ExOfficio Garment Care

General Guidelines:

• Proper care will add years to your travel clothing.
• Be sure to follow label guidelines when caring for garments.

Synthetic Fabrics:

• Synthetic fabrics are sensitive to heat. If you need to use an iron, be careful. Use low heat or fabric might melt or shrink.
• Synthetic fabrics wash easily and dry quickly.
• To remove grease or oil stains, apply liquid detergent and allow it to soak in prior to washing.
• Dry cleaning is best for bad stains.
• Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.

Natural Fabrics: (cotton)

• Cotton creases when washed, wrinkles when worn, and will need considerable ironing - yet it is by far one of the most comfortable fabrics.
• Cottons are not colorfast, so wash these items separately when new.
• Cotton also tends to shrink when washed, but can be pulled back into place after washing.
• Contact with acids (such as fruit juice) can weaken cotton if left for long periods of time. Wash out any staining immediately.
