Love Your Clothes: A Simple Guide to Making Your Micking Co. Pieces Last
You’ve invested in pieces you love—now let’s make sure they stay that way. Proper care is the secret to keeping your clothes looking new, feeling soft, and lasting for years to come. Follow these simple tips to protect your investment and build a wardrobe that stands the test of time.
1. The Washing Basics:
Turn Garments Inside Out: This protects the outer fabric from friction and fading in the wash.
Wash in Cold Water: Cold water is gentler on fabrics, helps preserve colors, and saves energy.
Use a Gentle Detergent: Harsh chemicals can break down fibers and cause colors to dull over time.
2. The Drying Rule (We Can’t Stress Enough!):
Air Dry When Possible: The single best thing you can do for your clothes is to avoid the dryer. Hang or lay your pieces flat to dry. It prevents shrinkage, maintains shape, and significantly reduces wear and tear.
If You Must Tumble Dry: Use the lowest heat setting and remove items while they are still slightly damp to finish air drying.
3. Fabric-Specific Tips:
For Our Premium Cottons: These fabrics get softer with every wash. Avoid high heat to prevent shrinkage.
For Your Favorite Hoodie: To keep the fleece interior soft and prevent pilling, wash it inside out and always air dry.
For Your Caps: Spot clean when possible. For a deeper clean, hand wash with a soft brush and let it air dry, never in the dryer.
4. The Art of Storage:
Fold heavy knits like sweaters and hoodies to prevent them from stretching on the hanger.
Store your pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Taking a little extra care goes a long way. By following these steps, you’re not just doing laundry—you’re preserving the quality and feel of the pieces that make up your personal style.
