The care label is the starting point for each garment. Similar-looking fabrics may need different washing, drying or pressing methods.
Prepare before washing
Empty pockets, close fastenings where appropriate and separate items according to their labels and colorfastness. Treat a mark only with a method suited to the fabric; test in an inconspicuous area when the care guidance permits.
Store with a little space
Make sure clothing is dry before putting it away. Fold pieces that may stretch on a hanger, and give structured items appropriate support.
A simple routine is easier to keep than a complicated one. Let the garment’s instructions guide the details.
