What is Hand Wash Only?

Hand wash only is a laundry symbol indicating that the garment requires washing by hand or using a gentle cycle in a washing machine. This symbol is used to preserve the quality, appearance, and longevity of the fabric.

Why Choose Hand Wash Only?

1. Fabric Protection: Hand washing or gentle machine cycles help prevent damage to delicate fabrics, reducing the risk of shrinkage, color bleeding, and other textile issues.
2. Color Preservation: Washing in cold water and with a gentle detergent helps maintain vibrant colors, ensuring your clothes stay looking their best.
3. Environmental Benefits: Hand washing is a more sustainable option, reducing the environmental impact associated with high-water and high-energy machine wash cycles.

How to Hand Wash Hand Wash Only Garments

1. Use Cold Water: Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water and add a small amount of gentle, color-safe detergent.
2. Gentle Agitation: Submerge the garment and gently mix the water to distribute the detergent.
3. Soak: Allow the garment to soak for 5-10 minutes.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the garment under cool running water until the water runs clear.
5. Hang to Dry: Gently press excess water out of the garment and lay it flat or hang it to dry away from direct heat sources.

Tips for Extend Garment Lifespan

• Turn Inside Out: Always turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the exterior.
• Avoid Bleaching: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric.
• Fit Appropriately: Ensure the garment fits properly to avoid stretching or over-tightening during wash cycles.

By choosing hand wash only garments and following the proper care instructions, you can enjoy long-lasting, high-quality clothing that withstands the test of time.
