Washing

• Temperature: Wash cotton garments in cool or warm water to maintain fabric integrity and prevent shrinkage.
• Cycle: Use a regular cycle for sturdier items or a gentle cycle for lightweight or delicate weaves.
• Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent to preserve softness and colour. Avoid bleach unless necessary for white cottons.
  

Drying

• Air Drying: Lay flat or hang cotton garments to dry naturally, helping retain shape and reduce shrinkage.
• Tumble Drying: If using a tumble dryer, select a low to medium heat setting and remove promptly to minimise wrinkling.
  

Removing Wrinkles

• Ironing: Cotton tolerates high heat. Use a steam iron or spritz garments lightly with water for smoother results.
• Steaming: A steamer offers a quick and gentle alternative, especially for lighter fabrics.
  

Stain Removal

• Immediate Action: Rinse stains immediately with cold water to prevent them from setting.
• Gentle Cleaning: Pre-treat stains with a mild detergent or stain remover. Dab gently rather than scrubbing, particularly on delicate weaves.
  

Storage

• Proper Storage: Store cotton garments in a cool, dry place. Fold neatly to avoid creases. Avoid using plastic bags for long-term storage, as they can trap moisture.
