• Terry cloths will retain their original appearance longer if a little salt is added to the rinse water after washing. It is not recommended to wring out, twist, knock out terry things, otherwise they will lose their “fluffiness”.
• Things made of poplin, damask, pique after washing should be wrapped in dry cotton material, and then dried on a horizontal surface.
• Wool. Wash and rinse woolen clothes in warm water. Hot water shrinks these clothes. You can wring out wool products, but you can’t twist them. It is better to wash them by hand, after turning them inside out.

Washing in the machine is possible if it has a special mode for woolen items. When washing, you can add a little alcohol to the water. This will keep the yarn elastic.

• Cotton. Cotton fibers perfectly absorb moisture. This material is durable, pleasant to wear, natural. Things made of pure cotton wrinkle, so manufacturers add synthetics to it. Artificial fibers eliminate the shortcomings of cotton threads and ennoble it. White cotton items can be washed at 95 degrees. It is recommended to wash colored clothes at a low temperature - 45 degrees with a special washing powder without bleach.
• Linen. Linen is perfect for hot weather. Linen is a tougher material than cotton. He doesn't wrinkle that much. Linen items can be boiled, machine washed.
• Synthetics. Wash synthetic items in non-hot water. Synthetics can be washed in the washing machine in the “quick wash” mode. If the thing has complex contamination, the product should be soaked in warm water, lathering the stains with laundry soap.
