HOME I FABRIC CARE
Care for my Creations
Taking care of my purchase?
Washing
I recommend that all fabrics, that can be washed, are separated into light or dark colours and washed at 30 degrees. For best results, select a non-biological detergent containing no optical whiteners, bleaching agents or enzymes that can cause colours to fade or become patchy and can also damage fabrics. When hand washing, do not place the detergent directly onto the laundry, but ensure liquids are dispersed and powders completely dissolved before immersing the items to be washed.
N.B. Some of my products cannot be washed. For these I suggest, spot cleaning, or recommend dry cleaning to avoid any shrinkage. This is because all fabrics will be subject to some degree of shrinkage and this can vary dependent on the type of fabric and the conditions it is used in.
Drying
Washing line drying is ideal for leaving your laundry outdoor-fresh and almost crease-free. But, using a tumble dryer at the correct setting also gives good results. When using a tumble dryer, do not over dry laundry and remove it promptly to reduce creasing. Smooth out and reshape everything, paying particular attention to borders and hems, then fold carefully.
Ironing
Washing and drying fabrics correctly will help eliminate creasing and make ironing easier. Natural fibres crease more when new, but with time the fabric softens and this will reduce. For best results, iron whilst still slightly damp, using a steam iron. In the event that fabrics have become completely dry, I advise re-damping with a water spray before.
Fading
Over time, some degree of fading of colour will occur naturally.
Print Pattern Alignment
I make by hand so as part of the production process, there may be some mis-alignment.
Fabric Care Labels
You will not find a care label on any of my products. Whilst some may consider useful, they are made of man made material that does not return to nature when disposed of. I rely on the good sense of my customers to read this guide on my website.
Shrinkage
All natural fibres will shrink. However, washing or drying fabrics at excessively hot temperatures will cause more shrinkage than usual.
Just as important is ensuring that my customers get the best from their purchases with a little help from me.
