After wear, hang clothing overnight in an airy place (doorways,
windows), before putting away. This will allow creases to
relax and prevent odour build-up in wardrobes and drawers. |
|
|
•
Avoid garment contact with solutions containing alcohol
(aftershave, perfume), as these can cause colour-loss. |
|
|
•
When dressing, allow time for deodorants and antiperspirants
to dry first. |
|
|
•
Protect garments from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
as this can result in shading. |
|
|
•
Stains should be treated and removed as early as possible
(days rather than weeks) after occurrence. Older stains
set. |
|
|
•
Do not iron garments with stains. Heat can set stains. |
|
|
•
If treating stains at home, try blotting with a clean white
cloth rather than rubbing which can damage the surface,
spread the stain, and remove colour. |
|
|
•
If taking to the drycleaner, point out the stains and give
as much information as you have. This can help in getting
the stain ejected at first attempt. |
|
|
•
With suits (and other matching sets), it is advisable in
the case of dark colours and essential with medium and light
colours, to have all pieces cleaned together. |
