Fabric washing and care instructions

In order for the fabrics to retain their color and the properties created for them, choosing a washing program is important. Often, fabrics lose their shine and color precisely because of the wrong washing program. You should always check the washing program of the product you bought, but if the label is missing or has been lost, you can check the most common washing instructions in this blog post.

FLAX

The pre-wash program is useless. It just wears out the natural warps of the linen for nothing.

Linen can withstand even high temperatures. The washing temperature is generally 60 degrees. If other material has been mixed with the linen (linen mix), it is safer to lower the temperature to 40 degrees

By using plenty of water, you reduce linen wrinkling during washing

COTTON

Cotton is a relatively strong and durable natural fiber. Cotton is widely used due to its soft nature.

You can wash white cotton at 60 degrees, but dyed cotton cannot withstand more than 40 degrees. A higher temperature can cause the color to come off.

Do not use bleach

VISCOUS

Viscose products are usually washed at 40 degrees.

Viscose may shrink in the wash. This should be taken into account when purchasing the product

Viscose wrinkles in the wash, so the product almost always has to be ironed at a low temperature.

VILLA

Wash the wool products by hand or use the machine's wool washing program

tumble dryer is strictly prohibited

Adjust the product to its dimensions when damp and let it dry horizontally in a shady place.

In general, it is advisable to actively use the airing of clothes and other products. Ventilation reduces the number of unnecessary washes and thus saves fabric fibers.
