Frequently asked questions
How do I keep my child's garments looking new?
Paying some extra attention to how you wash your clothes will not only prolong their life, but also help minimize the environmental impact and save our natural resources. The washing instructions on the label will give you advise on how to best care for your garment. Here is some further advice:
Chunky-knits
Chunky-knits should be reshaped and dried flat to maintain the original shape.
Linen
Linen is a natural material and can easily get mis-shapen when wet. To restore the garment to its original shape, iron it with a hot steam iron. To keep its sheen, iron the garment on the reverse side.
Wool
Often, airing woollen garments is enough. Use a detergent for delicates when you do wash them. Use the wool or hand wash cycle on your washing machine or wash by hand. Iron after washing to restore the natural sheen.
Denim
Wash jeans inside out to reduce fade. Remove them from the washing machine as soon as possible after the cycle has ended to avoid creasing. Always wash with like colours.
Leather and suede
Leather and suede garments should be taken to a leather specialist for cleaning.
Down jackets
Place tennis balls in the tumble dryer when drying down garments to distribute the down evenly. The down must be dried completely.
Rainwear
Rainwear should drip-dry. If you dry them in a drying cabinet, do so at a low temperature. Follow the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softener in wash, as it can impair the waterproof capabiliy.
Details
Take off removable details and do up Velcro and zip fastenings before washing.
