The following care instructions will help maintain the quality, colour, and fit of your denim garments, ensuring they remain soft and comfortable for years to come.

Washing:

• Turn your denim garment inside out before washing to preserve the colour and minimise friction
• Machine wash separately in cold water
• Use a mild detergent, preferably one designed for dark or coloured fabrics
• Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric and fade the colour
• Choose a gentle cycle with a slow spin speed to reduce wear and tear
• If you prefer to hand wash, gently agitate the garment in cold water with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly
• Do not soak your denim garment for extended periods

Drying:

• After washing, reshape your denim garment to its original form
• Hang your garment to air dry if possible. Hanging helps maintain the shape and prevents excessive stretching
• Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Dry them in a shaded area or indoors
  
• Do not tumble dry

Ironing:

• If needed, iron your denim garment inside out using a medium heat setting
• Avoid ironing over creases or folds, as it may create permanent marks

Stain Removal:

• Attend to stains promptly. Blot, don't rub, the stain with a clean cloth to remove excess residue
• For oily stains, sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch on the stain, let it sit for a few hours, and then gently brush it off
• Use a stain remover or a mixture of mild detergent and water for tougher stains, following the product's instructions
• Always test the stain remover on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't affect the colour

General Tips:

• Avoid frequent washing to prolong the life of your denim garment. Instead, spot clean or air them out when possible
• Store your denim garment in a cool, dry place to prevent mould and mildew growth
• To reduce odour, consider freezing your denim garment overnight in a plastic bag, which can kill odour-causing bacteria
