10 tips to keep your clothes impeccable

1. Wash white and light-colored items separately from colored and dark items.
2. Natural fabrics such as wool, linen, and silk shrink when washed at excessive temperatures and become misshapen when spun or hung vertically. It is recommended to wash artificial and synthetic fabrics in warm water and iron them at a low temperature inside out. Jeans should always be washed inside out and should not exceed 40°C.
3. Don't overfill the washing machine. An overfill may result in clothes that aren't clean enough.
4. We recommend washing with neutral detergents because they contain fewer bleaching agents.
5. Wash your clothes inside out, preferably with liquid detergent rather than powder or solid detergent.
6. Use detergent and fabric softener sparingly. If you use too much, stains may appear on your clothes.
7. Avoid using dryers. Fabrics become dull and garments wear out.
8. High temperatures are harmful to tissues.
9. When drying your clothes outside, avoid direct sunlight.
10. As for ironing, start with the lowest temperature. For dark colors, iron clothes inside out or when slightly damp.

Natural fibers

Natural fibers originate in nature. They are classified into two groups, depending on whether they are of plant or animal origin.

• Linen

A plant-based fiber obtained from the flax plant. It is characterized by being a strong, flexible, very durable, and shiny fiber that absorbs moisture and perspiration. It tends to wrinkle easily.

• Ramie

A white plant-based fiber with a silky sheen. It's characterized as one of the strongest and toughest natural fibers, but has low elasticity. It holds dyes well and is durable and soft.

• Cotton

A soft, elastic, and durable plant-based fiber with a high moisture-wicking capacity. It is the most commonly used fiber and is characterized by its ability to wrinkle easily.

• Wool

A soft and elastic natural fiber of animal origin. It is characterized by its thermal capacity to absorb or evaporate water, depending on the outside temperature, adapting to changes in body temperature.

• Silk

A soft, lustrous fiber originating from the silkworm. It offers the highest quality and appearance, characterized by its silky softness and a distinctive sheen.

• Chemical fibers

Chemical fibers are manufactured in chemical plants. If they use raw materials from nature, they are called man-made fibers. If they are made from petroleum compounds, they are called synthetic fibers.

• Viscose

Viscose or rayon is a soft-touch fiber with cotton-like characteristics and an appearance similar to wool or silk. It is characterized by its ability to wrinkle easily and is highly absorbent. It tends to shrink due to its low strength.

• Acetate

A soft, lightweight artificial fiber with a silk-like appearance. Its characteristics include shrink-free, colorfast, and wrinkle-resistant properties. It is often used in lingerie, blouses, dresses, and other accessories.

• Modal

A soft, comfortable, synthetic fiber with properties similar to cotton and elastane. It's characterized by its durability and wrinkle resistance.

• Polyester

Highly resistant synthetic fiber that doesn't wrinkle or shrink. It has multiple applications, either alone or blended with natural and chemical fibers. It's economical and dries quickly.

• Acrylic

A warm, soft, and comfortable synthetic fiber. It is characterized by its high resistance to both mild and harsh weather conditions. It is often blended with wool for greater durability.

• Polyamide

A highly resistant and elastic synthetic fiber commonly known as nylon. It deforms at high temperatures and does not absorb perspiration.

• Spandex

Fiber used to give elasticity to garments. It is commonly known as Lycra and is often blended with other fibers.
