steam treatments not recommended. |
Dry-cleaning
For some of our garments we recommend dry-cleaning. The reason
for this may be that the clothes contain details/materials such
as shoulder pads, fur collars and acetate linings that may discolor
or shrink if washed in water. Leather and suede garments should
always be cleaned by a leather specialist.
|
Dry-clean with regular
dry cleaning fluids. |
|
Do not dry-clean. No stain
removal with solvents. |
Drying
To maintain the garment's original look it's important to notice
the symbol that indicates whether it should be tumble dried or
not. Never tumble dry garments that cannot take tumble-drying!
If you choose to dry your garments in an airing cupboard you have
to make sure that the temperature does not exceed the one given
on the care label. Drying at room temperature is the best thing
for many garments.

No tumble dry. |

settings. Maximum temperature 45°C. |

Sorting
Sort garments by color and given washing temperatures. Always
wash similar colors clothes together. Colored garments can release
excess dye if washed at a higher temperature.
Detergent
Do not use too much! Too much detergent does not give better results.
The excess may remain in the clothes and cause skin irritation.
Measure out the detergent according to the instructions on the
packet. It’s important to know whether the water in your area
is hard (use more detergent) or soft (use less detergent). Call
your local water authority if you’re not sure. Do not use detergent
with optical whitening or bleaching agents on colored garments,
which may cause the colors fade.
