Embroidery

1. HOME LAUNDERING

• All embroidered garments should be washed with a mild detergent
• If bleach is required for washing, a small amount of chlorine bleach can be used. Non-chlorine bleach in accordance with product instructions is preferable
• Machine wash cold water
• Delicate wash cycle
• If color residue appears in water, rinse first in lukewarm water and then cold several times until rinse water becomes clear
• Remove promptly after wash cycle completion
• Never leave any piece of embroidered clothing soaking or in water or lying in a pile when wet
• Do not wring out the embroidered articles
• Do not rub stained embroidery

2. DRY CLEANING

• Embroidery may be dry cleaned, however, extreme care should be excercised when dry cleaning. Special care must be taken when dark shades are dry cleaned. Avoid use of pre-spotting agents.

3. IRONING

• Embroidered fabrics should always be ironed on the reverse side
• It is recommended to iron embroidery between two pieces of cloth
• It is not recommended to wet embroidery prior to ironing or to use a steam iron

Note: Normally the care label instructions pertain to the garment, not the embroidery. Special care should be taken when laundering embroidered garments.
