Clothing Care Basics worth a refresher
We have sent out our newsletter to our customers about “Clothing Care Basics.” This is good information for anyone:
Clothing care starts the moment you begin to shop. It ends when you retire or donate the garment. We follow the life of a garment, from the time of purchase to spotting, cleaning and, finally, storing for the season – with everything in between.
Start caring:
• By choosing the right fabric and fit for your lifestyle
• By reading the care label on each garment, before you buy
• By recognizing spots – and their origins – and knowing if they require pre-treatment, and then dry cleaning or wet cleaning
Recognizing water-based spots
Water-based spots from soda, coffee, and wine usually have a ring around the outside.
Recognizing Oil-based spots
Oil-based spots from food oils, french fry grease, and mayonnaise are absorbed into the fabric and do not have a ring. These spots can be set by soap & water and usually require dry cleaning.
What to do with spots
If you identify these spots, take them to the cleaner within 48 hours or so, and point them out to the customer service representative. Most spots will come out!
