Dry Cleaning Care Instructions for Bottoms (Pants, Trousers, Skirts, etc.)

At FOLD4U, we ensure your bottoms are expertly cared for with the highest standards. Follow these guidelines to help us provide the best service for your garments:

1. Fabric Identification

Different fabrics require different treatments. Please check the garment’s care label for specific instructions. Common materials include:

• Wool: Typically requires dry cleaning, especially for tailored pants and skirts.
• Silk: Handle with care, and always dry clean to preserve texture and sheen.
• Cotton & Linen: Some cotton and linen garments can be safely machine-washed, but others may benefit from dry cleaning to avoid shrinkage or fading.
• Synthetic Fabrics (Polyester, Nylon, etc.): Usually machine washable, but dry cleaning is recommended for a polished finish.

2. Stain Removal

Before bringing in your bottoms for dry cleaning, point out any visible stains (e.g., oil, wine, or makeup) to our staff. Different stains require different treatments:

• Oil-Based Stains: Usually need special solvents.
• Water-Based Stains: More easily removed with steam and water solutions.
• Ink or Dye Marks: Might require specific processes to prevent spreading or color distortion.

3. Color Preservation

To preserve the color of your bottoms, we use high-quality, color-safe detergents during the dry cleaning process. Always ask about:

• Fading Concerns: Dark colors (like blacks or navy) may need special attention to prevent fading.
• Mixed Fabric: If your garment has multiple fabric types (e.g., wool and leather), let us know so we can handle it properly.

4. Pressing and Finishing

• Creases and Pleats: We can press your pants or skirts with sharp creases or maintain soft, natural lines, depending on your preference.
• Wrinkle Removal: With the latest steam technology, we eliminate wrinkles without damaging delicate fabrics.

5. Special Care for Delicate Materials

• Leather, Suede & Corduroy: These materials require gentle care. Please ensure these garments are cleaned with specialized processes, and note if you have specific requests for softening or conditioning the material.
• Sequins & Embellishments: If your garment has delicate beading, sequins, or other embellishments, inform us to ensure the proper method is used.

6. Storage and Pick-Up

• Hanging & Packaging: After your dry cleaning service is complete, we will hang your bottoms with proper hangers or neatly fold them, depending on the garment’s style.
• Storage Tip: Avoid storing your dry-cleaned garments in plastic bags for extended periods. If you don’t plan to wear your items immediately, hang them in a breathable garment bag.

7. Frequency of Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your clothing. For trousers and skirts worn daily:

• Business Attire: Dry clean every 4-5 wears.
• Casual Bottoms: Dry clean every 6-8 wears or as needed.

Note: Over-dry cleaning can wear out fabrics, so it's a good idea to clean only when necessary.

Additional Tips

• Avoid Washing Bottoms Too Often: Over-washing can cause shrinkage and loss of texture. Dry cleaning helps maintain the shape and color.
• Avoid Sitting on Rough Surfaces: Protect your bottoms from dirt or abrasion by avoiding sitting on rough surfaces when possible.
