Clothing Care Guide — Avenoir

Page Title: Clothing Care Guide

Taking care of your clothes means they last longer, look better, and feel great every time you wear them. At Avenoir, we want your pieces to stay beautiful wash after wash. Follow these simple care tips to keep your wardrobe in perfect condition.

👗 General Washing Tips

  • Always check the care label inside your garment before washing
  • Turn clothes inside out to protect colors and embellishments
  • Use cold water (30°C or below) for most items — it's gentler on fabric and saves energy
  • Never overload your washing machine — clothes need space to move freely
  • Use a mild, gentle detergent for delicate fabrics

👙 Delicate Fabrics (Lace, Chiffon, Silk)

Delicate fabrics require extra love and attention:

  • Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent
  • Never wring or twist — gently squeeze out water
  • Lay flat on a clean towel to dry, away from direct sunlight
  • Store in a cool, dry place — avoid hanging delicate pieces as they may stretch

👚 Cotton & Everyday Wear

  • Machine wash on a gentle or normal cycle with cold water
  • Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent shrinking
  • Iron on medium heat if needed
  • Fold and store neatly — avoid leaving in a pile for too long

👔 Structured Pieces (Blazers, Tailored Items)

  • Dry clean or spot clean when possible
  • Store on proper hangers to maintain shape
  • Use a fabric steamer to remove wrinkles — avoid direct iron contact
  • Keep in garment bags to protect from dust

🌿 Eco-Friendly Care Tips

  • Wash less frequently — most garments only need washing after 2-3 wears
  • Air dry instead of tumble drying — saves energy and extends fabric life
  • Use eco-friendly detergents that are gentle on both fabric and environment
  • Repair small tears or loose buttons immediately instead of discarding

❌ What To Avoid

  • Never bleach colored garments
  • Avoid drying clothes in direct sunlight — colors fade
  • Don't use fabric softener on synthetic fabrics like polyester — it reduces performance
  • Never iron directly on embellishments, prints, or sequins

📦 Storage Tips

  • Store seasonal clothes in breathable cotton bags — never plastic
  • Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep moths away
  • Fold knitwear instead of hanging — prevents stretching
  • Keep your wardrobe clean, dry, and well-ventilated
