How to care for summer fabrics made of polyester?


Polyester is one of the most durable, sustainable and long-lasting fabrics and does not require much care during washing or ironing, but there are some very simple points that preserve this fabric and make it last with you for the longest possible period.


1- It is preferable to soak and dry the fabric before taking it to the tailor, or put it in the washing machine and dry it before taking it to the tailor (without washing powder).

2- If you can avoid washing with chlorine, that is better and helps the fabric maintain its color and does not cause wear and tear on the fabric dye.

3- Washing with cold water helps preserve the fabric’s texture and prevent it from wearing out or disintegrating quickly.

4- Clean water during washing to maintain the color and shine of the fabric and prevent yellowing. Avoid washing the fabric with impure and clean water because the sediments and dyes will penetrate the fabric tissues and change its color.

5- Drying: It is recommended to avoid heat drying because it exposes the tissues to shrinkage and damage.

6- Ironing: It is preferable to iron at low temperatures to avoid wearing out the fabric.
