We know how to extend the life of outerwear and store it in the summer.
Down jackets
2 times / season
How to wash?
Machine wash is very damaging to down padding, so you should not wash down jackets very often.
Wash in cold water with a bleach-free product.
If after washing your jacket or down jacket is soft and out of shape, dry it in the drum of the washing machine with three clean tennis balls.
Fleece clothing
Wash after 6-7 socks
How to wash?
To keep the fleece nap soft, turn the garment inside out and wash with the same color. Do not wash these items with fluffy items.
Use an extra rinse to thoroughly rinse all detergent off the fabric.
Hats, scarves and gloves
3-5 times per season
How to wash?
Hats, scarves and seals should be washed more often, woolen items should be washed by hand, and leather gloves should be dry-cleaned.
Tights
after every wash
It is more correct to wash the tights by hand, but warm and dense - in a washing machine in a special bag.
Do not squeeze the tights hard and dry them on the battery.

Suede and leather jackets
once a season
How to wash:
Leather goods cannot be washed, it is better to give them to dry cleaning. But you can get rid of specks at home. Protect your clothes from cosmetics and perfume, do not overload the pockets of your jacket - this will deform them.
Wool coat
1-2 times a season
How to wash?
It is better to dry-clean the coat so that it does not look dull and worn. Use a brush regularly to remove dust and dirt. A sticky roller brush with added fragrance can freshen the fabric.
Sweaters
after 2-5 socks
How to wash?
Woolen, acrylic and polyester sweaters can be worn more than 3 times, and more delicate fabrics need to be washed after 2-3 socks.
We recommend that you follow the instructions on the label when washing.
The most suitable option for washing is hand washing, but if you wish, the sweater can be dry-cleaned.
