Hygiene tips

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating, after using the restroom, after coughing or sneezing, and after touching public surfaces.

Carry a hand sanitizer with you. Make sure the sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol and rub it over your hands until dry.

When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow to prevent the spread of germs. Dispose of used tissues immediately.

Refrain from touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible, as these are entry points for germs into your body.

Take showers or baths regularly to keep your body clean and fresh. Use soap and water to thoroughly cleanse your body, paying attention to areas like armpits, feet, and groin.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time, using fluoride toothpaste. Don't forget to clean your tongue, and replace your toothbrush every three to four months.

Keep your nails short and clean to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria. Use a nail brush to scrub under your nails regularly.

Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces in your home, such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and electronics. Also, keep your living space well-ventilated.

Wash your clothes, bed linens, and towels regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions. Use the appropriate water temperature and detergent to ensure proper cleanliness.

Avoid sharing personal items like towels, razors, toothbrushes, or makeup.

Practice good food hygiene by washing fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption. Cook food to the appropriate temperature to kill harmful bacteria, and refrigerate leftovers promptly.

Keep your surroundings clean: Regularly clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, phones, keyboards, and remote controls. This helps eliminate germs that may be present on these surfaces.

Maintain clean and healthy feet: Keep your feet clean and dry to prevent fungal infections. Wash your feet regularly, dry them thoroughly (especially between the toes), and wear clean socks and well-fitting shoes.

Ensure that the water you use for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene is clean and safe. If necessary, use water filters or boil the water before use.

If possible, use a shower filter.

If you are sexually active, use barrier methods (such as condoms) to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections. Get regular check-ups and screenings as recommended by healthcare professionals.

Take care of your mental well-being by managing stress, getting enough sleep, engaging in regular physical activity, and seeking support when needed. Good mental health is essential for overall well-being.

Sleep with aloe vera on your face to help with scars and acne.

Massage your body with oils and lotions after shower or before bed.

Eat greek yogurt to help fix PH balance, acne and odor in your private area.

Wear cotton based underwear.

Do not treat your body like a trashcan.

To smell good during the day:

Regular bathing helps remove sweat, dirt, and odor-causing bacteria from your body.

Apply antiperspirant or deodorant to clean, dry underarms to control sweat and odor.

You can also use baking soda and lemon to get rid of under arm odor.

Put on freshly laundered clothes each day. Clean clothing helps prevent the buildup of odor-causing bacteria and keeps you smelling fresh.

When choosing clothes, opt for natural fibers like cotton or linen, which allow air to circulate and help wick away moisture from your body. Avoid synthetic materials that can trap sweat and lead to unpleasant odors.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and use mouthwash to maintain fresh breath. Don't forget to clean your tongue as well.

Apply a pleasant fragrance, such as perfume or cologne, sparingly. Avoid excessive application, as it can be overwhelming to others. Focus on pulse points like the wrists, neck, or behind the ears.

Keep your feet clean and dry to prevent foot odor. Wash your feet daily, dry them thoroughly (especially between the toes), and wear clean socks and well-ventilated shoes.

Regularly brush your tongue, as it can harbor bacteria and contribute to bad breath. Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins from your body. Staying hydrated can help prevent the buildup of odors.

Certain foods, such as garlic, onions, and spicy dishes, can contribute to body odor. Pay attention to your diet and make choices that minimize strong odors if you are concerned about smelling good.

Keep a small travel-sized deodorant, wet wipes, or refreshing body spray with you to freshen up during the day, especially in hot or humid weather.

Ensure your clothes, towels, and bed linens are washed regularly. Use a detergent with a fresh scent to keep them smelling clean.

Spray perfume on your brush or use natural oils that are safe for your hair.

Wipe front to back to avoid infections. Use toilet paper then wipes.

moisturize your skin.

When washing your hair, make sure you are using products that clean your hair without drying it out.

Keep feminine wipes with you.

I have a question. I have a very senior mouse (got her in May 2022 from a pet store, unsure of how old she was then). She originally had 4 sisters that she lived with but the last of them passed. I know it isn't ideal to keep one mouse, but due to living situations I'm not in a position to start a new colony. Is there anything I can do for enrichment to keep her happy? She has lots of places to climb and burrow, multiple hides, gnawing sticks, toys, and a wheel she adores. I hand feed her a seed a few times a day and spend time adjacent to her (she's never been a fan of handling). She eats well and is active but I worry about her long-term.

