Special Notes
• More heat-resistant than acetate
• Can be machine washed and dried
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash warm (40°C/105°F) on gentle cycle — triacetate handles heat better than standard acetate
- • Tumble dry on low heat — remove from dryer promptly to prevent wrinkle setting
- • Iron on medium heat — triacetate tolerates more heat than acetate but less than cotton
- • Avoid acetone-based products — triacetate shares acetate's vulnerability to solvents
- • Pleated triacetate garments hold their pleats well through washing — a key advantage
- • Store on hangers for dresses and skirts; fold knits to prevent stretching
