The HAMO Guide to Product Care
Most of society believes that natural fabrics do not require special care. In fact, this is not true. The more natural the fabric is, it means it does not contain any impurities (such as viscose) and it needs more care. The advantage of natural fabrics lies in their properties. When we wear products made of natural fabrics, we know that the skin breathes. That is why it is important, when you decide to become a consumer of natural fabric products, to get as much information about the fabric and how to care for it.
Canvas
Canvas fabric can be washed by hand or in a washing machine at 30 degrees, in cold or slightly warm water. Canvas is a very crumple fabric, so when washing in a washing machine, it is advisable to wash the product inside out, do not wash with heavy fabrics such as jeans. Washing at temperatures above 30 degrees will cause 10% fabric shrink and weaken the fabric fibers. Do not use the purge mode. When washing, use detergent, not powder. We recommend the use of an additional fabric softener, which will keep the fabric soft longer.
Cotton
Cotton fabric is made from natural plant fibers. Clothing made of cotton fabric is quite comfortable and breathable. Clothes made of 100% natural cotton require more care, as they are able to retain their original appearance for a long time, despite the washing. It is recommended to wash them by hand or in a washing machine. Natural fabrics all dyed, so in order to preserve the color of the fabric for a long time and not to make it shrink, washing should be carried out at a temperature below 30 degrees, in cold or slightly warm water, using a liquid, not powder. When washing in a machine, the spin mode should be turned off. Using an extra fabric softener will keep the fabric soft for longer periods of time.

How to wash and care for silk clothing?
If you make frequent trips to the dry cleaners to have your delicate garments cleaned by professionals, there's one fabric you can take out of the mix: silk. Though the smooth, thin material may feel like something that needs to be handled by experts, you can actually clean these pieces at home, so long as you're gentle.
How to wash silk at home?
Treat Stains
There's no need to purchase a specific stain fighter for silk. Instead, make a homemade solution by mixing 2 cups of lukewarm water with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar. This recipe is especially good for deodorant and perspiration stains.
After testing for colorfastness, fill a clean spray bottle with your mix and spray on the stain. Use a sponge or double the fabric and gently work the mixture into the area.The key is to be gentle, since rubbing can damage the fibers.
Hand Wash
While you can toss your silk pieces in a gentle wash cycle, Whitehurst says it's best to wash these velvety soft items one at a time in the sink. Fill your basin with cool or cold water to help keep the color, then add a gentle detergent that's free of harsh ingredients. Whitehurst recommends using a mild shampoo, or gentle detergent.
Place the garment in the water, give it a stir, and let it sit for just a few minutes.Silk releases dirt quickly, so the process doesn't take long.. Next, drain the soapy mix and rinse with cool, running water.
How to dry silk?
Never wring out your silk items or toss them in the dryer, says Whitehurst. To remove excess water, place the wet garment on a white cotton towel. Fold the towel over and gently blot. Then, using a padded hanger, hang the blouse or dress over the bathtub to drip dry.
Pro tip: Don't hang sink items in the sun—this accelerates fading. The drying process shouldn't take more than an hour.