Most likely she was 4-8 weeks old if the pet store was getting them shipped in from a large breeding facility. That's very old for a mouse- the oldest mouse I have personally witnessed was 2 years and 4 months old at the time I saw him (birth date tracked at a research facility so I know it was accurate to within a few days). So you're doing well!

You have most of the bases covered. The only thing I can think to add would be scent-based enrichment (safe herbs/grasses/flowers, safe leaves from trees outside, if there's someone else you trust their husbandry that has mice, something small from their mice like a used chew that she could smell, etc). Soft hides like hammocks, and varying her offered nest material (different sizes/colors of krinkle paper, pulped cotton, tissues/paper towels/napkins in various textures, dried grasses, tissue paper, cardboard etc), are good enrichment.

They also slowly lose the ability to thermoregulate, so giving her a warm spot in the cage like with a small heat source may help improve her QoL as she gets ancient. I wouldn't use a light because that screws up their light cycle but you can get a small piece of reptile heat tape for a few bucks and use aluminum tape to tape it under her cage or along the side. For safety it should be used with a thermostat, and double check with the manufacturer before purchase to ensure it's ok if your cage is plastic not glass.

Utterly Ridiculous

Okay so, as promised, today is sword review day!

Last year, i bought a LK Chen sword, my first one in fact! For those who don't know LK Chen is a Chinese sword manufacturer that specialises in high fidelity replicas of original Chinese swords

Enter the Yan-Ling Dao. so, what is a dao? its basically the equivalent of a European falchion or messer, especially the yan-ling dao, or goose quill sabre; which usually has a (sometimes sharpened) false edge near the point where it narrows dramatically to a honestly somewhat worryingly fine point, as well as one to two fullers (grooves) running most of the length of the blade.

Specifications 

Sword only weight:  approx. 878 g (1 lb. 14.9 oz)

Blade length approx.         69.50 cm  (27.36")

Handle including fitting     18.00  cm  (7.08")

Total length                        87.00 cm  (34.25")

Point of Balance approx.     8.5 cm (3.35") from hand guard

Blade thickness  

at base:                   8.50 mm  

40 cm from base: 5.00 mm  

5 cm from tip: 2.20 mm  

Blade width  

at base:                   33.5 mm  

40 cm from base: 33.0 mm

50 cm from base: 35.0 mm  

60 cm from base: 31.0 mm  

it features wrought iron hilt and scabbard fittings, a (what looks like oak) handle; which is glued and pinned to the tang in 3 places, 2 bamboo pins and a hollow copper pin that allows a lanyard to be attached; wrapped in waxed cotton what is not glued in place, but is however wrapped so tightly that i sincerely doubt it will ever come loose. the sword carries a sun and sky theme with a sun shaped guard and brass decoration around the copper pin. the scabbard fittings match the square handle fittings and feature cloud motifs at the attachment points with copper rivets to continue the colour scheme.

it comes with a wood cored and vegan leather wrapped scabbard that does not retain the sword. i have few problems with this especially concerning that the blade widens until about 2/3 of the way along but it could certainly be a tighter fit. fit aside i have no problems with the scabbard. the general fit and finish of the sword is superb, everything is extremely tight and i could not find a gap or seam i could actually get a fingernail in. the peen is very clean and the hollow copper pin and brass washer are sanded smooth enough you cannot feel them in your grip.

a final thing to note in details is that it comes as standard with a pattern welded blade, and while this doesn't effect the blade performance in any way with modern steels (in fact perhaps decreasing the durability) it is extremely well executed and honestly beautiful to look at, the pattern reminding of ink in water smoke,or perhaps a wood grain. the pattern is very fine and lightly etched, and the overall blade finish is a mirror polish

