Care instructions for Piel Mimossa garments

Here's a breakdown of recommended care instructions to maintain your Piel Mimossa clothes quality and longevity:

Washing:

• Cold Water: Always wash in cold water. Hot water can damage the spandex fibers, causing them to lose elasticity and potentially shrink the fabric.  
• Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize agitation, which can also damage spandex.  
• Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
• Mesh Laundry Bag: Consider using a mesh laundry bag to protect the garment from excessive friction and snags during washing.
• Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can coat the spandex fibers and reduce their elasticity.  

Drying:

• Air Dry: The best option is to air dry the garment. Hang it or lay it flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
• Low Heat (If Necessary): If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting possible. Remove the garment while it's still slightly damp to prevent over-drying.
• Avoid High Heat: High heat can damage the spandex fibers and cause shrinkage. 

Ironing:

• Low Heat (If Necessary): If you need to iron the garment, use a low heat setting.
• Pressing Cloth: Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect it from direct heat.  
• Avoid Direct Ironing on High Spandex areas: if the item has high amounts of exposed spandex, it is best to avoid ironing those areas.

Additional Care:

• Avoid Bleach: Never use chlorine bleach on spandex or polyester blends.
• Storage: Store the garment in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, as this can cause stretching.
• Check the Garment Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the garment's label, as manufacturers may have unique recommendations. 

By following these care instructions, you can help keep your Piel Mimossa garments in good condition.
