Care of Your
Apparel
Our advice on
keeping your embellished items looking good.
Home Laundering Instructions
-
All embroidered garments
should be washed with a mild laundering agent that will not
react harshly with the embroidery or fabric.
-
Machine wash in cold water
using a DELICATE wash cycle.
-
Turn printed garments inside out for washing.
-
Optical bleaching agents or
heavy-duty detergents may cause discoloration. Do not use chlorine
bleach or optical brightening agents.
Additional Advice
-
Do not pack embroidery items
tightly in washing machine!! Never leave any piece of embroidered
clothing soaking in water or lying in a pile when wet. Remove promptly
after wash cycle completion.
-
After washing, make sure that
embroidery is rinsed in cold water immediately and that all residue is
thoroughly washed out of the fabric. DO NOT wring out the embroidered
articles.
-
In order to obtain the best
results from washing, it is recommended that you repeat rinsing until
the fabric is free of residue. If color residue appears in water,
rinse first in lukewarm water and then cold water several times until
rinse water becomes clear.
-
Stain remover may damage color
fastness and consistency of thread, especially when embroidery is
rubbed briskly.
-
Do not rub stained embroidery.
Dry Cleaning
-
Embroidery may be dry-cleaned.
However, extreme care should be exercised when dry cleaning
embroidery.
-
Special care must be taken when
shades of red or orange are used due to dye methods used to produce
these colors.
-
Avoid use of pre-spotting
agents.
Industrial Laundering
Ironing
-
Embroidered and printed fabric should always
be ironed on the reverse side.
-
Dampen slightly before ironing fabric with a
steam iron at a low temperature setting.
It is also recommended to iron embroidery between two pieces of cloth.
NOTE:
Normally the care label instructions pertain to the garment, not the
embroidery. Special Care should be taken when laundering embroidered
garments.