Onto usage! this is what inspired the title because the bastard thing is absolutely terrifying. its rather forward weighted but still fast and agile, and most importantly, boy does it cut. it's honestly perhaps too good at cutting? bottles? no resistance, even if you significantly bugger it up, wood is absolutely fine so long as you don't go too far, there is almost zero hand shock and due to the fact that the blade is oh so slightly convex, the edge is shockingly durable and like a razor. I've shaved with this sword, and it was bloody smooth. early on i had a small accident with it where it bit through 4 towels, a hoodie and about 6mm into my arm while i was wiping it off with no notable resistance

above is a cardboard tube i cut with it. these make fairly difficult targets as they are relatively hard on the surface and very light, so they just tend to go flying if the cut isn't perfect. this sword doesn't have that problem. it just does it. below is an example of a rising cut where i massively messed up my angle

here's a poplar branch it cut through in one blow (thumb for scale)

it cuts. really well. it also handles very nicely, it feels half way between a very nimble and agile blade that just wants to move, and a blade that desires to be swung into a target as hard as possible with no finesse, and honestly, it does both really well. it stabs extremely well too, i first tested it against bottles and then wood, deliberately twisting the point slightly, and it's still completely straight.

so it's an incredible cutter, it thrusts well, and it's durable beyond what you would expect it to be. so what's the downside?

well, the scabbard just straight up doesn't retain the blade. at all. and the handle is very square. i personally found the handle very comfortable if gripped below the iron fittings, and the handle geometry is certainly beneficial to edge alignment, but it's worth pointing out

Overall, i completely adore it. it's my favorite sword in my collection and the one i'd keep if i had to give up all the others. it's full of character, it cuts like a monster and honestly it's just drop dead gorgeous.

available from the knight shop (uk) or kult of athena (us) for the low low price of £475 (check kult of athena yourself icba)

in conclusion, get it. now. i am no longer asking. i don't care if you aren't a fan of Chinese swords or sabres but it's so magnificent you need one, even if you think you don't

Thank you all for reading my beloved readers, next post will be something? i'm open to suggestions. the next review may be coming in December or January. it might be another dao or perhaps a sidesword???????

May your edges stay sharp, and your points true!

The Role of Hotel Linen Suppliers in Enhancing Guest Comfort and Luxury

Introduction

When it comes to delivering an exceptional guest experience, the smallest details often leave the most lasting impressions. Among these, the quality and feel of hotel linens play a pivotal role in defining the level of comfort and luxury a property offers. Hotel linen suppliers are essential partners in this process, ensuring that hospitality businesses can consistently deliver a superior experience. This blog explores how these suppliers contribute to guest comfort and the overall perception of luxury in the hospitality industry.

1. Quality Linens: The Foundation of Guest Comfort

The tactile experience of fine bed sheets, fluffy towels, and soft bathrobes can greatly influence a guest’s stay. High-quality linens provide the plush, inviting feel that guests associate with premium hospitality. Hotel linen suppliers are the backbone of this offering, sourcing materials like Egyptian cotton, bamboo blends, and high-thread-count fabrics that enhance comfort. By providing durable, well-crafted products, suppliers ensure that every interaction a guest has with linens—from sleeping to bathing—is a luxurious one.

2. Customized Linens to Elevate the Guest Experience

Luxury hospitality is often defined by attention to detail, and customized linens can set a property apart. Hotel linen suppliers play a key role in offering bespoke options such as monogrammed bathrobes, branded pillowcases, and unique color palettes. These personalized touches not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also create a sense of exclusivity that resonates with guests, leaving a lasting impression of your hotel’s commitment to excellence.

3. Sustainability: Adding Comfort with a Conscience

Today’s guests increasingly value eco-conscious practices, even in their choice of accommodations. Many leading hotel linen suppliers are embracing sustainable manufacturing processes, offering products made from organic materials, recycled fabrics, and environmentally friendly dyes. These options allow hotels to provide luxurious comfort while aligning with the values of environmentally conscious travelers, further enhancing the guest experience.

4. Consistency and Reliability: Ensuring a Seamless Stay

Consistency is key to guest satisfaction. A dependable hotel linen supplier ensures that the same level of quality is maintained across every room and guest touchpoint. Reliable suppliers deliver linens that meet strict industry standards, from smooth, wrinkle-free bed sheets to absorbent and plush towels. This consistency creates a seamless experience, reassuring guests that they can trust the property to uphold its high standards.

5. Innovation: Staying Ahead of Guest Expectations

The best hotel linen suppliers stay ahead of trends, introducing innovative products that cater to evolving guest preferences. Examples include cooling bed sheets for warm climates, hypoallergenic materials for sensitive guests, and quick-drying towels for high-turnover properties. These advancements not only meet but often exceed guest expectations, enhancing their overall sense of comfort and luxury.

