Cotton is a soft natural fiber. It is breathable and comfortable, and cotton products are easy to care for. They will retain their pleasant properties when you follow these simple instructions.
The proper washing method can be checked from the care label attached to the product. If there is a line under the washing symbol, it guides you to select a gentle washing cycle and a low spin speed. Also check the recommended load level for the washing cycle – washing too much laundry at once may impair cleaning and increase wrinkles.
Follow the recommended washing temperature. Washing at too low a temperature may cause unwanted color transfer. It’s advisable to wash the products inside out to minimize the impact on the fabric’s surface and colors.
A cotton product may shrink in the first wash. It’s advisable to straighten cotton garments after washing. Cotton is best ironed on the reverse side when slightly damp.
Some dye may come off cotton products, especially in the first few washes. Dark and brightly colored products should therefore be washed separately or with similar colors in plenty of water. Soaking is not recommended for hand-wash cotton garments.
