Washing Tips
-
Delicate fabrics (silk, chiffon, lace): Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent.
-
Cotton and linen: Machine wash in cold or lukewarm water. Use gentle cycle.
-
Synthetic fabrics (polyester, rayon): Use mild detergent and avoid hot water.
-
Kids’ partywear with embellishments: Always hand wash or dry clean to protect embroidery, sequins, and beads.
-
Avoid direct sunlight – it can fade colors quickly.
-
Lay flat or hang clothes indoors in a shaded, airy space.
-
Never wring delicate fabrics; gently press out excess water with a towel.
-
Use low heat for silks and synthetics.
-
Cotton can handle medium to high heat, but turn inside out to protect prints.
-
For delicate dresses, a garment steamer is safer than a hot iron.
-
Store partywear in garment bags to protect from dust.
-
Use padded hangers for dresses to keep shape.
-
Keep naphthalene balls or cedar wood in cupboards to avoid insects, but never in direct contact with clothes.
