Washing & Pampering Your Clothes.

If you want your Garments to last longer time looking new, we have some useful tips for you.

Tips

We recommend that you follow the guidelines shown below:
  1. Sort the garments that need to be washed by colors and by how dirty the garments are. Stain removal products are more aggressive and it is best to avoid them when possible.
  2. Provide the recommended amount of detergent as the packaging states, because if you add more than the necessary amount, you may be left with traces of detergent in the fabric.
  3. Wash garments at a low temperature, because washing at high temperatures can use more energy and can wear out the garments.
  4. Do not leave the garments in the machine for too long after the washing cycle is finished. This will prevent unpleasant odors and wrinkling.
  5. If possible, place the garments in the shade to protect the colors from fading due to sun exposure.
  6. Do not fill the washing machine to the top: if it is completely full, the garments will not be able to move freely and will not be washed well.
