What are the washing and care recommendations for cotton napkins?

1. Treat with gentleness and protect every inch of fiber
Pure cotton napkins, like delicate skin, need our gentle care. Before washing, it is recommended to check whether there are stubborn stains on the napkins. If so, use an appropriate amount of neutral detergent or special stain remover to gently pre-treat, and avoid rubbing hard to avoid damaging the fibers. Then, wash the napkins separately from other clothes to prevent the colors from penetrating each other or damaging the material.

2. Wash with cold water to retain the original color and texture
During the washing process, it is recommended to use cold water for washing. Although hot water can accelerate the dissolution of detergents, it may also cause pure cotton fibers to shrink, deform, or even fade. Cold water washing can effectively protect the original color and texture of the napkins, making every use as if it were the first time. At the same time, choosing a mild detergent is also the key, and avoid using detergents containing bleach or strong alkaline ingredients to avoid irreversible damage to the fibers.

3. Gentle hand washing, enjoy the slow pace of life
Although modern washing machines have brought many conveniences to our lives, for pure cotton napkins, gentle hand washing may be a better choice. When washing by hand, you can gently press or rub the napkin to allow the detergent to fully penetrate and remove stains. This process not only allows you to take more detailed care of every corner of the napkin, but also allows you to enjoy a quiet and slow time in your busy life.

4. Dry naturally and avoid high-temperature drying
After washing, gently wring the napkin (be careful not to use excessive force), and then lay it flat in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer or high-temperature ironing, as high temperatures may cause the pure cotton fiber to harden, deform, or even shrink. Although the natural drying process takes some time, it can maximize the softness and breathability of the napkin, allowing every touch to feel the natural warmth and comfort.

5. Fold and store regularly to keep it beautiful and tidy
When the napkin is completely dry, you can fold it according to your personal preferences and store it properly. It is recommended to use breathable cotton bags or bamboo baskets to store napkins, and avoid using plastic bags or containers with strong sealing to prevent the napkins from getting damp and moldy. At the same time, regularly taking out the napkins to dry or ventilate them can also effectively prevent the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors.
