How can cotton be washed and cared for?

Cotton is one of the easiest fabrics to care for. Most cotton garments can be washed at any temperature once they have been shrunk, and they can also be dried at any temperature.

Darks and lights should be separated, and you will find that using cold or warm water on darks helps to keep them colorfast.

Drying on high heat will also encourage fading, so you should use a lower heat setting and turn garments inside out, so that they fade on the inside.

By using cool temperatures in your fabric care regimen for cotton, you can keep it flexible and bright.