6. Creating Memorable Stays with Fine Linens

Ultimately, hotel linen suppliers contribute to the creation of memorable guest experiences. Whether it’s the first night spent on ultra-soft sheets or the refreshing feel of a towel after a spa treatment, linens are a constant in every guest’s journey. By partnering with top-tier suppliers, hotels can ensure that these moments are consistently associated with comfort, elegance, and care.

Hotel linen suppliers are far more than vendors—they are partners in delivering exceptional guest experiences. By providing high-quality, sustainable, and innovative products, these suppliers enable hotels to enhance comfort and luxury, ensuring that guests leave with a lasting impression of excellence. In the competitive world of hospitality, investing in the right linen supplier can be a defining factor in elevating your property’s reputation.

Well... colour me disappointed. I've been wanting to tackle maybe making a larger crochet project like a sweater and finally bit the bullet and ordered some yarn to try it out. Went with a mostly-cotton yarn because I do love the weight and drape of cotton. Went with this particular cotton yarn - despite having to pay import and shipping fees to order from the US for it - because I really liked the heathered look it has and figured it'd work up pretty attractively.

I was not prepared for how much finer DK yarn is than regular worsted (when I was previously doing crocheting 20+ years ago all my purchases were in-store and vibe-based so I've only got the vaguest ideas so far on wool sizes and necessary amounts). This 6 skein bundle is supposed to be enough yarn to make either a baby blanket or an adult sweater (852 yards) and all I can think looking at this is "must be a pretty darn small adult".

I am now going back and forth on seeing just how much of the sweater I had in mind this'd actually make (I was already thinking there'd be a good chance I'd need to order a second batch since I am far from a small woman), or to abort and make something like a cowl instead. I suppose I might as well try the sweater first anyway, to give me a better idea of how far this much DK actually goes, and then once I know that, can decide whether I like it enough to either order more if necessary, or frog it and reuse the yarn for something else.

Though I'm very happy with one of the other things I ordered at the same time; a yarn spinner, not as in an umbrella swift or a yarn winder, both of which I already purchased over the summer, but one of those rotating wooden thingamajiggers that has a part that looks like a paper towel holder that you stick through your ball of yarn, and then it hangs via a very strong magnet from a base so that it turns to release more yarn as you work, like so:

Tried it out already and it. Is. AWESOME. Highly highly recommend. I think the only disclaimer I'd make on it is be sure to check reviews, since if the manufacturer skimps on the magnet strength that'd be an issue (I did check reviews, and went with the one that didn't have people complaining about the suspended part dropping loose).

Crimson Ace Reviews: Kamen Rider Gavv Episode 2

This episode reveals why Kamen Rider Gavv is a fantasy show: It portrays corporations as evil, and we all know how false that is, right?

Let's get into Kamen Rider Gavv's second episode: Happy Zakuzakuchips

We pick up right where we left off last week, with a woman named Sachika waking Shoma up. Sachika then offers to take him back to her place for some food.

It's here we get the show's opening theme, “Got Boost?” It's a pretty upbeat theme with some nice visuals. I especially like the one part where Shoma, Hanto, and Sachika are all singing along to the song.

After the opening, Sachika takes Shoma to the store she runs, Hapipare, or Happy Parade. Shoma mistakes a towel Sachika gives him for cotton candy, before being told to go take a shower. Make sure to wash your Gavv too, Shoma.

The next scene properly introduces the season's villains, the Stomach Family. These are the heads of the company which produces the Dark Treats, those things Granute Hound wanted more of last episode. Lango Stomach is the president of the company after the death of their father, Glotta Stomach is the head of manufacturing which involves those shrunken humans wrapped in Fruit by the Foot, Nyelv is in charge of research and development, and the twins Shita and Jeebh are in charge of getting supplies. It's a very effective scene that introduces the villains and gives the audience an idea of their goals and explains more about the Dark Treats. I also love how rather than an evil empire, the villains are structured like a corporation, sort of like the villains from Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Back with Shoma, he helps himself to some of Sachika's food, only to forget the whole “giving birth” thing.

Damn it, Shoma! Do that in the bathroom for Gaim's sake! Or at least see a doctor about your Gavv if it keeps up.

Something of note is when Shoma tries a bento made by Sachika, he doesn't create a new Gochizo, showing that it's only snacks that affect his Gavv. After he struggles to hide the new Gochizo he created (including a few he made from eating potato chips for the first time), Shoma offers to help Sachika help a friend move. Because he has super strength, it's a snap for him, so they celebrate with soba and potato chips.

