Garment Care
Taking proper care of your garments is essential for ensuring their longevity and maintaining their original quality. To help you in this endeavor, we have compiled a set of general recommendations for garment care:
Sort your clothes:
Sort your clothes based on fabric type to prevent damage. Avoid washing coarse or synthetic items
together with fine or natural fabrics. Additionally, wash items of similar colors together to prevent color bleeding.
Wash clothes inside out:
To minimize wear during washing, turn your garments inside out. This simple step helps protect
the color and preserve the fabric's original quality.
Delicate spin:
Utilize the delicate spin program on your washing machine when appropriate. This setting helps garments maintain their original condition for longer periods and reduces the formation of pilling.
Choose detergent wisely:
Select a detergent specifically formulated for the type and color of fabric you are washing. Using
the correct detergent ensures that your clothes retain their original appearance. Avoid using excessive amounts of detergent to prevent residue on clothes and within seams.
Drying clothes:
Hang-drying garments reduces wear and minimizes wrinkling. To maintain the original shape and color of your clothes, dry them in a well-ventilated area at room temperature, away from heat sources.
Follow ironing recommendations:
Different fabrics require specific ironing temperature and moisture levels. Refer to the information on the garment's label and adhere to the recommended guidelines. Start ironing at a low temperature, using the "silk" mode, to avoid damaging the fabric.
Clothes storage:
Store your clothes appropriately based on fabric type, style, and seasonality. Hang shirts, blouses, dresses, and jackets on suitable hangers that match the width of the shoulders. For skirts and trousers, use hangers with clothespins. Fold jerseys, bulky sweaters, and jeans to prevent stretching and loss of shape. When storing items for a particular season, consider using clothing covers to protect against dust, moisture, and pollution.
Utilize a lint remover:
Fabrics can develop lint or pilling over time. To prevent soft pills from becoming dense pilling, use a lint remover periodically. This helps maintain the appearance and feel of your garments.
Important considerations for colored or black fabrics:
When purchasing garments made of colored or black fabrics, keep in mind that they may release
excess dye. Washing or rinsing the item before the first wear is recommended to remove any excess dye or dust particles.
By following these general recommendations, you can extend the life of your garments, preserve their original quality, and enjoy them for years to come.
