Step by step to wash garments & <<products>> :
Sorting
Sort clothes colour-wise. Wash only similar coloured garments together.
Soaking
Put a small quantity of mild detergent in a half-filled bucket of cold water. Soak the garment in the soapy solution for five minutes. Do not soak for a longer duration. Pre-soaked garments must be washed immediately.
Rinsing
The soiled areas can be rubbed gently by hand. Do not use a solid bar of soap or a brush. Rinse the garment a few times in cold water to remove the detergent completely.
Starching
A final dip in a diluted solution of liquid starch will render a crisp finish to the garment. Do not wring too much.
Drying
Drying your clothes under the sun causes colour-fading. Therefore, hang them out to dry in the evenings or in shade. Garments should be hung straight to dry on rust- proof hangers (either plastic or wooden).
Ironing
Do not iron directly on block-prints, embroidery, etc. Such clothes should be turned inside out and ironed lightly.
Storage
Store garments in a cool, dry, place protected from sunlight. Keep whites and light coloured garments away from the darker coloured ones. Use aromatic sachets to dispel cupboard odours.
Silk And Silk Blends
Silk and silk blend fabrics must be dry cleaned only. Store carefully in cloth covers with a few scented sachets.
