First Use: It is highly recommended to wash denim garments, especially dark colors, before the first wear. This helps remove any excess dye and prevents potential color transfer onto lighter fabrics or skin. Washing: To best preserve the color and fabric integrity, machine wash cold. Turn the skort inside out before washing and use a mild detergent. Always wash with similar colors to avoid discoloration. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage denim fibers and fade the color. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang to air dry. Air drying helps maintain the skort's shape and minimizes shrinkage, though denim can take longer to dry. Avoid high heat, which can lead to excessive shrinkage and fabric damage. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. For best results, iron the garment inside out to protect the denim's finish. Storage: Store the skort folded neatly or hung to prevent unnecessary creasing and to maintain its form. Compatibility: The Stradivarius D62 Denim Skort is a highly versatile wardrobe staple.
