Separate heavily soiled items from lighter everyday garments when practical.

Also consider separating colors to help prevent unwanted transfer.

Some cotton garments can shrink or change shape when exposed to excessive heat.

Follow the recommended drying instructions for each item.

Simple washing and drying habits can help cotton clothing remain comfortable and wearable for longer.
