Pure cotton clothes are one of the common and commonly worn clothes in our daily lives. Correct daily maintenance can extend the life of pure cotton clothes and maintain their excellent quality. Below I will share some easy-to-master daily maintenance tips for pure cotton clothes, especially how to deal with common stains.
1. Oil stains: Oil stains are one of the common stains on pure cotton clothes. If oil stains are found, immediately wipe them gently with oil-absorbing paper or a clean cloth to absorb the oil stains. Then, pour some laundry detergent on the stain and scrub gently, then rinse with clean water. Finally, pat gently with a towel or let dry naturally.
2. Coffee/tea stains: For coffee or tea stains, first wipe gently with a damp cloth to remove as much surface stains as possible. Then, pour some warm water into the stained area, add a small amount of laundry detergent, and stir it briefly. Then put pure cotton clothes into this mixed solution and soak for a period of time (10-15 minutes). Finally, rinse with clean water, wring out excess water and let dry.
3. Marks/Pigments: For stains such as ink, marks or paint, they must be dealt with as soon as possible after the accident. First, pour some rubbing alcohol on the stain and scrub gently with a clean brush. Then wash with warm soapy water and finally rinse with clean water.
4. Sweat stains: Sweat stains are one of the common problems in pure cotton clothes. First add an appropriate amount of white vinegar to the sweat-stained area, and then rub it lightly. Let cotton clothes soak in vinegar for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with clean water. If the sweat stain is stubborn, you can treat it again with lemon juice.
5. Rust: If you accidentally get rust, you can soak pure cotton clothes in lemon juice for at least an hour. Then take it out and rinse it with clean water, and finally pat it dry with a towel.
It is important to note that no matter what kind of stain you are dealing with, always test it first. Pick an inconspicuous section and work on it in a small area to ensure you don’t damage or fade the cotton garment. In addition, in order to maintain the life and quality of pure cotton clothes, please avoid exposure to sunlight and excessive friction, and store and preserve them properly.
In summary, correct daily maintenance can ensure the quality and longevity of pure cotton clothes. Common stains can be easily treated with proper treatment techniques and your cotton clothes will stay clean, tidy and durable.
