Adopting the right habits

Taking care of the pieces you choose to invest in is the best way to build a high-quality, long-lasting wardrobe, making it easy to establish your style.

- Follow Care Instructions: The care symbols indicate the maximum treatment allowed to maintain the quality of your garment. However, you can always wash at lower temperatures than those indicated on the label, depending on the condition of the clothing.

- Air Dry When Possible: Avoid the tumble dryer whenever you can. Air drying is better for both your clothes and the environment!

- If Using a Tumble Dryer: Always check the care instructions first. Be careful not to overload the dryer to ensure even drying and fewer wrinkles. Sort your laundry according to drying times, and remove items as soon as possible to hang or fold them.

- Sort Your Laundr: Separate clothes by color, level of dirt, and washing temperature.

- Prepare Clothes for Washing: Empty pockets, close buttons and zippers, and turn garments inside out.

- Don’t Overload the Machine: Ensure there's a hand-width gap between the laundry and the top of the drum.

- Wash Only When Necessary: Instead of washing an entire garment for a small stain, spot-clean by hand whenever possible.

- Avoid Leaving Wet Laundry Sitting: Don’t leave laundry, especially if wet, lying around in a humid environment.

- Use the Right Amount of Detergent: Adjust the detergent amount according to the water hardness and the degree of soiling—use just enough to clean your clothes without leaving residue or contributing to environmental pollution.

- Accidentally Washed a Tissue? Don't worry—simply rub the affected clothing with a pair of nylon tights to remove the bits.

- Monthly Maintenance Cycle: Run a maintenance cycle on your washing machine once a month without laundry, and keep the door open between washes to prevent mold and odors.

- Reviving Whites: In addition to washing them separately from colored items, use a specialized detergent or add a tablespoon of sodium percarbonate to your wash.

Don't cut off the care labels from your clothes—they contain valuable information that will help you (or your professional cleaner) select the right cleaning process!
