Bring a garment in for
professional cleaning as soon as possible after staining occurs. Stains
and soil left too long can be impossible to remove and will shorten the
life of your garment.
Discuss any stains with
your cleaner. Be especially sure to point out light-colored or invisible
spills.
Keep perfumes, lotions,
deodorants, antiperspirants, and other toiletries from coming in contact
with your clothes.
Protect your garments
from excessive perspiration, especially silk.
Have matching pieces
cleaned together so that any color loss will be uniform and the pieces will
still match.
Protect your garments
from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
Don't press stained or
soiled clothes.
