How to care for your Cotton fabric.
* Can be easily laundered. Cotton can withstand high temperatures (boiling water does not hurt the fiber).
* Machine wash warm, tumble dry low. Use cool iron.
* Any good detergent can be used to wash cotton.
* Chlorine bleach can be used safely on cotton whites. Use color-safe bleach on dyed cottons.
* Since cotton fibers are fairly inelastic, they may wrinkle easily. Fabric may need frequent pressing.
* Cotton fabric can be treated with a wrinkle resistant finish to create a more resilient fabric/garment.
(The label will tell you if this finish has been applied)
* A higher heat setting is needed in the dryer. (Cotton takes longer to dry than less absorbent fibers)
* Can be ironed with a hot iron, and does not scorch easily
(For specific instruction refer to the garment's sewn-in care label.)
