Dancewears laundry guide

Essential care

Never place dancewear in a washing machine or tumble dryer. Gentle hand washing or a professional laundry service is recommended.

How to hand wash

  1. Use lukewarm water and a very mild soap or shampoo, such as Neutrogena or Dove.
  2. Gently work the suds through soiled areas, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  3. Never wring or twist the garment, as this can cause it to lose its original shape.

How to dry

  1. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting.
  2. Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and adjust it to its original shape.
  3. Place another towel on top and press gently to absorb moisture.
  4. Move the garment to a clean, dry towel and leave it flat to finish air-drying.

Storage and decorated garments

  • Do not hang the garment to dry or store it on a hanger, as it may lose its shape. Once completely dry, fold it gently and store it flat in a drawer.
  • Garments with sequins or beads are strongly recommended for professional dry cleaning only.
  • Keep garments away from heaters and direct sunlight while drying. Heat can shorten the garment's life and melt the glue holding stones and decorations.
