Remove from washing machine, place on hanger and dry naturally. Remaining creases will disappear once the shirt has been worn for 10-15 minutes

Alternatively, after your washing cycle finishes, pop them into the tumble dryer for a few minutes – to shake out the washing creases. Five to ten minutes should do the trick.

SUITS & TIES

Dry clean only

Let your dry cleaners know about stains or marks (and what made them) so they can treat them correctly

Suits made from wool can be damaged by harsh chemicals used in dry-cleaning – so limit to a few times a year

Hang your suit on a wooden hanger – this helps retain the shoulder shape

An occasional steam will do your suit good. Either use the steam setting on your iron or hang it in the bathroom while you shower

ADVICE & TIPS FOR LOOKING AFTER CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR

CLOTHING

DO

Always read the care label before washing and organise your laundry into groups with similar care instructions

DON'T

Use too much detergent or detergents that contain bleach

Do not tumble dry unless indicated on the care label

Do not iron prints, trims or embellishments. If need be, iron on reverse or use a clean tea towel between the iron and garment

Do not leave garments with white and contrast coloured panels soaking for prolonged periods

FOOTWEAR

DO

Invest in shoe trees – they allow recently worn shoes to contract and dry out to their ideal shape

Visit a cobbler when shoes need to be resoled

Polish your shoes – the little time you spend cleaning and polishing will be repaid by the extended lifespan

DON'T

Put wet shoes near direct heat or a radiator – they may dry too quickly and cause the leather to crack. Instead push newspaper into the shoe and let it dry naturally

Leave salt stains (from road gritting) on your shoes. Instead, remove them with a little vinegar and water

SUITS

Put wet shoes near direct heat or a radiator – they may dry too quickly and cause the leather to crack. Instead push newspaper into the shoe and let it dry naturally

Leave salt stains (from road gritting) on your shoes. Instead, remove them with a little vinegar and water

DO

Use a wishbone shaped hanger after wear

Invest in a clothes brush and brush your suit after wear; this will stop dirt settling into the fabric

Use a suit carrier for transporting suits and a cloth suit cover for when it is in the wardrobe

DON'T

Wear the same suit day after day – a suit needs 24 hours to air and breathe

Put the suit back in the closet straight after wear. Hang it in a well-ventilated area so any moisture in the wool dissipates and the fibres spring back into shape
