Use cold water:Wash cotton clothing in cold water to prevent shrinkage and preserve the colour. Cold water is gentler on the fibres and helps to keep clothes looking good for longer. Use mild detergents:Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent to clean your cotton clothing. Avoid bleach or aggressive cleaning agents, as they can damage the fibres. Wash inside out:Turn your cotton clothes inside out before washing to protect the surface and reduce colour fading. This also helps to protect any buttons, zips or decorations. Gentle drying process:Either air dry cotton clothing or use the dryer on a low temperature to minimise shrinkage. Avoid excessive heat, as this can damage the fibres and lead to deformation.
