Fabric care introductions

Here are the washing and ironing instructions for different fabric types:

Cotton

  • Washing:
    • Machine washable in cold or warm water.
    • Use a mild detergent.
    • Wash dark and light colors separately to prevent bleeding.
    • Avoid overloading the washing machine.
  • Ironing:
    • Iron while the fabric is slightly damp.
    • Use a high heat setting with steam.
    • If completely dry, sprinkle water on it before ironing.
    • Turn printed or embroidered cotton inside out to avoid damage.

Satin

  • Washing:
    • Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
    • If machine washing, use the delicate cycle with a garment bag.
    • Avoid wringing or twisting; gently squeeze excess water.
  • Ironing:
    • Use a low heat setting (silk or delicate setting).
    • Place a cloth between the iron and the satin.
    • Do not use steam directly; it may leave watermarks.

Rayon

  • Washing:
    • Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
    • Do not machine wash unless labeled machine washable.
    • Avoid wringing; roll it in a towel to remove excess water.
  • Ironing:
    • Use a low to medium heat setting.
    • Turn the fabric inside out to prevent shine.
    • Use steam sparingly to avoid fabric distortion.

Lycra (Spandex/Elastane)

  • Washing:
    • Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
    • Use a mild detergent without bleach.
    • Avoid fabric softeners; they can damage the elasticity.
  • Ironing:
    • Lycra rarely needs ironing due to its wrinkle resistance.
    • If necessary, use a very low heat setting.
    • Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.

By following these instructions, you can ensure the longevity and appearance of your fabrics!
