Washing & Care Guide

To get the most from your garments always remember to follow these simple rules-

DO

  • Always read the care label and washing instructions before washing your clothes.
  • Always arrange your laundry into groups with similar wash care instructions and organise into whites, darks and colours.
  • Always turn your garments inside out before washing, this will preserve the colour of your garment longer.

  • Avoid using too much detergent.
  • Do not use fabric detergents which contain bleach.
  • Do not tumble dry garment unless indicated on the care label.
  • Do not leave garments with white and contrast coloured panels soaking for prolonged periods as colours may run.
  • Garments with metal trims should not be left to soak.
