Caring for muslin products

8 December 2022

Exquisite and lightweight fabrics have always been prized by fashion designers and individual consumers alike. The MBocharova brand is traditionally accustomed to pleasing its customers with high-quality products made of the best materials. Therefore, for the production of dresses and suits along with various types of cotton, we use muslin, which is probably one of the best fabrics for this purpose.  

The name of the fabric, which has a bright oriental color, comes from the Iranian city of Musol, where a special method of weaving threads was invented. Thus, muslin is not the name of a separate fabric, but rather a technological process that produces an extremely lightweight yet durable material that is exceptionally soft. Modern muslin is based on cotton, silk and wool fibers. Bamboo muslin is also gaining in popularity, which is distinguished from other fabrics by its characteristic sheen and increased durability. The main characteristics of the final product and methods of caring for muslin products partly depend on the base fiber. However, the general characteristics of any muslin fabric remain the same, which should be taken into account when choosing this particular fabric. 

The vast majority of people who have touched muslin will agree with its poetic description: “it's a fabric you would want to wrap your baby in.” And indeed: the fabric is perfectly breathable, soft to the touch, hygroscopic and warm. It is probably the only type of fabric that does not become stiffer with each wash, but actually softer. Since the raw materials for textiles are natural, the final product is hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. That's why muslin is used for baby diapers and wraps, underwear, bodysuits and turtlenecks, shirts and much more.  

Caring for muslin products

  • General care tips for muslin include washing at a water temperature no higher than 40°C, shaking off moisture before drying, avoiding direct sunlight and ironing when damp;

  • Cotton muslin can moult, especially during the first wash. Therefore, check the product for dye, and even better, wash it separately the first time;

  • For ironing cotton muslin, the “Cotton” mode is suitable. However, the best method for straightening such products is steam ironing;

  • Silk muslin is best washed by hand in slightly warm water and using mild detergents to avoid damaging the extremely delicate tkaniny;

  • Silk muslin should be dried without air, for which a dryer or at least a room closed from the sun and wiatru;

  • Washed wool muslin garments should be gently wrung out, then spread horizontally to dry;

  • Using wool conditioner when washing wool muslin protects it from creasing. After drying, such items can be worn without ironing;

It is not allowed:

  • Do not bleach or starch cotton muslin;

  • Iron silk and wool muslin using the contact method - hold the iron a few millimeters above the fabric and spray generously with steam;  

  • Wash clothes made of muslin with other clothes that have hooks, sharp inserts or Velcro fasteners - mechanical damage to the delicate fabric is unavoidable.
