Let’s be honest, we all have tried cleaning or washing a sweeter or a delicate cloth and totally ruined it. We’re just humans and humans make mistakes. But not anymore, we’ve listed some tips that will prevent you from butchering your clothes anymore. Tips that are recommended by dry cleaners around the world even by the centres of dry cleaning Dubai.

•    Be careful while using bleach!

Bleaching can be very useful for removing a stain. But, you need to be very careful whilst using it as bleach is a very strong chemical. It can not only ruin your piece of clothing but also can cause serious damage to your skin. So, we suggest that you should always wear plastic gloves while using bleach. Moreover, the quantity of water you choose is very important and remember strong is not always better.

•    Washing of clothes is an art

The reason why we say this is because a different piece of clothing needs washing in different time spans. If you will over wash them, they will fade. If you will under wash it, they will look dirty. We have listed down some examples for you below;
1. Jeans: After every three wears
2. Shirts: After every time you wear them
3. Sweaters: After every three wears
4. Jackets: After every two wears
5. Pants: After every two wears

•    Always read the labels

If you really want your clothes to last longer and look good. Then you need to start paying attention to the labels. You don’t always have to throw the “dry clean only” clothes to your dry cleaner. You just need to know more about you fabric content and wash it accordingly. For example; you can just throw polyester, spandex in the washing machine but you need to use cold water in case of cotton and linen.

•    Iron with care

Never iron a piece of clothing in a hurry because you might end up burning it. Take your time, be gentle. Some fabric like cotton, linen and silk are very sensitive to the heat. So, you must check the temperature of your iron before pressing it against your clothes. However, you can use a steamer and avoid ironing altogether. Just give a few passes through the steamer and hang the clothes to make it wrinkle-free.

•    Some stains are stubborn

No matter how good you think you’re, some stains require a professional attention. Moreover, it is not worth the effort. You might end up ruining the cloth forever. Dry cleaning involves knowledge of fabric and how it reacts to certain chemicals. Which you might not be very well aware of so it’s best to send it to a dry cleaner. Moreover, if you in Dubai you can look up best laundry in Dubai to take the help of the best.

•    Hang drying and other tips

Since you have honored us with your visit. Here’s an extra tip, Always keep your zippers and velcro’s closed whilst washing a piece of cloth.

To sum up, cleaning a cloth can be a real headache but it's worth it. The way you treat your clothes directly reflects your personality. Moreover, you can always take help of an experienced person like your mom or a professional. But don't worry, just follow the above tips and your clothes will look better and last longer.
