Sweater weather is here in Dallas Fort Worth, so it’s time to pull out your sweaters and be sure they’re ready to wear. It may also be a good time to brush up on your sweater care practices.
SWEATER CARE
First, sort through your sweaters. If they weren’t cleaned before you stored them for summer bring them to Brantley Cleaners Addison or Brantley Cleaners University Park.
Wash cotton, silk, and cashmere sweaters every other time you wear them. Wool and synthetic fabrics or blends like acrylic and polyester can go for about five wearings. The exception is a spill or stain. Clean these immediately and follow the label instructions carefully. If you don’t want to bother with the care, you can always bring directly to us!
Dry clean all wool or wool blends. Machine washing wool will damage the fabric and probably ruin your sweater. Either wash or use Brantley Cleaners laundry service for sweaters made from other fabrics. Never wring sweaters. Gently squeeze the water out and lay them flat on a towel. Roll them up to remove excess moisture. Then lay them flat to dry on a clean towel.
Remove jewelry before putting on or taking off a sweater to avoid snags. If you get a snag, bring it to us! We will take care of it for you! We also can reweave and rehem any repairs.
