Always Read The Label<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to other garments, you might be able to get away with ignoring the label (even if it\u2019s advised to read it). However, with cardigans, you will risk shrinking and fading them if you don\u2019t read the label and proceed to wash them without care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To properly care for your cardigans, read the labels to see details on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">washing, ironing, drying, dry clean<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Try To Wash By Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a rule, try to avoid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/4-ways-to-make-your-washing-machine-last-longer%ef%bf%bc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">washing machine<\/a> because this can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/what-happens-if-my-clothes-shrink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shrinking<\/a>. Always opt to wash by hand as it helps preserve them better and keeps their fabrics intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, wash your cardigan in cold water using a non-bio detergent. Let your cardigan soak for 30 minutes and then start to rinse under cold water. Once it\u2019s been rinsed, gently squeeze the water out and roll it in a towel to ensure all the water is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Don&#8217;t Over-Wash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cardigans are mostly made out of wool and if it gets exposed to too much water regularly, they will start to wear down and lose their quality. To keep it safe, wash it every 5 wears but even then, spot-cleaning usually does the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your body is not prone to sweat in the winter, so you won\u2019t need to wash your cardigan as much, but if there is a spill or stain, you need to wash it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Wear a T-Shirt Underneath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s common for people to wear multiple layers in the winter. It does the job and keeps us warm! While cardigans do a great job themselves in keeping us cosy and warm, wearing a t-shirt underneath actually takes care of your cardigans better. This is because a t-shirt plays the part of a barrier that limits sweat and odour from getting to your cardigan. If there is less sweat on your cardigan, there is less need to wash the cardigan so it does a great job in preservation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Fold Your Cardigans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A crucial tip to care for your cardigans is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/benefits-of-folding-your-clothes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fold<\/a>, not hang, them. Hanging will cause them to stretch and lose their shape. So whenever you have washed and dried your cardigans, ensure they are folded neatly in a drawer or a shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Contact Professionals To Care Of Your Cardigans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-care-for-your-winter-warmers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Winter<\/a> is a great time to be all snuggled up on the sofa, drinking hot chocolate and watching TV.
