Polycotton Care Guide: Washing, Drying, Ironing, and Stain Removal

Polycotton blends (cotton + polyester) are durable and easy to maintain with proper care.

Washing

• Use warm or cool water (≤40°C / 104°F). Avoid hot water to prevent shrinkage and color loss.
• Mild detergent suitable for both fibers.
• No bleach or fabric softeners—they degrade texture and color.

Drying

• Dries quickly; avoid over-drying to prevent shrinkage.
• Tumble dry low or hang in well-ventilated area.
• Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Ironing

• Cool iron only; test small area first.
• Iron reverse side to protect surface.
• Avoid ironing directly on prints or embellishments.

Stain Removal

• Treat promptly; blot (don't rub) to avoid spreading.
• Test mild detergent on hidden area first.

Storage

• Cool, dry place.
• Avoid tight folding to prevent creases; hang if possible.
