Cotton Clothes Care Instructions
Avoid Allergies and Skin Concerns
To maintain the shape and quality of your organic cotton garments, make sure to always care for them properly.
Care for your Organic Cotton clothes:
-You may machine-wash your organic cotton garments at a normal wash cycle setting and at a low temperature (max. 30°C), or cold.
-Use a gentle eco-friendly laundry detergent and avoid conventional softeners as well as bleach, as they can damage the fabric. To further protect your organic cotton garments, always wash them with similar colors and inside out.
-Avoid tumble-drying, as this can speed up the aging of your organic cotton garments, may cause shrinkage, and also uses a considerable amount of energy. Instead, hang dry your organic cotton garments immediately after removing them from the washing machine, and gently shake and re-shape them while doing so.
-In case you really do need to dry your clothes as quickly as possible, you may tumble-dry them using the air cycle (no heat).
-Gently shaking out your garments while they are still damp is often enough to remove wrinkles naturally. However, if you do need to iron your organic cotton clothes, you may do so at a low to medium heat.
Muslin fabric:
Muslin Fabric, known for its lightweight and breathable properties, has a tendency to shrink after washing. However, when you wear and use the fabric, it can stretch back to its original shape. This behavior is due to the nature of the fibers and the weave of the fabric. Here are some key points about muslin fabric properties and care: Muslin fabric often shrinks after the first wash. This is typical for natural fibers such as cotton.
Washing: Use cold or lukewarm water to minimize shrinkage. Gentle cycle settings are best.
Drying: Air drying is preferable. If using a dryer, opt for low heat to avoid excessive shrinkage.
Ironing: If needed, iron muslin on a low setting while the fabric is slightly damp.
How to remove stains from Organic Cotton?
Generally, it’s best to always treat stains immediately by rinsing them with cold or warm water.
Apply a small amount of eco-friendly laundry detergent to a damp cloth and gently dab the stain.
