Here is a OYSTAR STUDIO guideline on how to care properly for your apparel to keep it in good condition and extend its lifespan.
By following the actions below, you can ensure that your items stay looking and feeling their best for as long as possible.
General Recommendations
Always check the label of your garment to ensure you are following the recommended procedures.
-
We do recommend that you do a pre-wash of your new garments before the first use.
-
After using, hang your items to ventilate. This will help prevent bacteria and odors from building up and reduce the chances of damaging the material. If the item is very dirty, we recommend rinsing it as soon as possible to avoid stains.
-
Turn your garment inside-out for a thorough clean and to safeguard colours and logo applications.
-
Before washing, check that all pockets are empty, then close all zips and fastenings.
-
Fill your washing machine to its recommended capacity. Over or under-filling the machine will make the wash less efficient.
-
Wash items with similar colors to reduce the risk of color transfer. Wash items with the coldest water possible. Washing clothes at 30°C rather than higher temperatures will save around 40% of the energy used each year.
-
Choosing a short spin cycle will further reduce water and energy consumption while still cleaning your clothes sufficiently. Use a program with low spinning for all products
-
Air dry items when possible. Most items can be hung to dry. This helps them maintain their shape, makes them last longer, and saves energy compared to using a dryer.
-
Tumble dryer damages the elastic fibres, therefore it is not recommended
