A blazer is a stylish piece of clothing that requires special care. Improper washing can damage its fabric, fit, or structure.
How to Wash a Blazer
- Check the Label: Blazers usually have a care label indicating whether they require dry cleaning or can be machine washed. Always follow these instructions.
- Hand Washing: If the blazer is not suitable for machine washing, wash it by hand in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently press the fabric to clean it without damaging its structure.
- Machine Washing: Choose a gentle cycle (e.g., wool or hand wash) with a low spin speed (400–600 RPM). Use a special detergent designed for delicate fabrics and place the blazer in a garment bag for extra protection.
- Drying: Never use a tumble dryer. Hang the blazer on a hanger and let it air dry naturally to maintain its shape.
Care Tips
- Extend the life of your blazer by regularly airing it out in fresh air and cleaning it with a clothing brush to remove dust.
- Gently clean local stains with a damp cloth and an appropriate cleaning product.
- Hang the blazer on high-quality hangers to prevent deformation.
