If clothes made from natural fabrics are often subject to friction, then pellets will definitely appear on the fibers.

Improper care of things only makes the situation worse.

Typically, pellets appear on the elbows, cuffs, and in areas where the item comes into contact with bags and the body.

To prevent pellets from appearing too quickly, you need to remember a few rules.

It is important to follow the directions on the label and turn the garment inside out before washing.

It should also be taken into account that pellets often appear on delicate fabrics. This means that when washing, you need to use a special mode and special products that soften.
