Properly maintaining your clothes is essential to extend their lifespan and preserve their beauty. At Hera Company, we understand the importance of caring for your favorite pieces, regardless of the fabric. Here are our care tips to help you keep your clothes looking like new, from synthetic to cotton pieces, not forgetting tweed.

1. Synthetic Clothing

Synthetic clothing, such as polyester, acrylic or nylon, is appreciated for its resistance and ease of maintenance.

• Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle to avoid damage. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.

• Drying: Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures which can damage the fibers. Opt for drying in the open air, away from direct sources of heat and light.

2. Cotton Clothing

Cotton is known for its softness and breathability. However, it can shrink and wrinkle easily.

• Washing: Cotton tolerates hot water well, but to preserve colors, lukewarm water is preferable. Separate whites from colors to avoid color transfer.

• Drying: Air drying is ideal. If using a dryer, choose a low setting to minimize shrinkage.

3. Tweed Clothing

Tweed, with its dense and intricate weave, requires special care to maintain its texture and appearance.

• Washing: Dry cleaning is often recommended for tweed to preserve its shape and texture. If washing is necessary, opt for hand cleaning in cold water with a mild detergent.

• Drying: Avoid twisting or wringing the tweed. Gently squeeze out excess water and let dry flat on a towel to maintain its shape.

General Tips:

• Use Wash Bags: For delicate items, using wash bags can help prevent wear and tear during the wash cycle.

• Be careful when ironing: Some fabrics, such as tweed, should not be ironed in the traditional way. Use steam or an iron with a cloth between the iron and the garment to avoid damage.
