To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Amonite dresses, proper care is essential. Follow these guidelines to keep your garments looking their best for years to come.
General Care Tips
-
Read the Label: Always check the care label inside your dress for specific washing, drying, and ironing instructions.
-
Handle with Care: Avoid excessive pulling or stretching to maintain the fabric’s integrity and fit.
-
Separate Colors: Wash similar colors together to prevent color bleeding or fading.
Washing Instructions
Machine Washable Fabrics:
- Use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent shrinkage or damage.
- Avoid harsh detergents; opt for mild, color-safe detergents instead.
Hand Wash Fabrics:
- Use lukewarm water and a gentle detergent.
- Soak for 5–10 minutes and gently agitate. Rinse thoroughly and avoid wringing the fabric.
Dry Clean Only:
- For delicate fabrics or intricate designs, take your dress to a professional dry cleaner.
Drying Instructions
Air Drying:
- Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
Machine Drying:
- Only tumble dry if the care label permits, and always use a low-heat setting.
Ironing & Steaming
Ironing:
- Use a low-heat setting for delicate fabrics. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid damage.
Steaming:
- A handheld steamer is ideal for removing wrinkles from delicate fabrics without direct contact.
Storage Tips
-
Hanging: Use padded or wide hangers to prevent stretching or misshaping.
-
Folding: For heavy or embellished dresses, fold carefully to avoid stress on seams and store in a breathable garment bag.
-
Avoid Moisture: Store your dresses in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew.
Special Care for Embellished Dresses
- Handle sequins, beads, and embroidery with extra care to avoid snagging.
- Store embellished dresses in a separate garment bag to prevent damage from friction.
Stain Removal Tips
-
Oil-Based Stains: Use a small amount of dish soap and cold water. Dab gently—do not rub.
-
Wine or Juice Stains: Apply a mixture of baking soda and water to the affected area and rinse with cold water.
-
Professional Help: For stubborn stains, seek assistance from a professional cleaner.
