š§¼ The Ultimate Fabric Care Guide: Keeping Your Clothes New, Wash After Wash
At Amiri Swiss, we design our pieces to be timeless staples in your wardrobeānot fleeting trends. To ensure your investment pieces maintain their structure, color, and luxurious feel, proper care is essential.
Think of fabric care as a crucial part of sustainable dressing: when you care for your clothes, they last longer, reducing the need to replace them.
Here is our ultimate guide to mastering the care of the four most common and delicate fabrics in your closet.
Ā
1. š Wool & Cashmere (The Cold-Weather Comforts)
Ā
Wool and cashmere are natural fibers that keep their shape best when treated gently.
| The Challenge | The Amiri Swiss Solution |
| Shrinkage | Hand Wash Only (Ideal): Use cold water and a specialized wool or baby shampoo. Gently swish the garmentādo not agitate or wring. |
| Drying | Always Lay Flat: Never hang a wet knit, as the water weight will stretch it out. Roll the garment in a clean towel to remove excess water, then reshape and lay it flat on a drying rack. |
| Pilling | Use a Fabric Shaver: Pilling is natural. Gently use a de-piller or a fabric shaver to remove bobbles without damaging the fibers. |
Pro Tip: Air your wool items outside or in a steamy bathroom after wearing. Wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than cotton.

2. š Silk (The Luxury Essential)
Ā
Silk is durable but requires the utmost care to maintain its sheen and softness.
| The Challenge | The Amiri Swiss Solution |
| Washing | Spot Clean or Dry Clean (Preferred): If hand-washing, use cold water and a very mild detergent specifically for delicates. Keep the wash time brief. |
| Stains | Act Fast, Dab Gently: Never rub a silk stain, as this can damage the fibers permanently. Dab the area with a white cloth, and if necessary, a tiny bit of white vinegar mixed with water. |
| Ironing | Iron on the Reverse: Use the lowest heat setting on your iron (the silk setting) or steam the item while it is slightly damp. Iron on the inside of the garment to protect the sheen. |
Ā
3. š Denim (The Everyday Workhorse)
Ā
Denim is robust, but washing it too often (or too hot) will cause fading and break down the fibers.
| The Challenge | The Amiri Swiss Solution |
| Fading | Wash Inside Out, Use Cold Water: This is non-negotiable! Turning your jeans inside out protects the exterior dye from the washing machine drum. |
| Odor | Freeze, Don't Wash: To eliminate odors between washes, place your denim in a sealed bag and stick it in the freezer overnight. The cold kills odor-causing bacteria. |
| Drying | Hang Dry: Tumble drying is the enemy of denim stretch and color. Always hang your jeans by the waist to dry. They may feel stiff at first, but they will soften quickly upon wearing. |
Ā
4. šæ Linen & Cotton (The Breathable Staples)
Ā
These natural fabrics are easy to care for but are prone to wrinkling and shrinkage.
| The Challenge | The Amiri Swiss Solution |
| Wrinkling | Remove from Dryer Promptly: Use a medium-heat setting and remove the item while it is still slightly damp. Hang immediately to air-dry and smooth out wrinkles. |
| Stains | Pre-Treat Directly: Cotton is durable enough for targeted treatment. Pre-treat stains with a diluted solution of laundry detergent before washing. |
| Washing | Wash Colors Separately: Even after many washes, bright or deep cotton colors can still bleed. Always sort carefully to avoid color transfer. |
Ā
The Golden Rule: Read the Care Label
Ā
Always defer to the instructions sewn into your garment. They are not suggestions; they are directives based on the specific construction and blend of that single piece.
By dedicating a little extra time and care, your Amiri Swiss wardrobe will stay looking sharp, season after season.
