Comparison with other materials
Many are trying to figure out the intricacies of materials such as a strut, ribana, interlock and footer, understanding which one is better. All these types of fabrics are made from cotton fiber with the addition of other threads. But the kulirka differs from them in that it is very light and thin knitwear, and the other 3 types are much denser, respectively, warmer, due to denser weaving. Warm clothes are made from them.
Kulirka is more suitable for underwear, children's and home clothes, summer products. And the footer, interlock and ribana are autumn and winter options. Their difference from thinner knitwear is that they are much more resistant to puffs, and arrows do not appear on them at all. But on the other hand, shrinkage is more characteristic of them, especially if the correct washing regime is not followed.

Care
Things from the cool surface have a lot of advantages, and disadvantages may not appear if you know about the rules for caring for things and adhere to them constantly. With proper care, products can last a very long time and not lose their original appearance. Many people are concerned about the issue of fabric shrinkage. But it all depends on which care methods you use. For baby clothes, and even more so for newborns, the initial wash is recommended. Before the child puts on the sliders or undershirt, be sure to wash the product by hand in warm water with baby soap.
Adult knitwear can be powder washed, delicate machine wash is acceptable. It is advisable to use a delicate powder or special gel, and wash in cool water. In any case, the temperature should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. As for the subsequent washings, the rules are exactly the same. If the item is heavily soiled, you can first soak it in water with powder for a couple of hours, then rub it well with your hands and send it to the machine for a delicate wash.
If your dress or T-shirt has stains, you can try removing them with a stain remover for delicate fabrics. Be sure to look carefully at the components contained. The stain remover must be free of chlorine. The same goes for powder. In no case should you use one that is intended for whitening.

Always remember that bleach can damage the material, as can a stain remover that contains chlorine. So, you need to be careful with things from the cooler and try not to stain them so that later it would be impossible to wash them off using conventional methods. If these things are intended for children, then in this case you simply cannot get away from all kinds of pollution.And if the stain cannot be removed, you can correct the position with some original applique or embroidery. Do not squeeze things out too vigorously. If with your hands, then only slightly, select the minimum speed in the machine for spinning. If wringing is done by hand, then a clean white terry towel can be used for this purpose. You need to place a thing on it, and then twist and squeeze slightly. This will absorb excess moisture into the towel.
Drying on a hanger or simply in an upright position on a dryer is not recommended. Better to spread a clean terry towel or white sheet on the table and dry like this. After a while, the fabric must be replaced with a dry one, and so on until the clothes are completely dry. It is not worth leaving a dress or jacket on a damp towel for a long time, otherwise the thing may acquire an unpleasant smell of dampness, which cannot be eliminated in any way, and you will have to rinse the product again and then dry it. Drying vertically may cause the dress or blouse to stretch out and leave marks on the clothespins. Linen and household items can also be dried in the usual way.

You need to iron things with care, using the minimum or medium temperature regime, preferably without changing them. And check first on an inconspicuous area of the product. Ironing temperature should not exceed 110 degrees, ironing should be done only from the wrong side. You need to store things in a closet on hangers or neatly folded on shelves. The advantage of many knitted items is that they practically do not wrinkle or are resistant to this type of impact. Therefore, sometimes they do not need to be ironed at all, but just put them on the shelf. The ironed dress can be hung on a hanger. After wearing, place them on the hanger again.
It is necessary to take into account the factor that the cooler is susceptible to puffs and arrows, so you need to be careful with sharp objects, the edges of furniture. If you follow all the simple rules, you can save the thing for a long time. Such fabric remains relevant for many years and will always be in high demand due to its good qualities and durability.
