What are care instructions for poly cotton?

Caring for polycotton involves specific steps to maintain its quality and longevity:

1. Washing:

- Use warm or cool water (up to 40 degrees Celsius/104 degrees Fahrenheit) for regular washing.

- Avoid hot water, as it may cause the fabric to shrink or lose color.

- Use a mild detergent suitable for both cotton and polyester fabrics.

- Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they may affect the fabric's texture and color.

2. Drying:

- Polycotton dries quickly, so avoid over-drying to prevent shrinkage.

- Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent wrinkles.

- Avoid direct sunlight during drying to prevent color fading.

3. Ironing:

- Use a cool iron if needed, but test a small area first.

- Iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging the surface.

- Avoid ironing directly onto prints or embellishments on the fabric.

4. Stains:

- Treat stains as soon as possible.

- Blot up the stain with a clean cloth, but avoid rubbing as this can spread the stain.

- If necessary, use a mild detergent to remove the stain, but test the detergent on a small area first.

5. Storage:

- Store polycotton items in a cool, dry place.

- Avoid folding the fabric too tightly, as it can cause creases and wrinkles.

- Hang items on hangers if possible to prevent creases.
