Garment Care

Please find below tips and tricks to ensure the best life of your garment.

Washing

Before washing, always look at the care label and carefully follow the instructions. Most good quality detergents, washing machines and fabrics are manufactured to ensure that when the stated instructions are adhered to and the garment is washed according to the said temperature and dried as per the procedures mentioned; they will wash well and look good after each wash

The following points should be used as guidelines for all garments:

  • Before washing, close all zips, undo buttons, check pockets for loose or sharp objects, flatten out collars and cuffs.

  • Always refer to the label before washing

  • Turn Garments inside out to avoid and reduce abrasion caused by other garments, trims and contamination by fibres from other garments during the wash cycle.

  • Always check to ensure the Washing Machine is not overloaded.

  • Use a good quality detergent and ensure that the right amount of detergent is used.

Rare Problems

Problem Solution/Precaution
Garment Shrinkage Excessive Shrinkage is primarily due to factors such as heat and major agitation during the wash cycle. Always wash as per instructions stated on the label.
Fading Due to Sunlight The effects of fading due to Sunlight are both harmful & irreversible. Constant and prolonged exposure to sunlight should be reduced as far as possible.
Pilling & Bobbling Abrasion and lack of care/timely washing of the garment leads to fibre balls appearing on the surface of the fabric. Remove by mild surface brushing.
Trims/Accessories Breaking off Trims & accessories like zippers, toggles, pocket lining and elastic cords are constructed for normal usage. Extensive abuse of the garment involving sharp objects, work areas with machinery and even the off outburst of brute force results in the garment being damaged.
