7 Types of Clothing Fabrics and How to Handle Them With Care

Do you struggle when you need to wash your new pair of jeans or that awesome Profano sweater because you're afraid of ruining it? It can be a headache to check each and every garment's care instructions. I usually just shove everything in the washer and pray for it to come out exactly the way it was (but washed of course).

Sometimes I give my two year old hand-me-down sweaters that shrunk in the dryer, other times I go to the gym with colorful tinted tees, what can I say? It's time consuming to "handle clothing with care".

So, I made a chart matching fabrics to washing and drying instructions and put it in the laundry room. Now...I have one more thing taking up space in the laundry room! No, really, it helps me separate the clothing and make different cycles, take a look, it might help you too, whether handling with care or decorating the room.
