We believe that proper care ensures the longevity and maintains the aesthetic appeal of your cherished garments and accessories. To help you preserve the quality of your Lwnix purchases, we've compiled these care and instruction guidelines. Please refer to the specific care label attached to each item for the most accurate and detailed instructions.
General Care Guidelines for Apparel:
-
Read the Label: Always prioritize the care label sewn into the garment. It provides specific instructions tailored to the fabric composition and construction.
-
Gentle Washing: When machine washing, opt for a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage and color fading.
-
Mild Detergents: Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Harsh chemicals and bleach can damage fibers and alter colors.
-
Separate Colors: Wash dark and light colors separately to avoid color transfer.
-
Avoid Overloading: Do not overload your washing machine, as this can prevent proper cleaning and cause unnecessary wear and tear.
Drying with Care:
-
Air Drying: Whenever possible, air dry your garments by laying them flat on a clean surface or hanging them on a non-rusting hanger away from direct sunlight. This is the gentlest method and helps maintain the fabric's integrity.
-
Machine Drying: If machine drying is necessary (refer to the care label), use a low heat setting. High heat can cause shrinkage, damage fibers, and fade colors. Remove garments promptly once dry to prevent wrinkles.
Ironing with Precision:
-
Check the Label: Always refer to the care label for the recommended ironing temperature.
-
Use a Clean Iron: Ensure your iron plate is clean to avoid transferring any residue onto your garments.
-
Iron Inside Out: For delicate fabrics or items with embellishments, iron them inside out to protect the surface.
-
Use a Press Cloth: For sensitive materials like silk or wool, use a press cloth (a thin cotton fabric) between the iron and the garment to prevent scorching or shine.
Storage Matters:
-
Clean Before Storing: Ensure garments are clean and completely dry before storing them to prevent mildew and insect damage.
-
Proper Hanging: Use appropriate hangers for different types of clothing (e.g., padded hangers for delicate items, sturdy hangers for heavier garments). Avoid wire hangers, as they can distort the shape of your clothes.
-
Folding Knitwear: Fold knitwear instead of hanging it to prevent stretching.
-
Protect from Light and Dust: Store clothes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Consider using garment bags for special occasion wear or items you don't wear frequently.

Scarves & Shawls:
