GARMENT CARE
Procedure to follow for a perfect wash
1. SORT THE LAUNDRY.
Wash white and pale garments separately from coloured
and dark garments.
2. READ THE CLOTHING LABELS CAREFULLY.
To check the garment's maximum washing temperature
and wash type (hand wash, machine wash or dry clean).
3. SELECT THE APPROPRIATE WASH CYCLE AND
TEMPERATURE.
The temperature, wash cycle and spin will vary according
to the garment composition. Natural fabric such as wool,
linen and silk will shrink if washed excessively at high
temperature and will lose shape if spun or hung vertically.
Artificial and synthetic fibers are very sensitive to heat and
therefore must be washed in warm water and ironed
inside out at low temperature. Jeans should be washed
inside out and never at more than 40°C.
4. ADD THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF DETERGENT.
Adding too much detergent damages clothes, harms the
environment and if detergent does not dissolve correctly,
clothes may become stained.
5. DRY THE CLOTHES.
Spin drying and direct exposure to sunlight during drying
tends to make clothes lumpy. After machine washing, it is
a good idea to dry clothes immediately, as leaving
laundry in the washing machine for extended periods may
cause unpleasant odours and humidity in garments.
6. IRON THE CLOTHES.
Start ironing at lowest temperature. Iron the clothes slightly
damp or inside out in case of dark colours.
