Care & Instruction

Proper care and maintenance of apparel are essential for ensuring longevity and preserving the quality of the garments. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to care for your clothing items, particularly those made from high-quality materials such as those offered by Weston Milan.

Washing Instructions:

  • Always check the care label on each garment before washing. The label provides specific instructions tailored to the fabric type.
  • For most items, it is recommended to wash in cold water to prevent shrinkage and fading. Cold water washing can reduce energy consumption by approximately 90% compared to hot water washing.
  • Use a mild detergent that is free from harsh chemicals to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
  • Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and preserve color.
  • Avoid overloading the washing machine, as this can lead to inadequate cleaning and increased wear on the fabric.

Drying Instructions:

  • It is advisable to air dry garments whenever possible. This method is gentler on fabrics and can extend the life of the clothing.
  • If using a dryer, select a low heat setting to minimize the risk of shrinkage and damage. High heat can cause fabrics to lose their shape and elasticity.
  • Remove items from the dryer while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles and facilitate easier ironing.

Ironing Instructions:

  • Always refer to the care label for the appropriate ironing temperature. Different fabrics require different heat settings.
  • For delicate fabrics, consider using a pressing cloth to protect the garment from direct heat.
  • Iron garments while they are slightly damp for the best results, as this can help remove wrinkles more effectively.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store garments in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and mildew.
  • Use padded hangers for delicate items to maintain their shape and prevent stretching.
  • For items that are not frequently worn, consider using breathable garment bags to protect against dust and pests.
  • Ensure that garments are clean before storing them to avoid stains setting in over time.

By following these care and instruction guidelines, you can ensure that your clothing remains stylish and comfortable for years to come. Proper maintenance not only enhances the appearance of your garments but also contributes to sustainable fashion practices by reducing the need for frequent replacements.
