The arrival of autumn is the time to put away the summer clothes and break out the wrap sweaters. Here are our tips for caring for your baby girl’s dresses and keeping them beautiful for a long time.
Pictograms on clothing labels
When you buy a garment, the first thing to do is to read the label carefully to know the composition of the garment. This information will help you know if machine washing is prescribed or if dry washing at the cleaners is necessary. Do not cut the labels, they will be very practical at the cleaners.
Then check the shrinkage percentage. If you must make alterations to the garment, it is recommended to wash it before taking the measurements.
Natural fiber clothing
Many of the clothes in your closet are probably made of natural fibers. These fabrics are very easy to maintain since they are almost all machine washable.
Machine wash cotton garments in hot or lukewarm water. Even if cotton supports heat well, it is advisable not to wash printed cotton at more than 60°. Linen clothes can also be machine washed, but at a lower temperature (maximum 40°), with little or no spin. We avoid the dryer! The same goes for hemp clothes that are slightly drained and ironed wet. As for bamboo clothes, you will notice that they become softer and more absorbent with every wash.
Simply machine washes them in cold water on a gentle cycle and hangs them to dry. For a wool coat, it is often recommended to opt for dry cleaning at the cleaners. That said, for some sweaters and other woolen garments, you can use the washer on the wool cycle (with a laundry net to protect it) if the pictogram on the label allows it. Wool is a natural material that must be treated meticulously, away from hot water and the dryer (because heat shrinks and permanently damages wool).
Then, let it dry on a hanger or in the dryer at low temperature if the label on the garment allows it. Remember that it is very important to know the composition of a garment to maintain it well over time. A garment-washed with care will retain its shine and always make you look good!
Use cold water with only a few drops of detergent designed for wool. Rub the garment gently during the wash, then rinse well. Wrap the garment in a towel to wring it out (avoid twisting it) and lay flat to dry on a dry towel (not in the dryer).
Synthetic clothing
Many of the clothes we wear are made from viscose, a textile fiber made from the cellulose of wood. Light, soft, and fluid, viscose is comparable to artificial silk.
If you have a viscose scarf, sweater, or tunic, care should be taken to ensure that the garment retains its shape and finish perfectly. Wash the viscose inside out in cold water, preferably by hand, separating the colors.
Then let air dry on a hanger with wide shoulders – most importantly, no dryer! To restore all its suppleness to the viscose garment, iron it at low temperature with an iron (“silk” program) with a damp cloth, also called an “ironing net” (a damp cloth used in ironing).
pumpkin pajamas,
Polyester is also widely used in the manufacture of dresses, shirts, pumpkin pajamas, and jackets. Often, the washing symbol on the label recommends the dry cleaning of the garment at the cleaners.Then, let it dry on a hanger or in the dryer at low temperature if the label on the garment allows it. Remember that it is very important to know the composition of a garment to maintain it well over time. A garment-washed with care will retain its shine and always make you look good!. For acrylic, you can use the washing machine in cold water or lukewarm water.
Conclusion
Then, let it dry on a hanger or in the dryer at low temperature if the label on the garment allows it. Remember that it is very important to know the composition of a garment to maintain it well over time. A garment-washed with care will retain its shine and always make you look good!
