Cherishing the Luxury of Cotton

Cherishing the Luxury of Cotton


At It's All About You, true luxury lies in the details – the gentle touch of fabric against your skin, the effortless drape of a crafted garment, and the enduring quality of timeless cotton. To ensure your pieces remain as beautiful as the day you received them, we’ve created this simple care guide.

1.  Washing Your Luxury Cotton

Just as your well-being deserves gentle care, so do our garments. Harsh treatments can compromise softness and vibrancy. Follow these tips:

  • Consult the Care Label: Always start with the instructions provided for your garment’s unique weave and finish.
  • Gentle Cycles & Cool Water: Use delicate cycles with cool or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage and fading.
  • Mild Detergent Only: Choose a pH-neutral detergent. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and optical brighteners.
  • Hand Wash When Needed: For delicate or embellished items, hand washing is best. Rinse until water runs clear.
  • Separate Colors: Wash light and dark items separately to avoid dye transfer.
  • Mesh Bags: Use a mesh laundry bag for added protection in the machine.

2.  Drying Your Garments

Drying is critical to maintaining shape and softness. High heat should be avoided:

  • Air Dry for Best Results: Lay flat on a clean surface or hang on padded hangers away from sunlight.
  • Tumble Dry with Care: If necessary, use the lowest heat setting and remove promptly. Wool dryer balls help maintain softness.

3.  Ironing for a Polished Look

Restore the smooth elegance of your cotton with the right ironing technique:

  • Iron While Damp: Best results come when fabric is slightly damp. Lightly mist with water if needed.
  • Right Temperature: Use the cotton setting. Start low and increase gradually.
  • Reverse Side: Iron inside out to protect color and details.
  • Use a Pressing Cloth: Place a clean cloth between iron and garment for delicate textures.

4.  Storing for Longevity

Thoughtful storage ensures your garments remain pristine:

  • Always Clean Before Storing: Prevent mildew and insects by storing only clean, dry items.
  • Fold or Hang Properly: Fold knitwear; hang woven cotton on padded hangers. Avoid wire hangers.
  • Give Garments Space: Prevent wrinkles and allow garments to breathe by avoiding overcrowding.
  • Protect from Light & Dust: Store in breathable cotton bags, away from sunlight.

🌟 Indulge in Care, Embrace Longevity

By treating your cotton pieces with kindness, you extend their beauty and life. At It's All About You, we believe self-care extends to the garments you wear – so they continue to bring you comfort, confidence, and timeless elegance.
