One Wash Fits All? Not Quite. Why Different Fabrics Deserve Different Care

When laundry day comes around, it’s tempting to throw everything into the machine with the same detergent and cycle. But here’s the truth: different fabrics behave differently — and treating them all the same can shorten their life, dull their look, or ruin their softness.

At Mugi, we believe that the right care equals longer-lasting clothes. Here’s why:

1. Cotton: Strong but Sensitive to Shrinkage

Cotton is breathable and sturdy, but it tends to shrink when exposed to hot water. Use mild detergents and wash in cold or lukewarm water to keep cottons soft and true to size.

2. Silk: Delicate and Luxurious

Silk needs gentle handling. Harsh detergents or rough cycles can strip away its sheen. Always wash with a mild liquid detergent like Mugi’s gentle liquid detergent range and avoid wringing.

3. Wool: Warm but Easily Damaged

Wool is prone to shrinking and felting. It’s best washed in cool water with a specialized detergent. Skip the dryer — let it air dry flat to maintain shape.

4. Synthetics (Polyester, Nylon, etc.): Tough Yet Tricky

These fabrics resist wrinkles but attract odors. They benefit from detergents that not only clean but also remove odor-causing bacteria. Wash inside-out to prevent wear and static.

5. Blends: The In-Betweeners

Fabric blends (like cotton-poly) need balanced care. Mild liquid detergents keep them bright without breaking down fibers.

Why It Matters

Using one wash for everything may be quick, but it risks fading, shrinking, or damaging your favorite clothes. Choosing the right detergent and wash method for each fabric keeps them looking new, feeling soft, and lasting longer.
