WLCI - Tips on Maintaining Cotton Fabrics

To beat the sweltering heat and humidity, choose only cotton fabrics this summer. WLCI Fashion School gives you some tips to do so. Not only how to wear them but, also how to maintain them for longevity. 

Try to hand-wash them, if you are using a machine, separate lighter cottons from the heavier ones and turn clothes inside out. Choose a suitable wash-load. If your cottons have even a hint of dye used, then wash them separately and carefully. Whenever possible, line or drip-dry cottons. If using a dryer, tumble-dry, remove immediately and fold. Adjust the heat on the dryer or you could shrink your cottons. 

Being a natural fiber, cotton may be stretched when originally manufactured so when you wash, prepare to face some shrinkage. Take good care your cottons and wear them and be at ease all through summer.
