HOW TO CARE FOR DARK CLOTHES
1.
Always check the washing instructions on the
wash/care label!
2.
Always wash dark colors in cold water, it will
prevent fading.
3.
Always use mild detergent, preferably BAR SOAP
or LIQUID DETERGENT. Avoid POWDER detergents as undissolved particles will
cling to the garment and leave the finish DULL.
4.
Always dry dark clothing INSIDE-OUT. It’s also preferable
to wash them inside-out.
5.
Only wash dark clothing WHEN NECESSARY as
frequent washing causes fading.
6.
Do not IRON dark clothing directly; use a piece
of clothing instead. Alternatively, Iron dark clothing INSIDE-OUT.
7.
OCCASIONALLY soak your BLACK clothing in a cold
SOLUTION of TEA or COFFEE as this helps to retain the black dye in the
clothing.
8.
If ALL ELSE fails, simply give the clothing to
your mum to wash for you, she knows best!
