Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber known for its softness. It has a similar fabric to silk and is commonly used across clothing and household items. Purex® shares common garments and household items made with rayon how to properly care for your rayon fabrics and clothing.
Due to rayon being a lighter fabric, you’ll often see that it’s a fabric worn in the summer. This includes being used in dresses, blouses, skirts, and shirts. It is known to be a softer and more breathable fabric.
Due to the lightweight fabric and smoothness, rayon is found in bedding products such as blankets, sheets, and pillowcases.
Since rayon is a softer fabric, Purex® recommends checking the care label to see if the item has specific wash instructions. Use cool water and the gentle cycle setting, using Purex® detergent. For an added boost of freshness, use Purex® Crystals. Toss them in your washer for up to 12 weeks of freshness and odor elimination.
Let the garment or item drip dry, not putting rayon fabric through the dryer.
Do not twist or wring. Also, avoid the use of chlorine bleach, as that could stain the fabric.
