Product Care Tips

Caring for your items

Caring for your garments, shoes, and accessories are crucial to achieve our ‘Shrink Your Wardrobe’ ethos. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Choose an option

Washing:  Machine wash cold or warm with similar colours. Use regular detergent.

Drying:  Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on medium heat if needed.

Ironing:  Iron on medium heat for wrinkle removal.

Extra Considerations: 

Colour Fading: Wash dark or bright colours separately to avoid colour transfer.

Shrinkage: Cotton can shrink when dried on high heat, so opt for low heat or air drying.

Wrinkle Resistance: Cotton is prone to wrinkling, so ironing may be necessary.

Washing:  Machine wash cold inside out to preserve colour. Avoid frequent washing to maintain fabric strength.

Drying:  Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat to prevent shrinkage.

Ironing:  If needed, iron on medium heat.

Extra Considerations: 

Colour Retention: Washing denim inside out helps reduce colour fading.

Fabric Longevity: Avoid excessive washing to maintain the denim’s durability and shape.

Shrinkage: Like cotton, denim can shrink, so low-heat drying is recommended.

Shop Products

Washing:  Professional dry clean only. Do not wash at home to prevent damage.

Drying:  N/A (Dry cleaned items are handled by professionals).

Ironing:  Usually handled by the dry cleaner; if necessary, use low heat and a cloth barrier.

Extra Considerations: 

Fabric Integrity: Delicate fabrics or those with special finishes can be damaged by water or heat.

Longevity: Dry cleaning preserves the garment’s quality and prevents shrinkage or distortion.

Washing:  Hand wash with cold water using a mild detergent or dry clean. Avoid wringing.

Drying:  Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.

Ironing:  If needed, iron on the reverse side with low heat using a cloth barrier.

Extra Considerations: 

Delicacy: Silk is a delicate fabric that can be easily damaged by rough handling or harsh chemicals.

Colour Preservation: Cold water and gentle detergents help maintain silk’s vibrant colours.

Wrinkle Prevention: Steam or use a low-heat iron on the reverse side to avoid damaging the fabric’s surface.

Shop Products

Washing:  Machine wash cold with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce moisture-wicking properties.

Drying:  Hang dry or lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying to prevent damage to synthetic fibres.

Ironing:  Do not iron. High heat can damage synthetic materials and affect the performance of the fabric.

Extra Considerations: 

Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: These are often made from synthetic fibres like polyester or blends designed to draw moisture away from the body. The key here is to avoid anything that would coat or clog the fibres, such as fabric softeners or high-heat drying.

Odour and Bacteria Prevention: Sports gear is prone to developing odours due to sweat. Encourage immediate washing after use to prevent this. Additionally, using a sports-specific detergent or adding vinegar to the wash can help combat odours.

Durability: Abrasion from washing with rough fabrics can damage sports gear. Encourage washing sports items separately or with similar lightweight fabrics.

Special Features: Some sports gear has reflective elements, zippers, or other features that can be damaged by high heat or harsh washing conditions. Emphasize gentle washing and air drying to preserve these features.

Washing:  Machine wash cold. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain fabric properties.

Drying:  Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat.

Ironing:  Low heat if necessary, but often not required.

Extra Considerations: 

Heat Sensitivity: Synthetics like polyester can melt or warp if exposed to high heat, so avoid hot settings.

Static Cling: Without fabric softeners, synthetic fabrics may develop static. Air drying can help reduce this.

Shop Products

Washing:  Gentle hand wash with cold water. Use a mild detergent specifically for wool or delicates. Avoid agitation.

Drying:  Lay flat to dry, reshaping while damp. Avoid wringing and exposure to direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.

Ironing:  If necessary, steam or iron on low heat with a cloth barrier.

Extra Considerations: 

Shrinkage: Wool and delicate fabrics can shrink if exposed to heat or agitation. Always use cold water and avoid wringing.

Pilling: Use a gentle detergent to minimise pilling and maintain the fabric’s appearance.

Shape Retention: Reshape garments while drying to ensure they retain their original form.
