5 Tips for Cleaning and Caring for Delicate Garments
Delicate garments
are beautiful to wear but aren’t always the easiest to maintain. They aren’t
made with thicker fabrics that allow them to be tossed in a washer or folded to
be stored in the closet. Fine knits, lace, chiffon, and velvet need special care
when cleaning and storing. Here are five easy tips for taking care of such
fabrics:
1. Wash delicate garments the right way. Start sorting the delicates by type because washing delicates of
different fabrics may snag in the wash and lose their shape. Zippers and other
enclosures that aren’t securely fastened can also damage clothes, especially
fine ones like silk. Users can choose to wash their delicates in a mesh bag and
under the “Delicate” or “Gentle” wash setting with the lowest spin cycle and
turn them inside out to protect their color.
Samsung’s AirDresser is the
newest innovation in clothing care. Its Wrinkle
Care technology uses a combination of steam and air to relax and smooth out
creases in clothes, so they’re ready to wear. It removes 100% of wrinkles from
woolen clothes and 80% of creases from rayon material. HeatPump Drying gently dries clothes to reduce damage and
shrinkage.
2. Disinfect. Washing clothes
rids them of dirt but disinfecting them offers an extra layer of protection.
This is especially important for garments with embellishments like beads or
sequins, since washing them too frequently may damage them or the clothes that
go with them in the wash.
The AirDresser
keeps clothes extra clean through the Jet
Air technology, which blows powerful jets of air upwards on the garments to
loosen and remove dust. Its JetSteam system
also infuses high-temperature steam to eliminate 99.9% of viruses and bacteria,
100% of house mites, 99% of odor-causing gases, and 99% of other harmful
substances.
3. Keep clothes fresh. Mold and
mildew may form in closets because of the lack of ventilation. This may cause
odors that stick to clothing. If clothes don’t smell fresh when stored in a
closet, find the source and eliminate it immediately. Delicate fabrics, like
cashmere, are best enjoyed when they smell good, too.
The AirDresser has
a Deodorizing Filter that freshens
clothes, by breaking down the particles of odors caused by sweat, tobacco, and
food. The AirDresser also keeps itself tidy with Self Clean technology, which dehumidifies, sanitizes, and
deodorizes inside. It doesn’t need detergent as it uses a combination of heat,
air, and steam to clean the interiors. It also notifies homeowners when it
needs cleaning.
4. Always read the label. Fabrics
like fine knits require hand washing or dry cleaning. Some are specifically for
dry cleaning only so it’s important to bring these pieces to a professional
cleaner to prolong their shape and quality.
Using the SmartThings app, the Samsung AirDresser
has a Care Recipe and Special Course features that can provide special cycles
for different kinds of fabric. Fancy clothes, especially sensitive garments,
can also be cared for by the AirDresser - minimizing the need for professional
services such as dry cleaning.
5. Treat stains
instantly. Stains from coffee, wine, ink, and makeup
are unavoidable but what’s important is that these are treated immediately.
When treating stains for intricate fabrics, natural stain removers like white
vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice work best. During the wash, rub it gently
on the stain with a finger and use only as much as necessary; do not use
commercial stain removers or bleach.
