EMBROIDERED APPAREL

            RECOMMENDED CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Normal Washing

Embroidered articles are best washed with mild detergent (no bleach or other chemical admixtures) at 60ºC / 140ºF.  Never leave damp embroidered items folded or pressed together.  This is especially true for embroidery being washed for the first time.  Do not tumble dry unless the item has been thoroughly rinsed.  Never wring out an embroidered item.  The lower the washing temperature, the more important it is to thoroughly rinse the item.  Iron embroidered items on the reverse side between two cloths - never on the finished side!  Use of a steam iron for pressing is preferred over damp cloth ironing.

Washing at 95ºC / 203º (Boiling)

Due to their superior quality and color fastness, MADEIRA rayon embroidery threads can be washed at 95ºC / 203ºF with heavy-duty detergents.  (Use only those which contain no bleaching agents, peroxide, or optical brighteners as discoloration may result).

Special Considerations

If dye is released into the wash water, continue rinsing the embroidered item until the water runs clear.  Remove stains only with solvents that do not contain bleaching or discoloring agents.  Wash embroidered items immediately after using any stain remover.

Environmental protection laws sometimes force changes in dyes and dying processes.  For these reasons and despite maximum efforts, there is a possibility of minimal color differences.  According to present German standards, MADEIRA products are guaranteed to be free of harmful substances.
