Ashton G Sweater

Proper washing and care will help maintain your pet’s sweater, ensuring it stays soft, clean, and cozy for longer use. Follow these care instructions:

 

Washing Instructions:

1. Read the Label:

Always check the care tag on the sweater for specific instructions. Many pet sweaters are made of delicate materials that require gentle handling.

2. Spot Clean for Minor Stains:

• Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap to clean small stains.

• Rinse with a damp cloth and let it air dry.

3. Hand Wash (Preferred):

• Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of gentle detergent.

• Submerge the sweater and gently swirl it to clean.

• Avoid scrubbing or wringing the fabric.

4. Machine Wash (if allowed):

• Use a delicate or gentle cycle with cold water.

• Turn the sweater inside out to protect its outer surface.

• Place the sweater in a laundry bag to prevent stretching or snagging.

• Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.

 

Drying Instructions:

1. Air Dry:

• Lay the sweater flat on a clean towel to dry naturally.

• Avoid hanging the sweater to prevent it from stretching out of shape.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve its color and softness.

2. Avoid Tumble Drying:

• High heat can shrink or damage the fabric, so air drying is recommended.

 

Additional Care Tips:

• De-Pill if Necessary:

Use a fabric shaver or gently remove any pills (tiny balls of fabric) that may form on the sweater over time.

• Storage:

• Fold the sweater neatly and store it in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid leaving it in damp or humid areas to prevent mold or odors.

• Re-shape While Damp:

If the sweater loses its shape, gently stretch it back to its original form while it’s still damp.

• Avoid Overwashing:

Only wash the sweater when necessary to prolong its lifespan and maintain the fabric’s integrity.

 

By following these steps, you can ensure your pet’s sweater stays clean, fresh, and comfortable for long-term use.
