CARE ABOUT COTTON
Washing
Only wash clothes when necessary. Nowadays, we wash clothes too much, unnecessarily destroying the fabric of the clothes, which leads to its premature destruction. There is no need to wash your clothes after each wear, instead let them ventilate in the open air and don’t put them in the closet right away. It is widely believed that hand washing is the most gentle way to clean clothes, which in many cases can cause more problems than washing our clothes in a washing machine. In the case of hand washing, it is often the case that the detergent may not be evenly distributed in the washing water, which can result in stains and discoloration. Do not leave the garment in the water, start washing as soon as you can and rinse it right away. When rinsing, care must be taken to ensure that all detergents are completely removed and do not remain within the fabrics of the garment. After washing carefully squeeze as much water out of the fabric as you can and do not twist it as this may cause the fabric to protrude. We can wrap the cloth in a clean towel and place it horizontally to allow it to dry.
When washing in a washing machine, always follow the instructions on the washing label and wash at the temperature specified. It is a common mistake to overload the washing machine too much so that the laundry cannot be cleaned properly, so be careful not to overload the washing machine with clothes. Note that the washing time and temperature greatly influence how much the garments shrink, after a few washes there is no further shrinkage on the garments. Always wash clothes inside out with pieces of similar color. Always use the right detergents for your garments, preferably environmentally friendly, gentle detergents that protect not only your clothes, but also you and the environment. Be careful with the amount of detergent, do not use more than it's needed. In case of stubborn stains, pre-wash treatment is necessary. Place the garment on a flat bathroom or kitchen towel and pour the appropriate amount of stain remover onto the dirt, then leave it on for the prescribed time and then wash it. The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it will be to remove.
Drying
The most environmentally friendly way is air-drying. Using tumble-dryer prematurely destroys the fabric of the clothes, can lead to fading of the colors and shrinkage of the clothes, and also consumes a lot of energy, which is unnecessarily burdensome for the environment, so we do not recommend using it. When drying in air, it is worth paying attention to the fact that your clothes should be shaped as much as possible in order to avoid distortion of their shape and reduce the formation of creases which helps or even eliminates ironing. Do not dry in direct sunlight as UV light can cause color fading.
Ironing
To protect our clothes and the environment, we should iron as much as needed and for as long as required at the lowest possible temperature. If possible, iron the clothes inside out on a flat and hard surface so that the iron can remove unnecessary wrinkles faster. Clothes should be completely dry before ironing. Use steam if necessary to facilitate ironing. Iron at the temperature indicated on the washing label, otherwise you risk damaging the fabric, fading the colors and shrinking of your clothes. Do not use ironing on decorations, buckles, eyelets, zippers or buttons.
