Properties | Care |
| Cotton |
Cotton is a go-to for comfort, but it can be prone to shrinking in the dryer.
|
For wovens like shirts, cold wash and stretch damp. Knits benefit from being turned inside out, cold washed, and laid flat to dry. |
| Wool | Wool is naturally stretchy and warm, but it’s best to handle it carefully. | Wash with a wool-safe detergent on cold or hand wash, then lay flat to dry. For knits, gently reshape while damp to keep everything looking sharp. |
|
Cashmere
|
Cashmere feels like a cloud against your skin, but it’s delicate. | Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, lay flat to dry, and keep a cashmere brush handy for any pilling. You can also take it to the dry cleaner. For stains, gently blot with a damp cloth or sprinkle cornstarch for oil spots. |
|
Linen
|
Linen keeps you cool with its breathable weave, but it can shrink if not careful. | A hot steam iron can often relax the fibers and fix minor shrinkage. For knits, handle gently when wet and lay flat to dry to maintain their natural drape. |
|
|
Viscose offers that silky feel without the fuss, but it’s sensitive when wet. | Cold wash on a gentle cycle and lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid wringing, as this can damage the fibers. |
|
Acetate / Triacetate
|
These shiny, smooth fibers look great but need gentle care.
|
Dry cleaning is usually best, but if washing at home, cold wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. Too much heat or moisture can easily cause shrinkage. |
|
Lyocell
|
Lyocell is soft, strong, and easy on the environment
|
Cold wash on a gentle cycle, lay flat or hang to dry, and avoid high heat to keep it looking smooth and fresh. |
