READ FOUR SAMPLE TIPS
Clothing Care Basics (Part 1)
Clothing care starts the moment you begin to shop. It ends when you retire or donate the garment. We will follow the life of a garment, from the time of purchase to staining, cleaning and, finally, storing for the season — with everything in between.
Start caring:
- By choosing the right fabric and fit for your lifestyle
- By reading the care label on each garment, before you buy
- By recognizing stains – and their origins – and knowing if they require pre-treatment, and then dry cleaning or wet cleaning (in water)
Recognizing water-based stains
Water-based stains from soda, coffee, and wine
usually have a ring around the outside.
Recognizing Oil-based stains
Oil-based stains from food oils, French fry grease,
and mayonnaise are absorbed into the fabric and do not
have a ring. These stains can be set by soap and water
and usually require dry cleaning.
What to do with stains
If you identify these stains, take them to the cleaner within 48 hours or so, and then point them out to your drycleaner, most of your spots will come out!

Care Tip
New fashions mean new fabric combinations. Remember to read the care labels and always follow the designer’s request for professional cleaning. DIY cleaning mishaps are the number one reason those favorite designs don’t hold up – trust our professional textile experts to take special care of your delicate fabrics like lace, suede, leather, fur, plastic and even metal.
Fashion Forward
Organic clothing has been taken to a new level. Check out the newest breakthrough in eco-friendly clothing made from milk – you read that right – milk! It has been woven into a silky fiber as an alternative to cotton, free from pesticides and other contaminants. The process saves resources and is dubbed a “green fashion with a difference.” Watch the video and see if milk fiber is your next big fashion must have!
