in hot weather so that moisture can escape.
• Cotton can hold up to 27 times its own weight in water, but this also means it takes a long time to dry.  

JUTE

• Jute is one of the cheapest natural fibers to produce.
• It comes from the jute plant and is also one of the fibers in a category known as bast fibers.
• The properties of jute can vary depending on the climate and region the fibers have come from but it is often produced in India and Bangladesh.
• It is a hard, long, soft, shiny, coarse, and strong vegetable fiber.
• It is environmentally friendly.
• Jute is a good insulating fiber and has low thermal conductivity.
• It also blends well with other fibers.

Sorting should be done before washing clothes

1. Sorting clothes allows you to use different wash cycles (delicate, normal, permanent press) and also allows for washing in different temperatures. Most importantly, sorting clothes decreases the chances that a garment is going to bleed onto another when you control the cycle type and water temperature.
2. There are many upsides and advantages to separating clothes by fabric and color, mostly to avoid shrinking and unwanted coloration.
