A Guide to Caring for Your Apparel
How many times have you seen your shirts go into the dryer in the size you bought them in and come out as a toddler’s size 2? I don’t know about you but I hate to ruin my clothing, especially when I care for it in the wrong way. Not all shirts can just be tossed into the washer and dryer, sometimes specific instructions need to be followed. Although care directions are usually listed on the tag- not everyone reads them. This is a great guide to share with employees who wear uniforms or if you are considering giving shirts away at a conference, event, or employee picnic it may be a great idea to include a small piece of paper with care instructions-especially if it’s a fabric not many people wear yet-like organics.
Below is a simple guide on caring for your clothing:
