• The first wash is the most important!

  • Do not exceed temperatures recommended on the care label.

  • Warm water is recommended for the 1st wash and then cold water for all subsequent washes.

  • Each garment should be washed separately (i.e., wash shell by itself, then skirt, etc…)

  • Use a mild detergent, without fabric softener. Do not use bleach.

 

If the initial washing instructions are not followed, the colours may bleed onto one another. If this happens, wash the garment AGAIN (before drying), following the instructions above.

 

• Always remove the garment promptly from the washer once the cycle is completed.

  • Leaving the garment in the washer for prolonged periods of time can cause the fabrics to bleed and/or leave unsightly wrinkles in the garment.

  • Never use the small load option

 

• NEVER machine wash uniforms with rhinestones

 

• NEVER machine dry the uniform: Once the uniform has been washed, immediately hang it up to dry.

 

• NEVER dry clean the uniforms

  • Dry cleaning can yellow the uniform or leave an unsightly sheen. Dry cleaning also causes tackle twill lettering to fade, bubble, or stiffen. 

  • Dry cleaning may harden the glue of the rhinestones, making them fall, and may alter the shiny layer, making them look dull. 

 

• NEVER use fabric softener: Fabric softeners block the soil release properties and can cause dirt and stains to resist removal.

 

• Avoid contact with Aerosols (hairspray, deodorant), Glitter & Lotions.

 

• NEVER iron your uniform

 

• Washing and line drying the garment BEFORE wearing can help prevent colour bleeding due to perspiration.

 

• NEVER rub fabrics together, especially the sublimated mesh and misty materials

 

• It is strongly recommended to wash each fabric separately. 

 

Unfortunately, these fabrics, even with the best care, may experience natural wear and tear, meaning that colours may fade, and rhinestones may fall, especially in high contact areas.

Specialty fabrics are more delicate due to their unique fabric content and may experience colour transfer if proper care instructions are not followed. These fabrics may have potential to fade or rub off with normal wear and tear, especially in high-contact areas.
