Keep Your Cotton Clothes Looking Amazing By Following These Care Tips

If you often wear cotton clothes, you will know that cotton is one of the most comfortable materials to wear around. To prolong the life of your cotton clothes, there are a few things you can do to keep them smelling fresh and looking amazing. Read on to find out what these care tips are!

Wash in Cold Water

The first tip is to wash your cotton clothes in cold water. This is the best way to prevent your clothes from losing color. Washing your clothes in warm water can result in your cotton clothes losing their color quickly. 

Use a Stain Treatment

Another tip to take note of is to use a stain remover that is suitable and safe for cotton clothes to treat your clothes in certain regions. Sweat and perspiration can result in discoloration of your clothes. Treat your clothes in areas where your body is more prone to sweat. This includes areas near the neckline, as well as the armpits. If there are any stained spots on your clothes, remember to treat those areas as well. This stain treatment can not only prevent stains from forming, but it can also help eliminate body odor.

If you have spilt wine or coffee and stained your cotton clothes, you should first run your shirt under cold water within 3 to 5 minutes. Rub the stain gently. If the stain does not wash off, repeat the actions. If the stain has already been around for quite some time, you can apply some dry detergent on the stain. Ensure the surface is wet and leave the detergent on for a few minutes. Rub gently with your fingers and rinse it.

If the stain is very stubborn, you can try using lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or other home remedies.

Read the Care Labels

Many people often miss out this step and do not read care labels. If you neglect reading the care label and do not wash your clothes in an appropriate way, it could lead to the shrinkage or stretching of your cotton shirt. If you are unsure what the care instructions are, it is generally safe to stick to washing your cotton clothes with cold water.

Try not to dry your cotton clothes on a wash line. Over time, this could lead to the fabric stretching out. When drying clothes in a dryer, do not leave them in until completely dry. Dry them until about 70% dry, then take them out and allow the moisture to slowly evaporate. This can help prevent your clothes from shrinking drastically.
