Pant Washing Instructions
To care for stretch garment-dyed pants and maintain their quality, follow these washing instructions:
-
Turn Inside Out: This helps protect the fabric's color and finish.
-
Wash Separately: Garment-dyed fabrics may bleed, especially in the first few washes. Washing them separately prevents color transfer.
-
Use Cold Water: Always wash in cold water to minimize color fading and fabric shrinkage.
-
Gentle Detergent: Use a mild detergent to preserve the garment's softness and dye.
-
Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can break down stretch fibers like elastane, reducing the pants' elasticity.
-
Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded area. Avoid dryers, as heat can damage the stretch properties and cause shrinkage.
-
Avoid Bleach: Even color-safe bleach can affect garment-dyed pants, so avoid it entirely.
-
Spot Cleaning: For small stains, spot-clean with cold water and mild soap to avoid unnecessary washing.
By following these steps, you’ll preserve the pants’ color, fit, and stretch for longer.
