UNKNWN MELBOURNE want the Track-pants T-shirt Hoodies to last for a long time. To hear your product  is fading or peeling or shrinking after a wash is sad for us. and honestly it ruins the whole experience.

Absolutely, taking proper care of your favourite UNKNWN clothing items can help extend their lifespan and keep them looking fresh.

Here are some general tips for maintaining your hoodies, tees, Track-pants.

  • Read Care Labels:

Always check the care labels on your clothing for specific instructions. Different fabrics require different care, and following these guidelines will help prevent damage.

  • Separate Colors:

Wash dark and light-colored items separately to avoid color bleeding. Reds and blues are notorious for bleeding onto lighter fabrics, so be cautious.

  • Turn Inside Out:

Turn your clothing inside out before washing to minimize friction and protect the outer surface, especially for items with prints or embellishments.

  • Use Cold Water:

Washing in cold water helps preserve colors and prevent shrinkage. Hot water can break down fibers and cause colors to fade.

  • Gentle Detergent:

Choose a mild, gentle detergent to prevent harsh chemicals from damaging the fabric. Avoid using too much detergent, as it can leave a residue.

  • Avoid Fabric Softeners:

While fabric softeners make clothes feel soft, they can also break down fibers over time. Consider skipping fabric softeners or using them sparingly. We have found this video on youtube explaining why we should not use fabric softener. Shoutout to Derrickwith2rs

  •     Skip the Dryer:

Air-dry your clothing whenever possible. The heat from the dryer can cause shrinkage and damage fabric. If you must use a dryer, opt for a low heat setting.

  • Lay Flat to Dry:

Lay PUFFER VEST flat to dry to maintain their shape. Hanging heavy items can cause them to stretch.

  • Treat Stains Promptly:

Address stains as soon as possible. The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove. Follow specific stain removal guidelines for different types of stains.

  • Avoid Overloading:

Overloading the washing machine can lead to inadequate cleaning and increased friction between clothes, causing damage.

  • Check Zippers and Fastenings:

Before washing, make sure all zippers are closed and fastenings secured to prevent snags and damage to other items.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your favourite clothing items remain in great condition for a longer time. Taking a little extra care during the washing and drying process can go a long way in preserving the quality of your garments.
