Garment Care Instructions
Last updated September 26, 2024
Proper care ensures your Hanni garments maintain their quality, color, and shape, extending their lifespan. Always refer to the care label sewn into your garment for specific instructions, as these may vary based on the fabric and construction. This guide provides general guidelines, but the care label always takes precedence.
General Care Guidelines
- Check the Care Label: Before attempting to clean your garment, always check the care label attached to the inside of the garment. The label contains specific washing, drying, and ironing instructions.
- Washing:
- Hand-washing: For delicate items or those requiring special care, hand-washing is often recommended. Use a mild detergent and cool water. Gently squeeze excess water; do not wring.
- Machine-washing: If machine washing is allowed, use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Turn garments inside out to protect the surface.
- Water Temperature: Always follow the water temperature instructions on the label. Using water that is too hot can cause shrinkage or damage.
- Drying:
- Air-drying: Air drying is generally the gentlest method and ideal for most delicate fabrics. Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it on a padded hanger. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
- Machine-drying: Refer to the care label for machine drying instructions. If allowed, use a low heat setting and remove the garment promptly to avoid wrinkles.
- Ironing:
- Ironing Instructions: Always follow the ironing instructions on the care label. Use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. Ironing on a high setting can scorch or damage delicate materials.
- Dry Cleaning: If the care label recommends dry cleaning, use a reputable dry cleaner who specializes in handling delicate fabrics.
Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Care
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, treat them immediately with a gentle detergent and cool water.
- Storage: Store your garments properly to maintain their shape and prevent wrinkles. Fold or hang them carefully based on the fabric type and garment style.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh detergents, bleaches, or fabric softeners.
Remember that following the care instructions on your garment's label is crucial for preserving its quality and appearance.
