Have you been paying attention to the care symbols in your garments?

Care Label Symbols are required by law for your information to help you make informed garment purchase decisions. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires manufacturers to attach a permanent label to textile garments that provides directions for their care. According to law, manufacturers and importers must list at least one method of safe care for a garment. It also requires that the label must be easily found and that it will remain legible during the garment's useful life. The label must warn about any part of the recommended care method that would harm the garment or other garments being laundered or dry cleaned with it. It must also warn when there is no method for cleaning a gaarment without damaging it.

Especially for dryclean symbols, you would need to pay special attention to send your garments for dry clean to avoid damages done to it. From our experience, if you try to hand wash gently at home these type of garments, the color may run and the shape may change.

For Wet Cleaning, before a garment undergone machine wash, it will first be inspected to remove stains. This process is called "spotting". A garment is chemically cleaned only in the areas where spots are noticeable. Spot cleaning is performed if a small area has a stain which can range from food stains, oil, ink to name a few.Spot cleaning is accomplished on a stain removal board with special brush and appropriate stain removal agents as necessary.