Meanwhile, Hanto gets a lead on the mysterious monster attack, taking him to Hajime's house.

Oh hey, Hajime. We thought you were dead.

Speaking of monsters, we get our first look at this week's Granute, Granute Whipple.

Damn, Squidward's been hitting the gym.

He gets a new assignment, to target the friend Shoma and Sachika just helped move out.

Back with Shoma and Sachika, the latter asks the former just why he goes so crazy over snacks. He explains that he gets it from his mother.

You know, between this show and Dragon Ball Super, who would have thought junk food would be seen as humanity's greatest achievement by aliens?

After Sachika gives her full name, Shoma starts to reveal his last name, but because it's all but stated that he's a member of the Stomach family, he has to improvise and come up with a name that's less evil.

Okay, not the best person to name yourself after, but at least Toshiki Inoue isn't a mass-murdering psychopath.

Cut to Granute Whipple, who wraps up the friend into the shrunken Fruit by the Foot form, which is seen by two of Shoma's Gochizo. After starting to write in a snack diary, Shoma is alerted to this, so he heads out and confronts the Granute, transforming into Gavv. Granute Whipple tries to bargain with Gavv by offering to split the profits, but Gavv tells him to shove it. Gavv gets the friend back, but his gummy armor is chipped away again, so he tries a different Gochizo, this one labeled “Zakuzaku Chips”.

I like this form. The food motif is much clearer here, and I especially like the touch of his eyes being potatoes that are quickly sliced off.

The weapons, a pair of swords called the Zakuzakuchipslasher, are really creative, looking like crushed bags of potato chips. Hopefully, these things won't break so easily like what happened last week.

In all seriousness, Shoma is just as surprised before he figures out that the Zakuzakushipslasher's effectiveness depends on the angle, and even if they break, unlike the Poppin Gummy armor, he doesn't need to reload another Gochizo to make the blades regenerate. So Gavv goes to town on Granute Whipple, and just like the commercials say about eating chips, you can't just stop at killing one Granute. Gavv saves the friend, but she isn't grateful to be saved by him.

Yes, because clearly the bright blue gummy-themed person is a terrifying monster.

Gavv rides off on his ATV, only to be seen by Hanto. We learn that the reason why Hanto is so obsessed with monsters was because a Granute murdered his mother when he was just a kid. Damn, that's two for two on dead moms this season. Somebody better get Sachika's mom to a bunker.

Just like last week, the episode ends with Shoma deciding to leave Sachika's place to continue roaming the world. Our hero, ladies and gentlemen, master of chewing and screwing.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Shiny New Toy: For the Zakuzaku Chips Gozhizo and the Zakuzakuchipslasher.

No Parents Allowed: For Hanto's mother, who was killed by a Granute.

This was a pretty okay episode. It had some strong character moments, a good introduction to the villains, and hints at future conflicts with the mystery Granute that murdered Hanto's mom. It's a good follow up to Episode 1.

Next time on Kamen Rider Gavv: Shoma continues to scare the public that probably thinks Monster High is too graphic for them, given how he's still being called a monster. But hey, at the very least, he discovers soda-flavored gummies.

8.17.24 / day 55 of being a delusional artist

day 3 of moon time

today (yesterday) was long, it was hot, i did not defend my time as an artist instead, i stretched outward, into the world, missed my apartment the entire time. the time i felt most comfortable, oddly, was during my 9am session with eugene, though that likely means that each event throughout the day merely chipped away at me, bit by bit, until i came home, exhausted, at about 6pm.

day 3 of my period, and everything that touches me feels like a needle, my emotions are like bottled live electricity and can be affected by everything and anything. on top of it all, i am in excruciating pain every so often, and it feels like every time i bounce back from a cramp attack, i am hit by another.

