Cotton is the most used and preferred fabric of the summer
season. Everyone loves to wear cotton during this season. The clothes we use
needs to be washed and dried to use it again.
Cotton clothes gets a more clean and fresh look when starched.
Starching requires some amount of care and attention.
First examine the cloth to get to know about any special
instructions to follow in washing and handling.
Sorting: sort them out
according to their size and colours.
Steeping: soak them in liquid soaps or detergents to remove
dust and dirt. Soaking time depends on the liquids strength and quality of the
fabric.
Washing: When the allotted time of soaking is over, wash it
well with the help of a brush and stain removals if needed any.
Rinsing: Rinse the cloth well for two or three times in plain
water to get rid of soap and detergent.
Stiffening and bleaching: Many stiffening agents are now available
in the market, do follow the instructions and measurements to obtain good
results. Bleaching can be done after stiffening, requirements vary for one
fabric to the other.
Removal of moisture: Excess moisture from stiffening agents
and bleach can be removed by allowing the fabric to drip off the excess
moisture. Squeezing damages and impairs the starch effect.
Drying: White clothes can be made to dry in direct sunlight,
were as colour clothes can be made to dry in shade in summer season.
Finishing: Before ironing, fabrics need to dried properly and
must be folded in a proper way to get uniform ironing.
Ironing: Ironing must be done with utmost care and the variation in the
heat must be strictly followed so as to get the fine look &form of the
fabric.
