Care for your clothing

Know what is to be done to ensure assured quality, health influences and lifetime for your clothes or accessories, when faced with scenarios like

1. Smelly, Dirty or Unclean appearance needing careful washing or laundering and appropriate use of fabric friendly fragrances

2. Seeming wrinkled, turning less crisp, needing wrinkle releasing steam pressing, or starching or even avoiding the use of the dryer settings

3. Early signs of fading needing turning inside out washing, drying on a protected rack rather than plain clothes line known to be exposed to sunlight or dust

4. Early signs of a damaged look or wear & tear, needing remedial sari work or sari kucha work or darning

5. Needing right storage where product does not come in contact with other clothes with metal parts like buttons or zippers, using of moth balls or organic insect repellents

6. Following dress after policies to avoid makeup marks or other staining


Know what is to be done in laundering or washing

1. Fixing of schedule for washing with questions as to why the product needs washing and how often must this be done. This is important for all of us today.

2. Selection of machine versus hand wash or even dry cleaning, temperature & mechanism dependent upon gentleness needed and as to whether the product is color safe
