Storing
Properly storing clothes in your closet is essential to keep them looking their best. Hang delicate fabrics like silk and viscose on padded hangers to prevent stretching. Make sure you use the appropriate size hangers, as overly wide hangers can misshapen shoulders on your garments. Fold sweaters and t-shirts and store them in drawers or on shelves to maintain their shape.
Drying
Never tumble-dry your A.P.C. garments as the fibers deteriorate more rapidly under the combined effect of friction and heat. Instead, opt for air drying methods to preserve the integrity of the fabric. Dry your knits lying on a flat surface. This method helps prevent stretching and maintains the shape of your garment.
Washing
When it comes to washing your clothes, it's important to follow the care label instructions to ensure that your garments stay in great condition.
We advise you not to wash your A.P.C. garments too often to prevent the material from aging quickly and to prolong the life of your clothes.
Always wash top and bottom of the same set together using the same washing conditions, this helps to maintain a uniform finish between the two pieces over time. If one item from the set requires dry cleaning and the other one washing, use dry cleaning for both to ensure consistent care and longevity of the garments.
For delicate materials, it's best to use a laundry bag. This will protect them from tears and stretching, ensuring they stay in top condition for longer.
Ironing
Each material and weave has to be ironed at its own specific temperature, so please follow the one indicated on the label of your A.P.C. garment. When ironing clothes with prints or delicate embellishments, turn them inside-out to prevent any damage to the design or color.
For delicate, shiny materials or dark colors, iron on the reverse side to avoid the appearance of unwanted white marks.
Avoid steaming viscose garments as the steam may cause them to stretch (it is better to iron them without steam).
