Washing tips: wash new clothes first

accreditation

Clean from the start

Problem:

Brand-new clothes get so dirty and the dirt seems hard to remove.

Solution:

Always wash new clothing items before wearing them. Clothes are treated with chemicals that preserve the garments while they're still in the shop storerooms. These chemicals actually turn any protein and most dirt into stains when they come into contact and make them hard to remove.
