GARMENT CARE GUIDE

At Olives by Sashi, every garment is thoughtfully crafted with attention to quality, comfort, and lasting style. Proper care helps preserve the fabric, color, and fit, ensuring your favorite pieces remain beautiful for years to come.

General Care Tips

• Always read the care label attached to your garment before washing.

• Wash similar colors together to prevent color transfer.

• Turn garments inside out before washing to help protect the fabric and prints.

• Avoid overloading the washing machine, as this can cause excessive friction and damage.

• Use a mild detergent that is suitable for delicate fabrics.

• Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals unless specifically recommended on the care label.

Washing Instructions

Hand Wash (Recommended for Delicate Fabrics)

• Use cold or lukewarm water.

• Add a mild detergent and gently agitate the garment.

• Do not scrub or wring the fabric.

• Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water.

Machine Wash

• Use a gentle or delicate cycle.

• Wash with cold water whenever possible.

• Place delicate garments inside a laundry bag for added protection.

• Avoid mixing heavy garments like jeans or towels with delicate clothing.

Drying Instructions

• Air dry whenever possible.

• Dry garments in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

• Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to reduce fading.

• Do not tumble dry unless the care label specifically permits it.

• Lay knitwear flat to dry to help maintain its original shape.

Ironing Guidelines

• Iron garments inside out whenever possible.

• Use the temperature recommended on the care label.

• For delicate fabrics, use a pressing cloth between the iron and the garment.

• Steam ironing is recommended for most fabrics to remove wrinkles gently.

Fabric-Specific Care

Cotton

• Machine wash in cold water.

• Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Stain Removal Tips

• Follow the care label instructions before applying any cleaning products.

Storage Tips
