Garment Care and Maintenance Policy

Follow Washing Instructions

Adhering to the washing instructions on the care label is crucial for preserving the quality and longevity of your garments. Always use the specified water temperature and select the appropriate cycle on your washing machine. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners unless the label indicates they are safe. For delicate fabrics or intricate designs, hand washing might be recommended. Following these instructions helps prevent damage such as shrinking, color bleeding, or wear and tear, ensuring that your garments maintain their original look and feel for an extended period.

Proper Drying

Drying garments correctly is essential for maintaining their shape and size. Always follow the care label’s instructions regarding drying methods. Air-drying is generally preferred for most fabrics as it helps prevent shrinkage and fabric damage caused by high heat. For items that can be tumble dried, use the lowest heat setting to reduce the risk of heat damage. Avoid overloading the dryer, as this can lead to uneven drying and potential wear. For delicate fabrics, lay flat or hang to dry to retain their shape and avoid stretching or distortion.

Ironing and Pressing

Iron garments according to the care label’s recommended temperature settings. Use the appropriate heat level for the fabric type to prevent scorching or melting. For delicate materials, consider using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and prevent direct contact with the iron. Avoid ironing over any embellishments, prints, or embroidery as this can damage them. For best results, iron garments while they are slightly damp or use a steam setting to help remove wrinkles more effectively. Proper ironing not only helps in maintaining the garment’s appearance but also ensures a crisp and polished look.

Storage Guidelines

Proper storage is vital for extending the life of your garments. Store clothing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fabric deterioration. Use appropriate hangers for items that need to maintain their shape, such as jackets and dresses, to avoid stretching or misshaping. Fold items like sweaters and knitwear to prevent stretching and distortion. Ensure that your storage area is free from moisture and pests to avoid mildew and damage. For seasonal items, consider using garment bags to protect them from dust and potential damage while they are not in use.
