Fabric - Viscose

Viscose, also known as rayon, is a soft, lightweight fabric that mimics the feel of natural fibers like cotton or silk. However, it requires special care to maintain its softness and prevent damage.

Washing

• Hand Wash: It's best to wash viscose garments by hand in cold water. Use a mild detergent and gently agitate the fabric.
• Machine Wash (if necessary): If machine washing is needed, place the item in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
• Avoid Soaking: Soaking viscose can weaken the fibers, causing the fabric to lose shape or shrink.

Drying

• Air Dry: Viscose should never be tumble-dried as it is prone to shrinking. Lay the garment flat on a towel to dry or hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid Wrinkles: To minimize wrinkles, reshape the garment while it is still damp.

Ironing

• Low Heat: If ironing is needed, use the lowest heat setting. Iron the garment inside-out to avoid direct heat on the fabric.
• Steam: Steaming is a safer option as it helps reduce wrinkles without pressing the fibers directly.

Storage

• Hang or Fold: Store viscose garments by hanging them up or folding them neatly. Avoid overcrowding to prevent wrinkles.

Key Tips

• Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the fibers.
• Be cautious with friction—excessive rubbing can cause pilling.

By following these care tips, your viscose garments will stay looking and feeling great for longer!
