Fabric Wash Care
Proper fabric care can extend the life of your clothes! ✨
Every fabric has unique needs, and knowing how to wash and care for them can keep your wardrobe looking its best.
Here’s a quick guide to washing and maintaining different fabrics:
1️⃣ Cotton
✅ Machine washable (use cold or warm water).
✅ Avoid hot water to prevent shrinking.
✅ Tumble dry on low or air dry to maintain shape.
💡 Pro Tip: Separate whites and colors to avoid bleeding.
2️⃣ Silk
✅ Hand wash with a gentle detergent or dry clean.
✅ Use cold water and avoid wringing or twisting.
✅ Air dry flat, away from direct sunlight.
💡 Pro Tip: Always check the care label—some silks are machine washable on a delicate cycle.
3️⃣ Wool
✅ Use cold water and a wool-friendly detergent.
✅ Hand wash or use the wool/delicate cycle on your machine.
✅ Lay flat to dry to prevent stretching.
💡 Pro Tip: Avoid harsh detergents that strip natural oils from the fibers.
4️⃣ Linen
✅ Machine wash on a gentle cycle with lukewarm water.
