CARING FOR YOUR COTTON

CARING FOR YOUR COTTON 

Wash  

Cotton can be machine or hand-washed. Wash at 30° to prevent garments from shrinking. Place delicate items in a mesh bag to help prevent snagging or twisting during machine cycles. Hang cotton pieces to air dry from bottom to top.

Store

Hang your cotton pieces in a dry cool place on velvet clothing hangers. This keeps garments un-creased and in shape, whilst soft velvet hangers prevents pulls.

Care

Despite its durability, cotton clothing can be prone to rips and tears if not cared for. Be mindful of jewellery and bags snagging or creating friction on the cotton garment. If you're comfortable with sewing, repairing rips is a fairly simple task using a needle and cotton thread. You can also take more complex repair work to a seamstress. Reduce pilling by limiting friction. Pilling is easily removed by hand picking, pilling comb, fabric shaver, or trimming scissors. Pilling is not a sign of poor quality, cotton is a natural fibre.