i used to snort coke off of toilet seats and now i am experience an intensely growing fear of plastics and toxic chemicals in everything from my food, to my clothes, my sheets, my towels, my dish ware, pretty much everything. everything is plastic, though, in this day + age, and i have to come to terms with the fact that even if this is a problem that exists and is valid in the world, i cannot afford to replace my entire wardrobe with natural cotton fibers and linens that are non-toxic and have no artificial dyes. i can’t replace every plastic thing in my home, i can’t even afford to buy all organic groceries. that doesn’t stop me from spiraling every time i go grocery shopping, though. it doesn’t stop me from panicking every time i want to eat something that i didn’t make myself (so i don’t, or i do and i immediately become afraid/anxious)

tonight i watched the first episode of the new season of the umbrella academy and in this season, victor (elliot page’s character <3) is a womanizing bar owner that has run through every woman in town (love) and klause (token mentally ill/addicted character) looks to have developed some form of OCD, especially in regards to germs and contamination. He is newly sober in this season, and has transformed into a clean freak, paranoid, control-seeking individual. Is this normal for recovering addicts? To pull a complete 180 and try to control everything in your environment? is it because we know how close we’ve been to death that we want to do anything and everything in our control to prevent it from being not on our terms?

part of me sees how i am living an unhealthy life, but the other part of me just thinks i’m right. it’s hard to tell yourself that you’re wrong when every day there’s a news story about some company/farm/manufacturer’s investigation findings being released on toxic chemicals present (above the legal limit, of course). it’s always the same; some company, whether it be kerrygold (my favorite butter), crocs (my favorite shoes), boar’s head (my favorite roast beef), raw rolling papers (supposedly natural, used them for years), simply made orange juice (literally almost bought the day before the lawsuit went public), or seltzer water (thankfully i hate that shit), it’s always the same. ok, boars head was lysteria, but the rest were all chemicals above the legal limit. arsenic, bpas, bpfs, bpss, lead, piss, whatever. poison in something i’ve consumed, worn, used.

i used to poison myself all the time, though, right? so why should it bother my this much? why does it bother me so much than it did before?

i used to think i was confident, i think i was just vacant, dissociating so much that i could be whatever people wanted me to be i never used to spend this much time thinking about my principles, how my actions, from what i buy, to what i support, to who i support, reflect myself as a person, and how they do and don’t align with who i am. i didn’t used to wince at the perfect drying rack someone sends me in an amazon link because i’m boycotting. i would have just bought it. “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” i would have said. sure, but some consumption is, let’s say, less unethical than others. and maybe i knew that when i was 20, in college, ordering everything for my freshman dorm from amazon because i didn’t have a car and it was easy. maybe i knew that it was unethical and wasn’t who i was as a person, and did it anyway, because it was easy. or maybe i wasn’t this person yet. maybe this person i am now, 7 years in the future, is simply the kind of person who does not do that. and maybe that’s because i got sober, and maybe that was just part of it. the tipping point, between freedom and intention. between chaos and direction. i find it hard to just let go now. the person i am now is holding on tight to rules that do not apply to the person i dream of being. the person i dream of being does not wish to control his world. the person i dream of being flows through the world, and hopes to leave it a little better than when he found it, though i suppose even that is hubris, to wish to change something else. for i know the only thing i have control over changing is myself.

Recycled Cotton

“Recycled cotton can be generally defined as converting cotton fabric into cotton fiber that can be reused in textile products. Recycled cotton is also commonly referred to as regenerated cotton, reclaimed cotton, or shoddy. Recycled content includes recycled raw material, as well as used, reconditioned, and re-manufactured components.

Pre-consumer: includes scraps created by yarn and fabric by-products

Post-consumer: includes garments, upholstery, towels, household items to be repurposed

The largest volume of recycled cotton sources is produced through pre-consumer waste, such as cutting scraps. Post-consumer waste is more difficult to sort through due to various color shades, fabric blends, and it is generally a more labor-intensive process.” - https://cottonworks.com/en/topics/sustainability/cotton-sustainability/recycled-cotton/

Mylium: Mycelium-based leather

“At Mylium we treasure fungi that grow in a thread-like network, called mycelium. Mycelium grows by extending and branching its tips in search of nutrients. The threads hook strongly together and are pressed to form a uniform sheet.” -https://www.mylium.nl/technology/

Hemp fabric

“One of the most eco-friendly aspects of hemp is that it uses very little water, about 1/20th of the amount of water it takes to grow cotton and can often be rain-fed. Hemp can grow in almost all soil conditions, and unlike cotton (which depletes the soil of nutrients) hemp’s deep-reaching roots preserve the topsoil and subsoil. Hemp plants grow densely as well, leaving no room for weeds and competing plants and is less vulnerable to insects, which means little to no use of pesticides.” Hemp fabric is also biodegradable, and depending on where it is sourced from- largely produced by sustainable practices. - https://wearethefabricstore.com/au/sustainability/gots-organic-hemp

Lyocell and Modal: fibres made from sustainable wood

“TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers help to maintain the environmental balance by being integrated into nature’s cycle. The fibers originate from the renewable raw material wood, created by photosynthesis. The certified biobased fibers are manufactured using an environmentally responsible production process. The fibers are certified as [100%] compostable and biodegradable, and thus can fully revert back to nature.” - https://www.tencel.com/b2b/sustainability

Who is The Biggest Producer of Cotton?

