Care Guide – Fabric & Washing Tips
At Tony H Mayar, we believe that true luxury is not only about design and fit but also about how long your clothes last. A well-cared-for garment retains its quality, texture, and shine for years. To help you enjoy your fashion pieces longer, we’ve created this comprehensive care guide that covers fabric-specific washing, drying, and storage tips.
Why Garment Care Matters
Your clothes are more than fabric – they’re part of your identity and style. By following proper washing and care instructions, you:
- Maintain color richness and fabric softness.
- Avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
- Prolong the life of your favorite outfits.
- Contribute to sustainable fashion by reducing waste.
General Care Tips
- Read the Label First – Always check the care instructions on the garment’s tag before washing.
- Wash in Cold Water – Hot water can cause shrinkage and fading; cold water is gentle and effective.
- Gentle Detergent – Use mild, eco-friendly detergents to preserve fabric fibers.
- Avoid Overloading – Washing too many clothes together reduces cleaning efficiency and damages fabric.
- Air Dry When Possible – Sunlight and fresh air are the best natural dryers.
Care Instructions by Fabric
Cotton (T-Shirts, Tops, Casual Wear)
- Wash in cold or lukewarm water.
- Turn inside out before washing to preserve prints and colors.
- Avoid bleach, as it weakens cotton fibers.
- Tumble dry on low or air dry for best results.
- Iron at medium heat.
Denim & Korean Pants
- Wash inside out to reduce fading.
- Avoid frequent washing – spot clean when possible.

- Do not use high heat in dryers.
- Avoid fabric softeners that can damage synthetic fibers.
Wool & Knitted Fabrics
- Hand wash or dry clean only.
- Use lukewarm water with wool-safe detergent.
- Lay flat to dry – never hang as it stretches fabric.
- Store folded, not on hangers.
Women’s Tops & Delicate Fabrics (Silk, Rayon, Chiffon)
- Hand wash in cold water with mild soap.
- Do not wring; gently press water out.
- Air dry on a flat surface.

Washing Do’s and Don’ts
✅ Do wash dark and light colors separately.
✅ Do wash garments inside out to preserve prints.
❌ Don’t use bleach unless the care label allows.
❌ Don’t leave clothes in the machine after washing – remove immediately to avoid odor and wrinkles.
❌ Don’t tumble dry delicate fabrics.
Storage Tips
- Use wooden or padded hangers for tops and jackets.
- Fold heavy sweaters and knits to avoid stretching.
- Keep clothes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Store seasonal wear in breathable garment bags.
Eco-Friendly Care
Taking care of your clothes also means taking care of the planet:
- Wash in cold water to save energy.
- Choose short wash cycles when clothes are lightly worn.
- Air dry instead of using dryers whenever possible.
- Donate or recycle garments instead of discarding them.
