Caring for coated denim requires a gentle approach to preserve the special finish. Here's how to keep your coated denim looking its best:
Here are a few methods for maintaining coated denim:
-
Professional Spot Cleaning: The safest approach is to have your coated denim professionally spot cleaned. Avoid attempting to clean it yourself with harsh chemicals, as they can damage the coating.
-
Antibacterial Spray and Air Drying: Turn the garment inside out and lightly mist with an antibacterial spray. Allow it to air dry completely. This helps to freshen the denim without harsh washing.
-
Freezing: Place the coated denim inside a garment bag and put it in the freezer for approximately 24 hours. This method can help to eliminate odors.
Important Considerations:
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage or remove the coating.
- Skip the Dryer: High heat from a dryer can also harm the coating.
- Be Cautious with Spot Cleaning: If you must spot clean at home, test a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Read the Care Label: Always check the manufacturer's care label for specific instructions.
By following these guidelines, you can prolong the life and maintain the appearance of your coated denim.
