If you’re happy to take the time to ensure the longevity of your garment, take a look at the best ways to clean viscose items below: Cleaning with cold water and mild detergent But, if you really want to use a washing machine check out my guide a little further down the page. You shouldn’t really put items made from this material in the washing machine because it agitates the fibres, encouraging the fabric to shrink. Keep on reading and you’ll find out how you can wash your viscose garments without shrinking them as I did. So, now you know if you bung your new viscose top in with your usual wash load it’s going to come out a few sizes smaller, how do you actually wash it properly and stop this from happening? The best way to wash anything viscose is by hand, in cold water and with a small amount of mild detergent. But you’re in the right place now, so I can help stop this from happening to you. I learnt this lesson too late and ruined my gorgeous viscose dress. However, there are correct ways of washing viscose clothing, so that they don’t shrink as readily. Viscose clothing will shrink if you wash it in the washing machine (with a typical setting) or in boiling hot water. So, my advice to anyone looking at washing their viscose clothing is: I looked at the label and did some poking around online and I realised I’d washed the dress in the wrong way. Then I washed it, and when I came to wear it again, it had shrunk – and not in a flattering way either. It fitted very well and it felt great on.
I recently bought myself a beautiful purple summer dress, which just so happened to be made from viscose.
When it comes to looking after this wood-pulp-based fabric we’ve got one question – does viscose shrink when you wash it? So always check the care label and make sure you’re treating your clothes the right way. Throwing everything together in the washing machine sometimes isn’t the way to do it… especially when it comes to Viscose a.k.a Rayon.
