Cotton hoodies are widely loved for their comfort and breathability. In order to extend the life of cotton hoodies and maintain their good appearance, the correct maintenance method is essential. Here are a few tips for maintaining cotton hoodies:
1. Proper purchase
When buying cotton hoodies, choose clothes made of natural cotton because they have less shrinkage. In addition, you can choose clothes that have been pre-shrunk to reduce the possibility of deformation.
2. Understand the washing method
- Check the label: Before washing, read the washing instructions on the clothing label carefully. Some cotton clothes cannot be washed in a washing machine, while others need to be washed in warm water.
- Water temperature control: When washing cotton hoodies, the water temperature should be controlled below 35 degrees Celsius to avoid shrinkage and damage to the fibers.
- Soaking time: Do not soak the clothes in laundry detergent for too long to avoid damaging the fibers.
3. Use appropriate detergent
Cotton clothes are highly resistant to alkalis and can be washed with soap or laundry detergent. For colored clothes, you can add an appropriate amount of salt to the water to prevent fading.
4. Avoid over-wringing
After washing, do not wring the clothes hard to avoid deformation. You can lay the clothes flat on a dry towel and pat them gently with your hands to remove excess water.
5. Drying method
- Drying on the reverse side: To avoid fading due to direct sunlight, the clothes should be dried with the reverse side facing outward.
- Avoid exposure: Cotton clothes should not be exposed to strong sunlight, and should be dried in a ventilated and dry place.
6. Storage precautions
- Insect prevention: If you don't wear it for a long time, you can put a mothball in the clothes to prevent insects.
- Avoid heavy pressure: When storing, do not press heavy objects on cotton clothes to avoid deformation.
With the above methods, you can effectively maintain your cotton hoodie, keep it in good condition, and extend its service life. I hope these tips will help you.
