Due to their elegance and special material, sensitive and custom clothes need more care when washing. Improper washing of these types of clothes can damage them, fade their color, or cause them to become watery and change their size.
Here are some tips for washing delicate and custom clothes correctly:
Before washing:
Read the label: The first step is always to read the label. In this label, the instructions for washing and maintaining the clothes are fully described. Pay attention to the signs on the label and follow them.
Categorize clothes: separate sensitive and custom clothes from other clothes. Also, wash clothes of the same color together to prevent them from staining each other.
Remove stains: Before washing, remove stains from clothes using a suitable stain remover.
Close the zipper and buttons: Before washing, close the zipper and buttons of the clothes so as not to damage the fabric.
Wash:
Hand washing: If possible, it is better to hand wash sensitive clothes and costumes. For this, use cold or lukewarm water and mild detergent. Swirl the garment gently in the water and avoid grabbing or rubbing it.
Washing with a washing machine: If you have to use a washing machine, use the delicate or manual washing program of the machine. Use low heat and cold or lukewarm water. It is also better not to use the dryer cycle and spread the clothes flat on a clothesline or towel to dry.
detergents:
Use a mild detergent: Do not use strong detergents containing bleach to wash delicate and custom clothes. Detergents for delicate clothes or odorless detergents are suitable options for washing these types of clothes.
Do not use fabric softener: fabric softener can damage the delicate fibers of clothing and cause stains.
dry:
Do not use a dryer: the high heat of the dryer can damage delicate clothes and costumes.
Spread clothes flat on a clothesline or towel to dry: The best way to dry delicate and custom clothes is to spread them flat on a clothesline or towel in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
Avoid ironing directly on the clothes: To iron sensitive and custom clothes, use a steam iron or a thin cloth between the iron and the clothes.
Additional notes:
Avoid hanging wet clothes on hangers: Hanging wet clothes on hangers can change their shape and elasticity.
Store delicate and custom clothes in cloth bags: Storing delicate and custom clothes in cloth bags instead of plastic bags will help preserve their quality and color.
If necessary, use a dry cleaner: If you are not sure about washing your delicate and custom clothes, it is better to leave them to an accredited dry cleaner.
