Fabric Care                                                    Stain Removal

Fabric Care
These fabric care suggestions are provided as a general guide for the convenience of our customers and visitors. Because materials and dyes vary between manufacturers and products, for best results we recommend that you test a sample of the fabric before washing or dry cleaning the entire garment.

Cotton: Machine washes in cold or warm water. Tumble dry at low or medium heat and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles. Expect shrinkage of 4%-6%.

Poly/Cotton: Machine washes in cold or warm water. Tumble dry at low or medium heat and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles.

Polyester: Machine washes warm; use fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Tumble dry. Use low to moderate setting for touch up Ironing if needed.

Rayon and Rayon Blends: Machine wash cold water (gentle cycle), hand wash, or dry clean. If machine or hand washed, line dry or tumble dry cool very briefly. (Heat will cause rayon to shrink).

Wool: Dry Clean Recommended.

Linen Dry Clean Recommended. Can be hand washed and line dryed, but some shrinkage can be expected.

Silk: Dry Clean Recommended. Can be gently hand washed. Allow to dry on white towel.

Acetate: Dry Clean Recommended
