Wash Instructions
General Instructions
- Mild machine washing or cool hand washing.
- Wash colors individually and avoid twisting or wringing.
- To prevent fading, spin dry on a cool setting or dry in the shade.
- Use the linen option on a warm or hot iron.
- A garment is subjected to lesser agitation while it is washed manually than it would be in a washing machine.
- The fabric and fibres will be damaged less if there is less agitation.
- For delicate materials like wool and silk, which have a propensity to be harmed and stretched out in the washing machine, washing them by hand is advised.
COTTON & MORE
- The majority of manufacturers of 100% cotton clothing advise hand washing them in cold water with a light detergent.
- They will be able to maintain their excellent looks the longest thanks to this.
- White cotton can be washed up to 95 degrees Celsius, however coloured cotton should only be washed at 60 degrees Celsius, with the shortest rinse time and shortest spin cycle.
SYNTHETIC
- High temperatures can cause synthetic textiles to shrink, but polyester doesn’t require a cold or delicate wash cycle.
- You should wash your polyester textiles at 40 degrees, as recommended.
- Polyester does not require a particular detergent, and adding fabric softener is optional.
CONTEMPORARY FABRICS
- Pre-soak in a mixture of 14 cup fragrant water and cool water, wash on a delicate cycle, and hang dry.
- For drying, wrap the item in an absorbent towel, rub it dry, and afterwards hang it up to dry away from light and the sun.
- Never blow dry or iron because this will reduce the suppleness of the fabric.
LACES & MORE
- The “hand wash” cycle of your machine should be used to wash the majority of lace products.
- Use a delicate wash bag and a moderate, cool wash cycle every time.
- Utilise a detergent designed for fragile materials.
- If you decide to wash the clothes by hand, take particular care not to rub the fabric.
