Product Info - Care of your product

Cotton

For fabrics made of 100% cotton:
1) Set your washing machine to the low setting.
2) Wash the cloth in cold water.
3) Set your iron to Medium to iron it.
4) Do not bleach the cloth.
5) Hang to dry but do not tumble dry.

50% Cotton and 50% Polyester:
1) Turn it inside out and machine wash with warm water.
2) Wash with fabrics that are of light colours.
3) Use only non-chlorine bleach to bleach the cloth.
4) Tumble dry with a medium setting.
5) Set your iron to medium for ironing.

Wool

It is better to hand wash your woolen products. Shampoos can be used to wash such garments. Use a good shampoo not one containing "crème rinse". If shampoo can clean your hair without leaving residues, it can clean your woolen products too. Be careful of what softener you use because softeners may add products to your wool. Some types of softeners may leave a coating on the fiber making it feel softer and smoother, but at the same time causing your wool to lose its absorbency.

Silk

It is best to dry clean your silk garment either by individual or bulk method, in order to maintain the characteristic of the silk.

Dry clean: Sending it to the dry cleaners may be done but make sure that you inform the dry cleaner that your garment is made of silk.

Hand wash:
1) Make sure you wash in cool water.
2) Use a small amount of soap or mild detergent to wash the silk.
3) After washing it, rinse in cold water.
4) Hang it or lay it flat in a shaded area to dry.
5) If pressing is needed, use an all cotton iron board cover, a low or moderate steam setting, and press on the wrong side of the fabric while ironing.

Other Tips:

• To keep white silk white, add peroxide and ammonia to the wash.
• Do not use bleach or any washing detergent with bleach
• To remove yellow from white silk, add a few teaspoons of white vinegar to the wash.

Nylon

1) Machine wash in cold water.
2) Wash it separately from other types of fabric.
3) If needed, use only non-chlorine bleach to bleach your nylon garment.
4) Turn the setting to low before tumbling dry.
5) Remove your nylon garment promptly from the tumbler.

Other Tips:

• Extensive washing and drying in an automatic dryer can lead to piling.
• White nylon should be washed separately to avoid it turning grey.
• To avoid yellowing of your white nylon, you should bleach it frequently with Sodium Perborate bleach.

Polyester

1) Machine-wash your fabric in cold water.
2) Wash with light colours.
3) Use a gentle cycle while washing.
4) Tumble dry with the setting low.
5) Do not bleach.
6) If needed, iron with a cool iron.
