How to care for 100% cotton

Instructions


Turn your 100 percent cotton clothing inside out before washing. Turning clothes inside out is believed to save wear and tear to your clothes allowing them to last longer, which can help save you money.

Tumble dry your clothes on medium heat. Avoid over drying, which can cause your clothes to wear out faster or possibly even burn your 100 percent cotton clothing.

Follow the manufacturer's care and laundry recommendations for each particular piece of 100 percent cotton clothing that you have. Though washing cotton is similar for most articles of clothing, adhering to the manufacturer for specific water temperatures, or any other details, is always a smart idea.

Remove your clothes from the dryer as soon as they are dry to prevent wrinkling. Folding or hanging your clothes up right away can always save on ironing time.
Hand wash cotton dedicates using a mild detergent and warm water. Let them lay flat to dry on a towel or allow them to line dry rather than putting them in the dryer. Once dry, you may throw your dedicates in the dryer for a few minutes in order to fluff them up a bit.


How to Clean Cotton Fabric

Instructions

Pre-treat any stains on the cotton fabric before washing. Soak dairy, meat or blood stains in cold water, treat tomato and fruit juice stains by working laundry detergent into the stain before washing, and treat grease stains with a laundry pre-treatment stick or detergent.

Turn cotton clothing that is dyed in dark colors or bright pinks and blues inside out. Turn denim items inside out, particularly dark denims. This helps prevent dye bleeding.

Wash similar colors together, keeping white fabrics with whites, and dark colors with other dark colors. Separating helps prevent dinginess on light colors from dye bleeding.

Place the cotton items in the washing machine, taking care not to overload the machine as this inhibits cleaning. Add detergent at the rate recommended on the bottle. Wash in hot water on a normal cycle unless otherwise noted on the fabric's tag.

Dry the cotton fabric in the dryer unless hang drying is recommended on the label. Remove the items from the dryer as soon as the cycle ends and fold or hang them to prevent wrinkling.


Tips & Warnings

Depending on the weave and quality of the cotton, dry cleaning may be necessary. Always defer to the label instructions when deciding the best method for washing.

Do not add fabric softener to the wash or dryer cycles. These coat the cotton fibers and cause stiffness
