Not so long ago, we managed to cope with this task by creating a new “chill” fabric.

In order for the clothes to retain their shape, they must be dried on a hanger, placed on the balcony or in any place where there is clean air.You should not hang things where there is direct sunlight, they negatively affect the condition of the fabric. You can dry products vertically and horizontally.
- After drying, there is no need to iron the fabric, it practically does not wrinkle and does not need an iron. Due to its delicate structure, there is a risk that ironing stains will appear on the product. If it was not possible to dry the clothes without leaving creases, then the “Silk” mode is set on the iron, and the product itself is turned inside out.
