CLOTHING CARE

Taking good care of your clothes ensures they stay looking fresh, soft, and vibrant for longer. Please follow the guidelines below to help maintain the quality of your Croomly pieces.

General Care Instructions

  • Wash with similar colors: To prevent color bleeding or fading, we recommend washing your clothes with similar colors.

  • Turn garments inside out: This helps protect the fabric and preserves the print or design.

  • Use a gentle detergent: Choose a mild detergent to protect the fabric’s fibers and avoid harsh chemicals.

  • Avoid fabric softeners: Fabric softeners can weaken the fabric over time, so it's best to skip them.

Washing Temperature

  • Cold wash (30°C/86°F): Always wash your clothes in cold water unless the label states otherwise. Cold water is gentler on fabrics and helps prevent shrinking, fading, and stretching.

  • Warm wash (40°C/104°F): For clothes that are a bit dirtier or require a deeper clean, you can use warm water. However, avoid hot water as it can damage delicate fibers and cause shrinkage.

Drying

  • Air dry whenever possible: Air drying is the best way to preserve the quality of your garments. Hang your clothes to dry on a clothesline or lay them flat to dry.

  • Avoid tumble drying: Excessive heat from a dryer can shrink or distort the fabric, especially for delicate materials. If you must tumble dry, use the low heat setting and remove items promptly once dry.

  • Dry clean only: Some garments, such as delicate fabrics or special occasion wear, may require dry cleaning. Always check the care label for this information.

Ironing

  • Low heat ironing (110°C/230°F): If you need to iron your garments, use a low heat setting. Iron garments inside out to avoid damaging the fabric’s surface or print.

  • Steam instead of ironing: For delicate or wrinkle-prone fabrics, using steam is a gentler way to smooth out wrinkles without direct heat.

Storing Your Clothes

  • Store in a cool, dry place: Keep your clothes away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. This helps preserve color and fabric integrity.

  • Use padded hangers for delicate items: For garments that need to be hung, such as coats or dresses, use padded hangers to maintain their shape.

  • Fold knitwear and sweaters: Avoid hanging sweaters, as it can stretch them out of shape. Instead, fold them neatly and store them in a drawer.

Additional Tips

  • Always read the care instructions on the garment’s label before washing, as some fabrics may have specific care needs.

  • For one-size items, be mindful of washing temperatures to avoid shrinking or stretching.

By following these care instructions, you’ll be able to enjoy your Croomly clothes for years to come, keeping them looking as good as new!
