FABRIC & GARMENT CARE

Fabric & Garment Care.

Read the care label, then read the guide. Each fabric — wool, silk, denim, technical activewear — has a temperature, cycle, and drying method that keeps it looking new instead of shrinking, fading, or pilling.

Most “ruined in the wash” disasters come from treating every garment the same. Wool felts in heat and agitation; silk is a protein fiber that hates alkaline detergent; denim fades when it’s washed hot and right-side-out; technical activewear traps odor when fabric softener coats its fibers. The guides here go item by item — the water temperature, the cycle, whether to air-dry or tumble, and how to undo the damage when something has already shrunk or stiffened. For anything you’d rather not risk, our wash & fold service sorts by fabric and temperature so delicates never meet a hot dryer.
