Here are 6 practical tips on how to care for your AYANI dresses:
1. Wash Less
- The easiest way to care for your garments is to reduce the frequency of washing.
- Use eco-friendly detergents whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.
2. Switch to Cold Water
- Save up to 90 percent of energy by washing your clothes in cold water.
- When our care labels call for machine washing, we recommend using cold water.
3. Use Gentle Wash Program
- Using the gentle wash program vs standard wash program not only preserves the quality of your garments but also proves more energy-efficient, ultimately saving you money on your utility bills.
- Plus clothes come out with fewer wrinkles.
4. Hang or Line Dry
- Dryers consume a huge amount of energy, as well as are terrible for textiles. Tossing and tumbling in a dryer stresses the fabric and can cause real damage.
- Hang or line drying not only conserves energy but also helps preserve the fibers and extend the life of your garments.
5. Steam Instead of Iron
- Using a steamer not only saves energy but also freshens your clothes, reducing the need for dry cleaning.
- This simple switch can help you maintain the appearance and longevity of your favorite AYANI dresses.
6. Choose Plant-based Detergents
- Opt for products made from natural plant-based materials. They are far more gentle on the garment's fabric and your skin.
