Care Advice

1. Keep robes stored in a cool dark place, away from moths and insects. It is a good idea to hang a stick of 'Vapona' or some similar insecticide in the wardrobe. 'Vapona' does not smell, and is available from most branches of Boots the Chemists.
2. Use a good coat hanger. Ensure the robes are fastened and are hanging correctly whilst on the coat hanger.
3. Keep robes covered in cotton or in a canvas bags (these breathe and allow air to circulate around the robes).
4. Ensure the robes are kept in a well ventilated wardrobe, and that the robes are not crushed.
5. Do not keep the robes in plastic for long periods of time (plastic does not breathe).
6. Do not keep the robes in damp places, as dampness will cause mould and mildew.
7. Ensure that the robes are cleaned at regular intervals. The interval will depend on their usage, but it should be not more than two years. All pieces of an outfit should be cleaned together.
8. Have repairs carried out regularly. A stitch in time really does save nine.
9. If a robe becomes wet, hang it to dry at room temperature, in a well ventillated room until it is dry. Then press it. Ensure the iron is not too hot, and does not melt any polyester fabric.
