To keep your garments looking their best, take care how you wash them.
Silk. Fill a washing up bowl with lukewarm water and a small amount of liquid detergent for delicate fabrics. Lightly agitate for three to five minutes and then rinse well. If the care label advises machine washing, choose a gentle cold water cycle.
Jeans. Always wash inside out and do up the zip and button to help them keep their shape. Use a detergent designed for colours as these do not contain bleach. Don't tumble dry or dry in sunlight.
To Prevent Fading. Turn tops inside out when washing to limit direct exposure to detergent. Use a liquid detergent designed for colours (detergents for whites contain optical brighteners) and don't dry
items in direct sunlight.
Bras. Don't wash too often - every 3 to 4 wears is fine. Wash in a pillowcase to protect washing machine from metal fastenings. Avoid tumble drying. Line dry and store by hanging from central section.