Cotton, often referred to as white gold, has been a cornerstone of the textile industry for centuries, woven into the fabric of our daily lives. As demand for cotton and textile products continues to surge, it's crucial to understand the dynamics of global cotton production and identify the leading players in this vital industry. In this exploration, we delve into the question: Who is the biggest producer of cotton? Additionally, we'll discuss the significance of Bulk cotton and wholesale towels in the expansive world of textiles.

The Global Cotton Landscape

Cotton cultivation is a global affair, with numerous countries contributing to the vast supply chain. However, the title of the world's largest cotton producer has been hotly contested over the years. As of the latest available data, China, India, and the United States stand out as the primary contenders for the crown.

China: The Silk Road of Cotton Production

China has historically been a major player in the cotton industry, boasting a long-standing tradition of cotton cultivation. The country's vast agricultural landscape, particularly in regions like Xinjiang, has made it a powerhouse in cotton production. The mechanization of farming practices and advanced technologies have further solidified China's position as a global cotton giant.

India: The Cotton Hub of the East

India, with its diverse agro-climatic zones, is another heavyweight in the world of cotton production. States like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh are major contributors, fostering the growth of high-quality cotton varieties. Indian farmers have adopted modern farming techniques, driving increased yields and enhancing the overall quality of cotton produced in the country.

United States: A Cotton Empire in the West

In the Western hemisphere, the United States has long been a dominant force in cotton production. The cotton belt, stretching across southern states like Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia, has favorable climatic conditions for cotton cultivation. American farmers benefit from cutting-edge technologies and efficient farming practices, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality cotton.

Bulk Cotton: The Backbone of Textile Manufacturing

As the demand for textile products continues to surge, the importance of bulk cotton cannot be overstated. Bulk cotton refers to large quantities of raw cotton, harvested and processed for distribution on a massive scale. The economies of scale associated with bulk cotton make it a cost-effective option for textile manufacturers and contribute significantly to the affordability of cotton-based products.

Within the expansive realm of textiles, wholesale towels carve out a niche of their own. Towels are everyday essentials, and the hospitality, healthcare, and retail sectors rely heavily on a steady supply of high-quality, affordable towels. Wholesale towels meet this demand by offering bulk quantities at competitive prices, catering to businesses and consumers alike.

The Biggest Producers and the Cotton Trade

While China, India, and the United States are the primary contenders for the title of the largest cotton producer, the global cotton trade is a complex network involving numerous countries. Cotton-producing nations engage in international trade to meet domestic demand, and the competition is not just about production quantity but also about the quality of the cotton produced.

China, for instance, not only leads in production but also plays a significant role in cotton imports. The country's textile industry, one of the largest in the world, demands a consistent supply of high-quality cotton, and it sources from both domestic and international markets.

Impact of Technological Advancements on Cotton Production

Technological advancements have revolutionized cotton farming, leading to increased yields and improved efficiency. Mechanized harvesting, precision agriculture, and the use of genetically modified cotton varieties resistant to pests and diseases have become common practices. These innovations have not only boosted production but also addressed environmental concerns associated with traditional farming methods.

Environmental and Ethical Considerations

The cotton industry has faced criticism for environmental and ethical concerns, including the use of pesticides, water consumption, and labor practices. In response, many countries and stakeholders in the cotton supply chain are actively working towards sustainable and ethical practices. Initiatives promoting organic cotton, fair trade practices, and water-efficient farming are gaining traction, reshaping the landscape of cotton production.

Conclusion

The biggest producer of cotton remains a dynamic and ever-evolving competition between China, India, and the United States. The global cotton market continues to adapt to changing demands and challenges, with technological advancements and sustainability efforts shaping the industry's future.

In the midst of this vast cotton kingdom, bulk cotton and wholesale towels emerge as crucial components, supporting the textile industry's demand for large quantities of high-quality raw material.
