Garment care
Caring for your garments can be a bit of a minefield. To help you to
care for your uniform, we recommend these few tips. We hope they will
help to keep your child’s school uniform looking good as new, for as
long as possible.
- Always check your garment labels before washing and adhere to the recommendations.
- Shrinkage can occur, particularly if a wash is too hot or the garment has been tumble dried incorrectly. Lower heats for washing and drying are recommended.
- Iron on reverse. Avoid ironing embroidered badges and printed areas. When using our Iron on labels only use on fabrics suitable for ironing and use a barrier rather than ironing directly onto the fabric. Don’t attempt to iron onto stretchy fabrics.
- Fasten velcro, zips and buttons before washing. This will prevent damage to fabric and also help garments keep shape.
- Our blazers are machine washable! Once washed, hang them straight onto a hanger to dry, this will help keep their best shape.
- Place delicate items in a pillowcase or laundry bag.
- Where a wash is too hot or the machine is overfilled, bobbling may appear over the course of time; brushing the garment with a soft brush is an effective means of removing bobbled material from jumpers and trousers.
- Separate your coloured garments from your whites and consider using a detergent to suit the fabric.
Caring for your printed garment:
- DO NOT wash garments above 40°C
- Please use a medium cycle to wash (600-800rpm)
- Washing cycles of smaller times are recommended (30 mins – 1hr)
- DO NOT tumble dry – High temperatures can have a huge impact on the quality of the print
- DO NOT Iron
- Turn garment inside out before washing to increase print longevity
- Fabric softener – be aware it can affect the print adhesive and quality
