1. Shrinkage After Washing

Problem:
Cotton Astar is prone to shrinkage, especially when washed at high temperatures, leading to ill-fitting or distorted garments.

Solutions:

• • Prewash the fabric fabric in cold water before stitching
• • cold or lukewarm water. Wash stitched garments
• • air-dry in the shade. Avoid machine dryers; instead,
• • Choose pre-shrunk Astar fabric when available.

2. Wrinkling and Creasing

Problem:
Cotton Astar is prone to shrinkage, especially when washed at high temperatures, leading to ill-fitting or distorted garments.

Solutions:

• • Use a medium heat or steam iron.
• • Store fabric rolled instead of folded
• • For persistent wrinkles, professional steaming is ideal.
• • Browse our Gallery to see how fabric is handled and presented.

3. Color Fading and Discoloration

Problem:
Frequent washing or sun exposure can cause Astar fabric to lose its color intensity, especially in darker shades.

Solutions:

• • Use mild detergents suitable for colored fabrics.
• • Always turn garments inside out before washing
• • Dry in the shade to avoid UV fading.
• • Explore pre-dyed Astar lining fabrics for consistent color retention.

4. Pilling and Surface Wear

Problem:
Friction during wear or wash cycles can lead to pilling (fiber balls) on the fabric surface.

Solutions:

• • Opt for high-quality Astar with dense weaving from Pali Mills.
• • Hand wash or use gentle machine cycles.
• • Remove pills gently using a fabric shaver.
• • Avoid washing with rough materials like denim.

5. Stains and Spot Cleaning Issues

Problem:
Sweat, oil, or accidental spills can stain Astar linings and be tough to clean.

Solutions:

• • Blot stains gently—do not rub.
• • Use mild stain removers tested on hidden areas.
• • For oil stains, apply talcum powder or cornstarch before washing.
• • For delicate pieces, consider dry cleaning or reach out via our Contact Page for expert advice.

6. Fraying or Damage at Seams

Problem:
Heavy use or poor construction may cause the fabric to fray or wear out along seam lines.

Solutions:

• • Reinforce seams with quality stitching techniques.
• • Choose heavier GSM Astar variants for frequent-use garments.
• • Avoid tugging garments harshly.
• • Replace or patch lining early to avoid full replacement.

7. Loss of Softness or Fabric Stiffness

Problem:
Over time, harsh detergents and drying methods can make Astar stiff and less breathable.

Solutions:

• • Soak occasionally in a diluted vinegar solution before washing.
• • Avoid drying under direct sunlight or high heat.
• • For soft-touch Astar, browse our premium cotton lining collection.
