Care of Ski Wear
Take note of these few hints, they will help to prolong the life and quality of your purchase.
- Read the care label. If the item is washable take care not to exceed the temperature indicated and always dry at a low temperature, heat will contract the interlinings. Likewise, dry damp ski wear away from direct heat.
- The proofing. As a rule, synthetic fabrics retain their proofing and cottons do not. Washing cotton renders it absorbent, however in the dry cleaning process it is possible to reproof fabric.
- Deal with stains quickly. Deal with stained clothing as quickly as possible - stains left unattended develop and damage the fabric. Never store stained skiwear away for the next season.
- Never rub at stains. Blot with a white absorbent paper towel, one piece in front of the stain and one behind.
- Wool Stains. Rubbing wool causes pile damage, only rectifiable by shaving the surface.
- Hard to remove stains. However well you wash or dry clean skiwear it is not usually possible to remove stains on the seat caused by the T Bar and Button lifts. The friction of the lift forces the stain to the core of the fabric.
- Repairing damage. If a small swatch of fabric is supplied with your skiwear make sure to keep it, even the worst damage can be repaired if a matching fabric is supplied.
