  • Care for the color of your clothes!

    Did you know that white, black or brightly colored garments require special care? Here are some tips to help keep your clothes looking new.

  • Washing Colored Clothes

    1. Before washing the new colored clothes in your washing machine, do a test in the sink with detergent and water to see if the color runs. If the color runs, you will need to hand wash.
    2. If line drying, whenever possible, hang clothes in the shade. Direct exposure to the sun tends to discolor and stain your clothing.
    3. Follow directions on the label, and separate clothes by color and type of cycle. Separate the whites from the darks, and don't mix the bright colors with black and white.
    4. Use Sta-Soft Complete to give your clothes an irrestible freshness and protect their colour, making them look bright and new for longer

  • Special Tips for Washing Black Clothes

    4. Use a cloth to iron over dark garments so that it doesn’t create shine marks, or iron inside out.
