Cotton/polyester clothing is made from fibres of both cotton and synthetic polyester. The fabric is lightweight and typically does not need to be ironed, which makes it great for travelling. The cotton polyester blend doesn't shrink as much as cotton, but it is susceptible to stains. Here is how to care for clothing that is made from a cotton-polyester blend.

  • Cotton/polyester clothing is made from fibres of both cotton and synthetic polyester.
  • The cotton polyester blend doesn't shrink as much as cotton, but it is susceptible to stains.

Machine wash on the warm cycle with a detergent of your choice.

Add a fabric softener if you so desire.

Read the label on the clothing to see if the article needs to be dried in the dryer or air-dried. Dry it accordingly.

TIP

Spray the fabric with a stain remover if your clothing has a stain before you wash it. Rub the fabric together to try to remove the stain.
