The washing instructions for your garments contain complete information on caring for them. Here are a few more tips on caring for certain materials and garments.

Knits

Knits should be reshaped and dried flat to maintain the original shape.

Linen

Linen is natural material and can easily get mis-shapen when wet. To restore the garment to its original shape, iron it with a hot steam iron. To keep its sheen, iron the garment on the reverse side.

Viscose

Viscose is natural material and can easily get mis-shapen when wet. To restore the garment to its original shape, iron it with a hot steam iron.

Silk

Silk is very delicate material and should be treated with care. Use a detergent for delicates when washing silk and do not stretch the garment when wet.

Wool

Often, airing woolen garments is enough. Use a detergent for washing when you do wash them. Use the wool or hand wash cycle on your washing machine or wash by hand. Iron after washing to restore the natural sheen.

Denim

Wash jeans inside out to stop them fading. Remove them from washing machine as soon as possible after washing to avoid creasing. Denim's characteristic appearance is the result of a special dying method. As a result, small pigment particles may remain on the surface and can rub off.

Leather

Leather and suede items should always be dry-cleaned.

Details

Take off removable details and do up Velcro and zip fastenings before washing.
