To help maintain the stretch, rib structure, and softness of Cotton Rib Lines, wash the fabric using a gentle cycle with cool or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh bleaching agents and excessive agitation, as these may weaken the cotton fibers or affect the fabric’s natural structure. Do not wring the fabric aggressively after washing, as pulling or twisting can temporarily distort the rib pattern.
Air drying is preferable, with the fabric laid flat or supported evenly to help minimize stretching while wet. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting. When ironing, use low to moderate heat and avoid pressing heavily over the ribbed texture. Store the fabric folded in a clean, dry place away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight.
