Always put emphasis on the quality of things, if you plan to wear it long and often. Prefer trusted manufacturers and natural fabrics.

Natural materials are well evaporate the moisture and allow the skin to breathe. Synthetic fibers are nylon (nylon), polyester (Polyester) and spandex (spandex) is much cheaper and easier to produce, so they are often used for making clothes. Do not be afraid, if you liked the blouse is spandex or polyester. As these materials improve impurity knitted qualities make it more durable, and beautiful.

The main thing is that the clothes which is in contact with the body, is not composed of a synthetic.

We protect your favorite things

Follow the washing instructions and ironing. Better wash at a slightly lower temperature than that indicated on the label, then the item is not shed and not stretched.

If the label on the recommended dry cleaning, then such clothes categorically can not be washed.

For example, coats and costumes made of natural wool or eo impurities in the wash will inevitably lose their shape. Wool absorbs a lot of moisture and dries clothes can distort to some side. Part of the situation can be corrected with the help of iron, but even its use does not guarantee that the item will take the same form as before washing.

In an attempt to save a lot of machine washable cushions. Whether you wash it with a special ball or without, with a special shampoo for outerwear or without it, the result is the same: after washing fluff matted in clumps and you get blown jacket. It is better to take your favorite jacket or coat to the dry cleaners.

Clothes in any case can not be dried in direct sunlight or on the battery.

Ultraviolet light - the main enemy is not only color, but also white clothing.

Synthetic materials can not withstand high temperatures, the product is strongly stretched and lose their original appearance.
