You should also remember that snowsuits need to be washed with care so as not to damage the filling or lining. Typically, padding polyester is used as a filler, and at high machine speeds it turns into pieces of cotton wool and is not evenly distributed inside. Therefore, in order not to spoil the item, it is recommended to follow the instructions for proper care. It is recommended to dry winter models in a straightened position on some surface. Otherwise, clothing may become severely deformed under the weight of water. Summer clothes made from cotton can be washed at any temperature.
