At Nocturnal®, we take pride in crafting high-quality fashion essentials for our valued customers. To ensure that your nocturnal® garments maintain their beauty and longevity, it’s crucial to follow proper care and storage guidelines. Below, we share expert tips on how to best care for your Nocturnal pieces:
Washing Instructions:
- Preparation: Always turn garments inside out before washing to protect the outer surface.
- Washing Settings: Opt for a gentle cycle with a water temperature not exceeding 30°C (86°F) to preserve fabric integrity.
- Sorting Laundry: When preparing your laundry, sort items both by color and material type. Keep light and dark shades separate to prevent color transfer. Simultaneously, segregate delicate fabrics from heavier or textured materials to protect the softer garments from damage.
During Washing:
- Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water to avoid shrinkage or color fading.
- Detergent Use: Ensure detergent is fully dissolved in water before adding your garments. Direct contact with concentrated detergent can harm fabric and designs.
- Soaking Time: Limit soaking to under 20 minutes to prevent weakening of fibers.
- Avoid Strong Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach, oil-based solvents, and alcohol in cleansers, which can damage fabric and fade colors.
Drying and Ironing Tips:
- Drying Techniques:
- Dry garments by hanging from the bottom to prevent deformation, especially around the neck and shoulders.
- Choose a shaded, well-ventilated area for drying to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade.
- Always dry the garment inside-out to protect the outer surface.
- Ironing Guidelines:
- Never iron directly over any prints or designs.
- Iron on the reverse side of the garment to prevent damage.
- Use a low to medium heat setting to avoid overheating and potential fabric damage.
Additional Care Tips:
- Storage: Keep your garments in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold and unwanted stains, especially for cotton items known for their absorbency.
- Handling Prints: For items with decorative prints or embroidery, extra care should be taken to avoid friction against rough surfaces which might cause peeling or fading.
By following these care instructions, you can enjoy your nocturnal® garments in their best condition for as long as possible. We’re committed to ensuring that every piece you purchase from us continues to meet your fashion needs and expectations.
