At FRANSJOY, we firmly believe in purchasing fewer, high-quality items and taking proper care of them. To extend the life cycle of your garment, it is important to take good care of them. Below is our care guide to lead you through a gentler and sustainable garment care routine. By following these tips, you can help to preserve the quality and longevity of your clothes, ensuring that they look and feel great for years to come.

1. Follow care instructions: Always read and follow the care instructions on the garment's care label. This will ensure that you are using the correct washing, drying, and ironing methods for that specific fabric.

2. Wash less frequently: Quality clothes typically do not need to be washed after every wear. Consider airing out your garments or spot cleaning them instead of washing them frequently, as washing can cause wear and tear.

3. Use gentle detergents: Choose a gentle detergent that is specifically formulated for delicate fabrics. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach that can damage the fibers of your clothes.

4. Wash in cold water: Cold water is gentler on fabrics and helps to preserve the color and shape of your clothes. It also helps to prevent shrinkage and fading.

5. Turn clothes inside out: To protect the outer surface of your clothes, turn them inside out before washing. This will help to prevent fading and pilling.

6. Line dry or use a low heat setting: To avoid shrinking or damaging delicate fabrics, air dry your clothes on a drying rack or use a low heat setting in the dryer. Avoid over-drying your clothes to prevent wrinkles and shrinkage.

7. Store properly: Store your quality clothes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use padded hangers for delicate fabrics such as silk, cotton and linen. Fold knits and T-shirt to avoid stretching. Blazers, jackets, dresses, and pants should be hung on a hanger to avoid necessary sagging or stretching out of the width.

8. Avoid over-wearing: Rotate your clothes regularly to prevent excessive wear and tear on specific items. This will help to extend the life of your wardrobe.

By following these tips, you can help to preserve the quality and longevity of your clothes, ensuring that they look and feel great for years to come.
