Cotton is a soft, fluffy, staple fiber that grows in a form known as a boll around the seeds of the cotton plant, a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, India and Africa. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today. The English name derives from the Arabic (al) qutn قُطْن , which began to be used circa 1400.

How to remove strong odors from cotton-poly blend pillows?
Q. I am looking to remove strong odors from cotton-poly blend pillows. I have tried spot cleaning with warm water. It's a decorative couch cushion, not a bed pillow.

A. I would not buy a pillow I cannot throw in the washing machine with detergent, Clorox and then Downy for great smell. Afterwards I put it outside in the sun to dry. You won't want to put a pillow case on it after that.

How can I make a 100% cotton shirt shrink without using the dryer?
Q. I bought a thermal/waffle shirt made of 100% cotton but it says "Hand wash and line dry only." Dry cleaning is ok too. It is a tad too big and I was planning on putting it in the dryer to shrink it just a bit. It has some markings on it that will surely melt in the dryer. What can I do?

A. 100% cotton - hand wash only???Must be the markings on it? I was going to answer hot wash and dry. Return for correct size.
