Care for products of cotton

The products of colored cotton shouldn’t be washed at a temperature of up to 60°C, and the thin colored linen - at a temperature of up to 40°C. For laundry products from white cotton use universal cleaning materials for soft-colored cleaning supplies and funds without bleach. Drying in the washing machine or other drying devices can cause severe shrinkage and damages to the cloths. Cotton dries very long after washing. The best way is to hand it out in a vertical way. If you want to wear them but they are still little wet, you can dry them by using delicately iron in “wool” regime. And something important – don’t iron your cloths till their absolute drying. Cotton cloths can also be dried in a washing machine but don’t forget that there is a chance for them to become smaller size. This mistake can be fixed by ironing the cloth with a steam iron.

Care for products of flax

The product of the flax salted, but not as much as cotton. The colored fabrics are washed at approximately 60°C and the thinner ones at 40°C in the economical regime of the washing machine. If you wash it in the machine, then you can wash linen universal washing powder. For the colored flax fabrics you should use powder for thin fabrics without bleach. When dried in oven device, flax can get narrower. Articles of flax can give shrinkage after washing. It is good to use spray with water or steam during ironing the flax fabrics.

Care for products from wool

Wool products should be washed by hands with special powder for wool fabrics. The maximum temperature of the water when washing is 30°C.

When you take out the cloths from the water you need to carefully put them on a towel and leave them in a horizontal position. In any case don’t dry them in an oven device, to radiators or heating to the sun. Wool products can be ironed but on regime “wool” and should be lightly wet by a spray or a steam iron.

Care for products from viscose

Articles of viscose absorb moisture well, but in a position to lose wet strength, so require particularly careful washing. Viscose can be washed by hands as well as by using washing machine.

Cloths from this material should hang out at a vertical position and also they don’t have to be dried in an oven machine. They have to be ironed in the regime “silk”, lightly wet or put over wet towel at the temperature of 150°C.

Care for silk products

Silk is one of the finest and softest fabrics so it needs special care. You can wash it only by hands at 30°C and using powder fine fabrics. Don’t rub, twist or juice the silk products. Silk needs to rinse well in first warm, then cold water. After washing the silk product, it must rinse in cold water in which you should add a little bit vinegar which will return the brightness of the color. You can easily protect your cloth if: first you put it in a bath with a lot of water, add a quarter glass of vinegar in it and leave the silk to soak inside for an hour. After that throw out the water and rinse the cloth out in water with room temperature. Then wring it out very carefully and leave it to dry on a dry towel. Silk can not be dried in an oven device, in the sun or near heaters. The best way is to leave it to dry on a dry towel or some other dry fabric.
