To dry the garment, simply lay it over a dry towl or use a dry sponge to dab the water out of the garment. be sure not to leave creases in the garment if drying over a towl.

When ironing, ensure that the iron is set on it's lowest setting. It is also benificial to iron the garment while they it is still slightly damp.

 

Cotton & Cotton Mix Garments

Cotton can be washed using a domestic washing machine, using a setting which is below 50°C to preserve the colour and the fabric of your garment. It is best to use non-chlorine washing powder/liquid.
