Caring for Your Clothes: Keep Them Looking Their Best

We believe your clothes should last you season after season. With proper care, you can maintain their quality and ensure they stay as good as new. Here’s a quick guide to help you care for your garments:

1. Follow the Label Instructions

Each piece of clothing comes with specific care instructions on its label. Always refer to these to ensure you're using the correct cleaning method and temperature.

2. Wash with Care

• Separate by Color: Always separate light and dark colors to avoid dye transfer.
• Delicate Fabrics: Use a gentle cycle and cold water. For extra protection, place these items in a mesh laundry bag.
• Heavy Fabrics: Turn inside out before washing to minimize fading and protect the fabric's surface.
• Socks:
  • Turn socks inside out before washing to remove lint and maintain softness.
  • Wash on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water. Avoid hot water, as it can shrink the fabric and weaken elasticity.
• Cotton Materials:
  • Turn Inside Out: Always turn your cotton shirts inside out before washing. This minimizes friction and protects the printed design from fading or cracking.
  • Use Cold Water: Wash in cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage and protect the print.
  • Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or delicate cycle to reduce stress on both the fabric and print.
  • Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or those with bleach, which can damage the print.

3. Use the Right Detergent

Make use of mild, eco-friendly detergents to preserve fabric quality. Avoid bleach unless specified, as it can weaken fibers and cause discoloration.

4. Dry Gently

• Air Dry Whenever Possible: This reduces the risk of shrinkage and maintains the fabric’s elasticity. Hang or lay flat to dry, especially for knits and delicates.
• Tumble Dry: If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting. Remove clothes promptly to minimize wrinkles.

5. Iron or Steam with Care

• Check the Heat Setting: Different fabrics require different temperatures. Always refer to your garment's care label.
• Steam for a Quick Refresh: A handheld steamer can quickly remove wrinkles and freshen your clothes without direct contact.

6. Storage Tips

• Fold Heavy Garments: Knitwear, and other heavy items should be folded to prevent stretching.
• Hang Lightweight Items: Shorts, Joggers and Shirts should be hung to maintain their shape. Use padded hangers to avoid marks on delicate fabrics.

7. Spot Clean When Needed

For minor stains, blot (don’t rub) the area with a clean, damp cloth. Use a gentle stain remover if necessary, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.

By following these simple tips, you’ll keep your wardrobe in great condition.
