CARE: Printed Cotton Corduroy
Care instructions for your printed cotton corduroy garment:
Washing:
Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or delicate cycle on your washing machine to minimise wear and tear on the fabric.
Machine Washing:
- Cold Water: Always use cold water to prevent any colour fading and to maintain the delicate texture.
- Mild Detergent: Use a mild, colour-safe detergent to protect the fabric and maintain its colour.
- Turn Inside Out: To safeguard the delicate corduroy and reduce friction, turn the garment inside out before washing.
- Fasten Zippers and Buttons: Make sure all zippers and buttons are fastened to prevent snagging during the wash.
- Use a Laundry Bag: Placing the garment in a mesh laundry bag will further protect it from rubbing against other items.
Hand Washing:
- Fill a Basin: If you prefer hand washing, fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent.
- Gentle Agitation: Gently agitate the water with your hands to clean the garment without excessive scrubbing.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the garment with cold water until all detergent is removed.
Drying:
- Do Not Wring: Avoid wringing out the garment, as it can damage the delicate fabric. Instead, gently press out excess water by placing it between clean, dry towels.
- Lay Flat: Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Ensure it is in its natural shape to preserve the subtle ribbed texture.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Don't expose the garment to direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can cause fading.
Ironing:
- Low Heat: If necessary, use a low heat setting on your iron to gently press the garment turning it inside out first. Ensure they are dry before ironing.
- Use a Cloth: Place a clean cloth or pressing cloth over the fabric when ironing to protect the delicate corduroy and subtle ribbed texture.
Storage:
- Hang or Fold Carefully: When storing your cord garment, either hang them by the waistband or fold them carefully to maintain their shape.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Prevent overcrowding in your closet to avoid wrinkling and damage to the fabric.
These care instructions will help you preserve the unique qualities of your soft lightweight printed corduroy garment, ensuring it maintains its delicate touch and airy feel while also extending its longevity. Always remember to check the care label for specific guidance.
