So Easy Care: Diane Kennedy clothing

So easy to care for Diane Kennedy clothing

Bamboo 

1. Machine wash on cold or warm with regular detergent. Pre-treat stains. Diane recommends 'Shout' for grease stains. It's takes it right out! 

2. Lay flat or hang bamboo clothing to dry. (The dryer is not recommended for any garment that contains Lycra, spandex or elastic.)

3. Ironing is usually not needed but if you like you can iron them on a cotton setting or use a steamer.

 

Cotton

1. Machine Wash on cold or warm with regular detergent. Separate the colours....so no RED socks or other bright or dark items that could transfer the colour onto the lighter parts of your garment. (It's ok to wash all your Diane Kennedy cotton together as the colours don't run)

2. Hang to dry

3. While still wet, smooth out the wrinkles

Yep, that's it. It's worth spending a few minutes on #3. Taking the time to smooth out the wrinkles after hanging it up will go a long way toward being iron free! Smooth the collar, put your hands in the pockets, run your hand along the hem until it's hanging straight.

If you're going somewhere special or if your cotton item has come fresh out of the package go ahead and iron it with steam on a cotton setting.

 

Be sure to give the clothes in your closet enough room so it they can hang freely and be ready to go wrinkle free when you are. Diane Kennedy clothing is so timeless and with proper care they can be worn for years!
