The Ultimate Guide to Fabric Care: How to Make Your Clothes Last Longer
At Al Hadaf Laundry, we understand that your clothes are an investment. Proper fabric care not only keeps your garments looking their best but also extends their lifespan significantly. Here’s our expert guide to caring for different types of fabrics:
Cotton Care
Cotton is durable but can shrink if not cared for properly. Wash in cold or warm water (not hot) and tumble dry on low. Remove promptly to avoid wrinkles. For colored cotton, turn garments inside out to preserve color.
Silk Preservation
Silk requires gentle handling. Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent or use our specialized silk cleaning service. Never wring silk – roll in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry.
Wool Wisdom
Wool can felt if agitated in hot water. Use cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Lay flat to dry to maintain shape. For expensive wool items, consider professional cleaning.
Synthetic Fabrics
Polyester, nylon, and spandex are generally low-maintenance but can attract odors. Wash in warm water and avoid high heat when drying to prevent damage to elastic fibers.
Remember, when in doubt, check the care label or bring your garments to Al Hadaf Laundry for professional care. Our team is trained to handle all fabric types with the perfect balance of care and cleaning power.
