How to wash and care for cotton

• Cotton can be machine or handwashed. To prevent garments from shrinking and to keep them looking their best, wash at 30°.

• Place delicate items in a mesh bag to help prevent snagging or twisting during machine cycles.

• Pre ‑treat stains before washing by dabbing a small amount of stain remover on the area. For darker pieces, patch test on an inside seam to check the colour won’t be affected.

Hang cotton out to dry, as heat from tumble dryers can cause it to shrink. This also saves energy.
