Warm and soft sweaters are an essential part of the autumn-winter wardrobe.

But in order for such things to serve as long as possible and please with their appearance, it is important to take proper care of them. It is important to study the label to avoid mistakes when washing.

For example, a wool sweater should be washed as rarely as possible.

The water temperature should not be higher than 30 degrees. This rule applies to items made of cashmere, mohair and acrylic.

At the same time, detergents should be gentle. It is acceptable to use diluted shampoo if you do not want the sweaters to "bite" your skin.

If you use a washing machine, it is important to remember that the drum should not be overfilled, otherwise it is easy to damage the material of the sweater.

The spin should be minimal.

As for drying, it should be horizontal.

However, you should not leave clothes on heating devices or in direct sunlight.

If you forget about these simple rules, your clothes will quickly lose their shape.
