7 Secret fashion tips : which garments are better not to wash?
Okay, it's that time of year! You have all the great events planned for the upcoming period. You're already thinking about those summer garden parties, restaurant reservations for birthdays and, of course, the beautiful weddings. But wait, there's also a bit of stress, right? You want to look your best, whether you're buying something new, reviving your favorite outfits or wearing those special pieces with emotional value. So, what do you do?
Well, here at OPURO we understand that some garments are not zo easy to take care of yourself. Especially if they are a bit more complex, with intricate details or if they are just incredibly important to you. So, let's take a look together at 7 handy tips to take care of your chic clothes, with a little help from OPURO.
1. How about stylish outfits with details?
Stylish outfits for dry cleaning
As experienced dry cleaners, we understand that stylish outfits with an eye for detail are the perfect way to express your personal style. It's those little things that make all the difference. A smartly tailored blazer with beautiful buttons or a shirt with subtle embroidery can instantly take an outfit to the next level. But above all, let's not forget the details on accessories. Think striking buckles on belts, dainty necklaces or an elegant clutch with a special clasp. It is this attention to small but carefully chosen details that complete a stylish outfit and let you shine with confidence. At our dry cleaners, we can ensure that these delicate items are perfectly cleaned so that they always look their best and maintain their stylish appeal.
You probably have a few garments with shoulder pads or a neat texture. They may seem washable, but trust me, they aren't always. Washing can change their shape, and you really don't want that.
2. Leather and Velvet are beautiful, but not fond of water
We all know the rule: leather and suede do not like water. If there are stains, use a stain remover or a damp cloth to clean them. If the entire garment needs a refresh, leave that to the professionals.
3. Clothing with pearls, beads and glitter
Those beautiful embellishments on your clothes are great, right? But check to see if they are sewn or glued. If they are sewn and the material is washable, you may be able to gently hand wash them yourself. Zo not, leave the dry cleaning to the experts.
4. Those chic tailored suits, jackets and coats
They are great, but washing them is really not a good idea. There are often different types of fabric in the lining, and they can all shrink, causing your clothes to lose shape.
5. Don't forget those clothes with pleats!
You know, those garments with those beautiful pleats that make your outfit really special. Well, those sometimes need a little extra attention. Washing is important, but to keep those pleats fresh and crisp, professional help from OPURO is a smart move.
6. Garments made of acetate, triacetate or rayon
Some say you can wash these fabrics on a cold setting or hand wash them for similar results. But honestly, these fibers shrink quite a bit, and you can't undo that. Leave that to the professionals.
7. Colorfast clothing and stains
If you are wondering if your clothes will hold the color, professional cleaning is the best option. Not only do you risk discoloration of your clothes, but also of other garments that end up in the wash. Trust us to keep your clothes bright and radiant without the risk of color loss.
