General Washing Steps
Pre-treatment: Soak in cold water (below 45°C) for 15 minutes; avoid prolonged soaking.
Detergent Selection: Use a mild, neutral detergent; avoid products containing bleach to protect the fabric and prints.
Washing Method: Hand washing with gentle rubbing is preferred; if machine washing, use a laundry bag and a gentle cycle, keeping the duration under 30 minutes.
Spot Cleaning: Gently brush areas prone to dirt, such as collars and cuffs, with a soft-bristled brush; avoid vigorous scrubbing.
Water Removal: Gently press out excess water after washing; do not wring forcefully, as this can deform the fabric.
Specific Washing Tips for Different Fabrics
Pure Cotton/Cotton-Spandex Blends: Wash in cold water; add a spoonful of salt during the first wash to set the color. Avoid hot water above 40°C to prevent the fabric from becoming stiff or yellowing.
Modal and Other Viscose Fabrics: Machine wash gently only; avoid rough handling to prevent the fabric from pilling or fuzzing.
Printed/Elastic Styles: Do not rub or wring printed areas; avoid high-temperature ironing to prevent prints from peeling and elasticity from being damaged.
Lightweight/Jacquard Styles: Wash separately; do not mix with heavy garments or items with zippers to avoid snagging or abrasion.
