At HavJo, we believe that proper care extends the life of your garments and keeps them looking their best. Follow these care instructions to maintain the quality and longevity of your Hajo dresses.

General Care Instructions

1. Read the Care Label:
• Always check the care label on your garment for specific instructions.
2. Washing:
• Hand Wash: We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent for delicate fabrics like silk and linen.
• Machine Wash: For cotton and blends, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to protect it.
• Dry Clean: Some dresses may require dry cleaning. Refer to the care label for guidance.
3. Drying:
• Air Dry: Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging wet garments to prevent stretching.
• Tumble Dry: If the care label allows, use a low heat setting. Remove the garment promptly to minimize wrinkles.
4. Ironing:
• Low Heat: Use a low heat setting for delicate fabrics. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid damage.
• Steam: Steaming is a great alternative to ironing and helps remove wrinkles gently.
5. Storage:
• Hang or Fold: Store dresses on padded hangers or fold them neatly to avoid creases. Avoid overcrowding your closet to maintain the shape of your garments.
• Protect: Use garment bags for long-term storage, especially for delicate and special-occasion dresses.
