Guidelines and tips
- Scrupulously follow the care instructions. They indicate the most suitable temperature and wash cycle.
- Choose the right cycle on your washing machine according to the composition of the item and the coulors.
- Your machine has different cycles suitable for all kinds of textiles (wool cycle, gentle cycle, cotton cycle, synthetic cycle...)
- Do not mix whites with dark or bright colors.
1. Wash and iron inside out
- This will protect your garment from pilling, fading, and/or dulling.
- This will protect serigraphs and accessories (buttons, beads,...) from mechanical aggressions.
2. Adjust the amount of detergent to the degree of soiling of the laundry, the amount of load, and to the harness of the water in your region
- Today’s detergents are very efficient but using too much can harm colors and natural textile fibers.
- See instructions for your detergent on the back of the packaging.
- Contact your city hall for information concerning the hardness of your water.
3. Choose the right detergent for your laundry
- Detergent manufacturers have developed specific products for every type of textile :
- “Classic” detergents are efficient for removing stains and bleaching ;
- “Color” detergents protect colors ;
- Special detergents for “black” fabrics preserve the intensity of black and dark colors ;
- Special detergents for “delicate” fabrics protect animal fibers (wool, silk).
4. Air dry rather than tumble dry even if the care label allows it
- Clothes dryers wear your clothes more quickly.
- Softeners block the pores of the membranes which then lose their breathability.
6. Use a mild iron (110°C) on the outside of waterproof fabrics when the care label allows it
- Ironing will reactivate the water repellency of the fabrics.
