Cotton Black And White Striped Knitted Cardigan

Machine Wash:
Wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with like colors to prevent any color bleeding.
Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners which can break down the natural fibers of the cotton.

Hand Wash (recommended for longevity):
Fill a basin with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent.
Immerse the jacket and gently swish it around.
Soak for 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.

Drying:
Lay the jacket flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll up the towel and press to remove excess moisture. Unroll and reshape the jacket if necessary.
Lay it flat on a drying rack or another clean, dry towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent shrinking or fading.

Ironing:
If needed, iron the jacket while it is slightly damp using a low-temperature setting. Place a thin cloth between the iron and the jacket to prevent any potential scorching.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the fabric over time. Instead, fold and place in a drawer or on a shelf.

Additional Tips:
To maintain its original feel and look, occasionally air out the jacket outside, but avoid direct sunlight.
Avoid wringing out the jacket, as this can distort its shape.
For any stubborn stains, it is recommended to consult a professional cleaner.
