"Cotton Textiles: From Traditional to Modern Uses"
Here are the care tips of ADAMO experts advice:
To keep the colour of your cotton textiles, put salt in the bucket you are recovering your items in. In the shadow, air evaporate your dark-coloured cotton garments. This will almost probably halt the bleeding.
Rinse your whites independently on a regular basis to maintain their colour.
Washing: Cotton can usually be washed in a machine using warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fibers and cause discoloration. Sort items by color, and wash similar colors together to avoid color fading.
Drying: Cotton can be machine dried on a medium or low heat setting. Avoid over-drying as it can cause shrinkage. If you prefer, you can hang or lay the items flat to air dry, too.
To rinse the clothing clean, use a moderate cleanser or household soap.
To prevent colour loss and shortening, wash your cotton in hot or cold water.
Warm water should be avoided when doing laundry because it can cause the cotton to shrink.
Ironing: Cotton can be ironed on a medium heat setting, using a steam iron if desired. Avoid ironing cotton items when they are still damp, as this can cause scorching or burns.
Storage: When storing cotton items, make sure they are clean and dry. Avoid storing cotton in plastic or other airtight containers, as this can trap moisture and cause mildew. Fold cotton items neatly and store them in a cool, dry place.
