Maintenance of Winter Wear

Taking Care of your Winter Wear

Fiber Clothing
To avoid fluff, do not over brush or rub your clothing. Do not use hot water to wash; as fiber is susceptible to heat, hot water can lead to contraction and deformation of your clothing. Wash gently and rinse thoroughly to avoid soap residue. Dry it in a ventilated area but not under excessive sunlight as UV rays may damage the fibers.

Eiderdown Clothing
Method 1: Hand wash. Soak the clothes in detergent-added water; brush inside out gently with a soft brush or cotton cloth. Then rinse several times to thoroughly remove detergent in clean water. Use dry towel to absorb the water, and dry in ventilated area.
Method 2: Dry-cleaning (professional laundry only).

Cotton Clothes
Wash before storage, or mold can be formed easily from odor and grease. Cotton is moisture absorbable so it’s great to expose it to the sun whenever possible during the rainy season.

Wool Clothing
Hand wash only; do not use washing machines. Wash it immediately, and be aware that water temperature should not be higher than 30°C; else the clothing may become out of shape. Do not use a washboard while washing or it may shrink. Keep it away from excessive sunlight to prevent the loss of shine and elasticity.

Leather Clothing
Do not wash leather clothes, use only clean cotton cloth or cotton ball dipped with cleaning lotion for leather and rub gently the dirt directly from leather. Dry under the sun before packing. It is best to put a piece of white cloth over your leather clothes. Avoiding direct sunlight as this can lead to lose of shine, damage of skin-fiber and cracks on leather clothing.
