Cotton can be easily laundered. It can withstand high temperatures (boiling water does not hurt the fiber).
Any good detergent can be used to wash cotton.
Chlorine bleach can be used safely on cotton whites. Use color safe bleach on dyed cottons.
Since cotton fibers are fairly inelastic cotton fabrics may wrinkle easily. And, fabric may need frequent pressing.
However, cotton fabric can be treated with a wrinkle resistant finish to create a more resilient fabric/garment. The label will tell you if this finish has been applied.
A higher heat setting is needed in the dryer to dry cotton. Cotton will take much longer to dry than less absorbent fibers.
Cotton can be ironed with a hot iron, and does not scorch easily

Give wool garments a 24-hour rest between wearings. Hang on shaped or padded hangers, leaving lots of space. In general, wool fibers will shed wrinkles and return to their orginal shape
Empty pockets, remove belts and hang with closures zipped and buttoned.
Fold knits.
Brush wool to remove surface soil. Use a damp sponge for knits and finer fabrics.
Refresh wool garments quickly after wearing or unpacking by hanging them in a steamy bathroom.
Moisture from the steam will remove wrinkles.
If wool gets wet, dry the garment at room temperature away from heat. If there's a nap, brush with the nap.
Remove spots and stains promptly.
Keep moths away by storing wool with fresh cedar blocks.
Dry clean once a season(or when stained), and especially before storing.
Always steam when pressing wool. Use the wool setting. Avoid pressing wool totally dry. When possible, press on the reverse side of the fabric. When necessary to press on the right side, use a press cloth to avoid a shine. Lower and lift the iron, don't slide it back and forth.

Caring for lingerie need not be cumbersome. We recommend the specially formulated mild fabric care wash Forever New for all women's lingerie. For stains, Pampered Passions recommends Stain Remedy. Delicate garments should always be hand washed and allowed to air dry on a clean towel. Do not wring-out or twist the garments to remove excess water.

Should you elect to machine wash your intimates use a garment bag, turn your intimates inside out, separate and wash similar colors at one time (do not mix dark and light colored garments) and close all clasps, buttons and zippers. Use a mild fabric care wash like Forever New to clean lingerie and underwear. For stains, never use bleach. Use a delicate stain remover like Stain Remedy. Wash garments on the washing machines gentle cycle and, if machine drying, use the dryers cool setting.
