A good T-shirt must be soft and elastic, and it is breathable and cool to wear. When rinsing, the entire T-shirt should be turned inward and avoid rubbing the patterned side. Try to wash it by hand and not use a dryer. Do not pull the collar when drying clothes to prevent deformation. Remember to wash the clothes carefully during the season change. You must first understand the materials when handling the clothes, so that you will not hurt your beloved clothes during the cleaning and ironing process.

1. Vinegar will erode cotton fabrics. Therefore, when acidic substances such as juice stain cotton fabrics, it is best to treat them immediately with clean water to avoid stains staying for too long and it is difficult to remove.

2. Alkaline is not easy to damage cotton fabrics, so weak alkaline detergents can be used.

3. Sunlight can cause oxidation of cotton fabrics, which will make white cotton fabrics yellow and brittle. Some cotton dyes are particularly sensitive to sunlight and can easily turn colors when exposed to excessive sunlight, especially if you need to be very careful, you may want to turn over and dry.

4. Light-colored cotton woven clothes will gradually turn yellow after washing for a long time. You can add detergent to the water and cook together for 20 to 30 minutes and then rub it with clean water to restore the original appearance.

5. The temperature of ironing cotton fabrics should be about 180 degrees higher. Since the cotton material is not easy to be hot when it is completely dry, it is best to spray some water moderately to make the moisture penetrate evenly before ironing it, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
