Special Notes
• More durable than rayon when wet
• Retains softness after washing
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — modal is more wash-stable than rayon
- • Tumble dry on low heat or line dry — remove promptly to prevent wrinkles
- • Iron on low heat if needed; modal is somewhat wrinkle-resistant
- • Avoid bleach — it breaks down cellulosic fibers; use oxygen-based stain removers instead
- • Avoid fabric softener — modal is already naturally soft and softener causes buildup
- • Store folded for knits and underwear; hang dresses and blouses on padded hangers
