Cotton Viscose
Cotton Viscose is a blend of natural cotton and semi-synthetic viscose fibers. This combination offers the best of both worlds: the breathability and comfort of cotton with the smoothness and drape of viscose. The result is a fabric that is soft, lightweight, and has a beautiful sheen. Proper care is essential to maintain its appearance and longevity.
Fabric Care Instructions:
Washing:
- Machine Wash: Use cool to warm water (30°C to 40°C) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Choose a mild detergent that does not contain bleach or fabric softeners.
- Garment Prep: Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the fabric's surface and color.
- Color Care: Wash with similar colors to avoid color bleeding and ensure even wear.
Drying:
- Tumble Dry: Use a low heat setting if you must tumble dry. Remove garments promptly to reduce wrinkles.
- Air Dry: For optimal results, air dry by laying flat on a clean, dry surface or hanging in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and stretching.
Ironing:
- Heat Setting: Iron on a medium heat setting.
- Protection: Use a pressing cloth to avoid direct contact with the fabric and prevent potential damage.
- Steam: Steam ironing can effectively remove wrinkles and refresh the fabric without direct heat.
Storage:
- Folding: Store Cotton Viscose garments folded in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain their shape and avoid stretching.
- Hanging: If you need to hang items, use padded hangers to support the garment’s shape and avoid stretching. Avoid prolonged hanging.
Caution:
- Bleach: Avoid using chlorine bleach, as it can weaken the fibers and cause discoloration.
- Wringing: Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can lead to distortion and wrinkles.
- Sunlight: Minimize exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation of fibers.
