mauve cotton fabric

Compared to rayon, cotton fabric is easy to care for. Although it stretches and pills over time, cotton with a higher thread count will hold up much better than cotton with a cheap and loose weave. On the other hand, Rayon gets weak when wet and may get damaged under heat. Therefore it is suggested to dry clean the rayon fabric to retain its shiny and silky surface.

Shrinks Easily: Rayon fabric has a tendency to shrink when washed, so it is important to follow care instructions carefully. NEVER wash it in hot water. High temperature is the natural enemy of Rayon. The shrinkage mostly happens when the fabric is heated, but even in cold water, it'll shrink some. If you want to wear any of your rayon clothes more than once, never wash it hot.
