Laundry Care for Delicate Fabrics
Acetate is adversely affected by acetone and other organic solvents, such as nail polish remover and perfumes containing such solvents. Most acetate garments should be dry-cleaned. If laundering is indicated, hand wash in warm water with mild suds, do not twist or wring out the garment, do not soak colored items, like most lingerie fabric care will insist. Press while damp on the wrong side with a cool iron. If finishing the right side use a pressing cloth. Circular knits should be laid flat to dry. For specific instructions, always refer to the garment’s sewn-in care label. Cotton can be easily laundered. It can withstand high temperatures, boiling water does not hurt the fiber.
