1. Cotton
Washing Method: 

Machine wash or hand wash; water temperature should not exceed 40°C.
Notes:

• Dark-colored cotton fabrics tend to fade; for the first wash, use cold water and wash separately.

• Avoid direct sunlight; lay flat and stretch while drying to prevent shrinkage.

  
  

2. Linen
Washing Method: Hand wash or gentle machine wash; water temperature below 30°C.
Notes:

• Linen wrinkles easily; shake out and smooth while damp before drying.

• Do not wring; press out excess water with a towel.

  
  

3. Wool
Washing Method: Hand wash in cold water or machine wash using the “wool” setting with a wool-specific detergent.
Notes:

• Do not twist or wring. Lay flat on a towel and roll to absorb excess water.

• Avoid high-temperature drying to prevent shrinkage or deformation.

  
  

4. Polyester
Washing Method: Machine wash or hand wash; water temperature should not exceed 40°C.
Notes:

• Prone to static; fabric softener may be added.

• Iron at low temperature (≤110°C); avoid high heat which may melt the fibers.

  
  

5. Nylon
Washing Method: Cold water machine wash or hand wash with regular detergent.
Notes:

• Avoid prolonged soaking to preserve elasticity.

• Do not bleach; dry in the shade.

  
  

6. Leather
Washing Method: Do not wash with water! Wipe surface stains with a damp cloth.
Notes:

• Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn stains.

• After cleaning, apply leather conditioner and store away from light to prevent cracking.

  
  

7. Down (e.g., Down Jackets)
Washing Method: Use the “down wear” cycle on the washing machine with a specialized detergent.
Notes:

• Pat and fluff after washing to prevent clumping.

• Do not wring; air dry or tumble dry at low temperature.

  
  

General Tips:

• Sort for washing: Separate by color (dark/light) and fabric type (soft/sturdy) to avoid dye transfer and abrasion.

• Stubborn stains: Pre-treat with a neutral detergent and gently dab—do not rub harshly.

• When in doubt: Take items to a professional laundry service.
