Helpful Hints to keep your school uniforms looking great even longer:

• Follow the care instructions inside each garment.
• Wash in small loads to prevent overloading.
• Wash garments made of the same fabrics and colors together to avoid color bleeding and damage.
• Pre-treat any stains before washing to prevent them from setting in. Vanish® is recommended for this purpose.
• Do not apply undiluted washing powder directly onto garments to avoid spot bleaching. Dissolve the powder in water before adding it to the laundry.
• Avoid using chlorine bleach and pre-soaks. Use Vanish® to remove stains, fix color runs, and brighten whites instead.
• Do not hang garments out in direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Avoid using brushes or scrubbers, as they can damage the fabric and reduce the lifespan of the garment.
• Always fasten all zips, buttons, and studs before washing to prevent damage and entanglement during the wash cycle.
• Use cold water for washing to protect the fabric and colors.
• Wash garments inside out to preserve the color and prevent wear on the outer surface.
• Use a quality detergent to avoid pilling and fading; low-cost additives may cause these issues.
• Iron on a low temperature or synthetic setting only to avoid damaging the fabric.

Special Instructions for Knits like T-shirts, Socks and Sweatshirts:

• Do not machine wash knits like T-shirts, socks, and sweatshirts. Hand wash them separately in cold water only; never use hot water.

• Do not use a hot iron on knits. Set your iron to low or synthetic settings.

• Avoid drying knits in direct sunlight, as this can cause them to lose elasticity and shape.

• Do not wring or twist knits, as this can damage their structure.

• Do not use a dryer for knits. Instead, lay them flat to dry naturally.

• Dry knits promptly after washing to prevent damp-related issues.

• Use only mild detergent, such as detergent soap bars, for washing knits.

• For sweatshirts, hand wash them separately before the first use to prevent excess fibers from sticking to other garments.

• After washing, reverse the sweatshirt and dry it in the shade to enhance its durability.
