/* Properties */
Cotton fiber has good durability and when wetted its strength increases by up to 10%, while the product is shrinking. Fibers with uneven surface make dirt find its way into cotton easy and it will require cleaning at high temperatures to be clean.
The low ductility and elasticity of cotton makes the fabrics wrinkle easily and must be ironed so ironing or mangled mangling may be required after washing. One can increase cotton’s gloss with a special treatment called mercerization that is basically a treatment in caustic soda.
