Clothing is one of the very important parts of our livelihood. They look more enhancing if they are clean and cotton clothes especially. There is no doubt that cotton clothes need special care and the most common fabric that really needs to be smell good and unstained. Here are the five tips for cotton that you need to know.
1. Fading of the color is the most common problem that one has to face in cotton clothes. Your best looking cloth can look ugly in just one wash if not washed properly. It is better that you wash them in cold water so that discoloration does not occur and better wash such clothes with hands. This advice I got from online laundry services in Bangalore when I was staying there during my job. You can follow this as well.
2. Cotton clothes generally catch more dirt and appear to be dirty. It is important to clear the stains of the clothes and in cotton focus majorly on the areas like armpits, cuffs and neckline areas, where sweat creates more fuss. This will not only keep them clean but keep you free from the smell too. Cotton clothes sweat badly so focus on the targeted areas more. But one more thing you can do is if the stain is fresh and then just keep it under the running tap and rub it immediately.
3. There are high possibilities that cotton can shrink or stretch. It is better that if you are washing it for the first time, and then check the labels first for the instructions. If you are not sure that what you can do then be calm and wash it in cold water, without rubbing it excessively. Then if washed then don’t let it dry hanging that stretch your fabric.
4. Ironing is the most important thing for cotton clothes. Cotton is the fabric that gets too many wrinkles after wash. You can’t wear it without ironing as they will look dull. For that perfect shine, firm crease, neater and smoother look, makes sure you do not forget to iron the clothes before wearing it.
5. Also if you have seen your mother and granny putting some white colored balls in the clothes, you must have asked them why? Yes, there are chances that the organic fabric such as cotton and silk eliminates some oil after the sweat. So there are chances that they might get eaten by the pests. It is better to add naphthalene balls in your cupboard so that you can keep your favorite clothes safe for long.
