Start with the label, not the laundry basket
The Cabana Cotton Hi Cut Brief in Deep Wisteria is made from 94% cotton and 6% Spandex, with a delicate crochet trim. That blend is soft and lightweight, but the care instructions are specific: hand wash separately in cold water, use only non-chlorine bleach when needed, line dry, and low iron if needed.
Those four steps are the whole routine. The main risk to the Deep Wisteria color is not everyday wear but heat and harsh chemistry, so keep the wash cool, skip chlorine bleach, and let the brief air dry.
How to hand wash the Deep Wisteria brief
Work through these steps in order. Each one comes from the fabric and care instructions supplied for this brief.
- Wash it separately: The label says hand wash separately. Washing it apart from other items keeps dye transfer and abrasion away from the crochet trim.
- Use cold water: Cold water is specified. Avoid hot water, which is not part of the care instructions and can stress both the cotton and the color.
- Choose a non-chlorine bleach only if needed: The instructions allow only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Chlorine bleach is not part of the approved routine.
- Line dry: Skip the dryer and line dry the brief. This protects the Spandex stretch and the Deep Wisteria shade.
- Iron on low if needed: A low iron is permitted if the brief comes off the line creased. Keep the iron low and avoid pressing the crochet trim.

Protecting the Deep Wisteria color
Deep Wisteria is a saturated purple, and saturated cotton colors are the ones most likely to show fading if they are washed hot or dried in a machine. The care instructions already point you in the right direction: cold water, no chlorine bleach, and line drying.
Washing the brief separately also matters for color. It keeps the purple from transferring onto lighter items and keeps other dyes from dulling it. If you ever need to brighten the brief, use only non-chlorine bleach, as the label allows, and only when needed.
There is no color-retention product or special detergent named in the supplied care instructions, so treat those as optional personal preferences rather than requirements.
Do this, skip that
A quick reference for the habits that follow the label and the ones that work against it.
- Do: hand wash in cold water: This is the specified method and the gentlest option for the cotton, Spandex, and crochet trim.
- Do: line dry: Air drying protects the stretch and the Deep Wisteria shade without added heat.
- Skip: chlorine bleach: Only non-chlorine bleach is allowed, and only when needed.
- Skip: machine drying: The label calls for line drying, so the dryer is not part of the approved routine.
- Skip: washing with a mixed load: The brief is meant to be washed separately, which limits dye transfer and snags.
What the care instructions do not cover
The supplied information does not include a recommended water temperature beyond cold, a drying time, or guidance on storing the brief. It also does not say whether the crochet trim needs any treatment beyond the general wash instructions.
If you are unsure about a stain or a repair, the safest approach is to stay within the four supplied steps rather than adding a treatment the label does not mention.
