Proper care keeps your wardrobe looking sharp and lasting longer. Follow these simple guidelines to maintain the quality and appearance of your garments.
1. Cotton & Linen Care
Cotton and linen are breathable, natural fibers that are comfortable and easy to care for.
Washing
-
Machine wash in cold or warm water (max 30–40°C) with similar colors.
-
Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach or optical brighteners.
-
Turn garments inside out to protect prints or dark colors.
-
For linen, gentle cycle is recommended to reduce wrinkling.
Drying
-
Air dry whenever possible. Hang or lay flat away from direct sunlight.
-
Tumble dry on low heat if needed, but remove promptly to minimize wrinkles.
-
Cotton may shrink slightly; preshrunk fabrics are less likely to change size.
Ironing
-
Iron cotton while slightly damp on medium-high heat.
-
Linen is best ironed with steam on high heat, preferably while still damp.
-
Use a pressing cloth for dark fabrics to avoid shine.
2. Wool & Cashmere Care
Wool and cashmere are luxurious, insulating fibers that require gentle handling.
Washing
-
Dry clean is recommended for structured suits, coats, and fine knits.
-
For washable wool, use cold water (max 30°C) and a wool-specific detergent.
-
Do not wring or twist; gently squeeze out excess water.
-
Hand wash is safer than machine for delicate items.
Drying
-
Lay flat on a clean towel to dry, reshaping gently.
-
Never hang wool or cashmere when wet, as it can stretch.
-
Avoid direct heat or sunlight; dry away from radiators.
Storage
-
Fold knits and sweaters to prevent stretching on hangers.
-
Store with cedar blocks or lavender sachets to repel moths.
-
Brush lightly with a garment brush to remove pilling and dust.
3. Synthetic & Blended Fabrics (Polyester, Nylon, Elastane)
These materials are durable, wrinkle-resistant, and easy to maintain.
Washing
-
Machine wash in cold or warm water (max 40°C) with similar colors.
-
Use a regular detergent; avoid fabric softeners which can degrade elastane.
-
Turn inside out to reduce friction and pilling.
Drying
-
Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
-
Remove from dryer promptly to prevent static cling.
-
Do not iron synthetic fabrics; use a low-heat steam setting if necessary.
General Tips
-
Always check the care label inside the garment.
-
Treat stains immediately by blotting (not rubbing) with a mild soap solution.
-
Store clean items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
-
Rotate your wardrobe to reduce wear on frequently worn pieces.
