[STEP03] PREPARE PRIOR TO LAUNDRY!Before you do laundry, sort clothes to prevent shrinking, stretching and fading.
CHECK FOR COLOR FASTNESS
For dark or patterned items, dampen a dry white cloth with Syarevons and hand pat in inconspicuous areas such as the interior seam. Check to see if an unwanted color comes off. Wash clothes separately when you see color transfer. Do not rub stain as it will damage the material.
PRETREAT EXCESS DIRT & STAINS
Before doing your laundry, apply Syarevons to dirt and stain on collars and sleeves, covering the area with your fingers or towel. Use oxygen bleach on yellow or blood stains and wash immediately with Syarevons. Wash at 30°C or lower.*Avoid using oxygen bleach on clothes with metal decorations.
HOW TO FOLD CLOTHES BEFORE PUTTING CLOTHES
INSIDE THE WASHING MACHINE & LAUNDRY TUB
Always fold clothes before placing items inside mesh laundry bags. Flip the garment over to stain (cuffs, collars, hems, etc) side up. Close your zippers and buttons before folding clothes to the size of mesh laundry bags and tubs.*Leave outdoor jackets unzipped or unbuttoned when folding. Turn your garments inside out for dark, delicate, patterned or embellished clothes.
[STEP03] HOW TO WASH (WASHING MACHINE・HAND-WASH)Select the right washing machine cycle and always use mesh laundry bags.
DOING LAUNDRY WITH WASHING MACHINE
Select delicate cycle (also called the gentle cycle on some washers) / dry cycle*
Do not forget to use mesh laundry bags at all times to prevent shrinking, stretching and fading. The rule of thumb is to fill each bag with a single item. Choose the right laundry bag to suit the dimensions of the folded clothes. Otherwise, fold clothes in the exact same size of laundry bag and make sure it doesn’t move within the bag.*Carefully select the best washer cycle (dry, gentle, normal, delicate, etc) for your laundry. Name of wash cycles and setting vary depending on washing machines.
WASHING YOUR CLOTHES BY HAND
Wash warm with maximum temperature of 30°C. Hot water can cause clothes and fabrics to shrink.
PRESS WASH
Ideal for washing wool garments, knitted sweaters, cardigans and pants. Fold clothes with dirty areas or spot stains facing up. Press down on your laundry using gentle motions. Repeat this process as many times as needed.*Aggressive scrubbing or vigorous twisting can damage fabrics.
SHAKING WASH
Ideal for washing thin, wrinkle-prone fabrics such as blouse and scarfs. Hold the item firmly around the edges using both hands in liquid detergent and wash by gently agitating the fabric.
ACCORDION-STYLE WASH
Ideal for taking care of delicate clothing such as blouse and skirts. Hold garment firmly around the edges using both hands in liquid detergent. Gently compress and expand your laundry. Repeat this process as many times as needed.
PINCH WASH
Ideal for washing spot stains on knits and sweaters as well as deep-cleaning baseball caps and hats. Simply pinch and release stained area with your palms and fingertips. Repeat this process as many times as needed.
TOWEL-DRYING
Ideal for significantly reducing time to dry wrinkle-prone clothing, caps and hats. Put down a large, fluffy towel and lay the wet garment on top. Gently press, allowing the towel to absorb the excess water from the item.*Do not rub too hard to avoid damaging the fabric.
