Do I have to follow the care and laundry instructions exactly? Sydney T. Tumbling Dry in Mesa Arizona.
Yes! Your investment into a garment doesn't stop at the cash register, adhering to the proper care and washing instructions are vital to the appearance, life, and functionality of the garment. Washing incorrectly and drying too long with extreme heat can cause irreversible affects. You can cut the amount of time you wash by giving your lightly worn clothing a once-over with a steam cleaner. Add a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar to the steamers water supply beforehand, with this method you will not only get wrinkles out, you'll also deodorize your clothes. In between washes you can also give your clothes a quick mist, steam, or rinse in the sink then, hanging your clothes out to dry out the window or spread them out in front of a window. Turn your clothes inside out before airdrying. Once completely dry they are ready to wear again.
