Chak Essentials Garment Care Guide

Your Chak Essentials pieces are designed to be timeless, stylish, and comfortable. Follow these care instructions to maintain their quality, durability, and softness.

Washing Guidelines

  • Read the Care Label – Follow the specific instructions to keep fabrics in top condition.
  • Use Cold or Lukewarm Water – Help preserve colour vibrancy and prevent shrinkage.
  • Wash Similar Colors Together – Avoids colour bleeding, especially with rich and deep tones.
  • Use Mild, Eco-Friendly Detergents – Protects fabric integrity and prevent fading.
  • Turn Garments Inside Out – Reduces friction and protects delicate prints, embroidery, and soft fabrics.
  • Hand Wash Delicate Pieces – If the fabric is lightweight or has special detailing, wash gently.
  • Avoid Overwashing – Air out garments after wearing to reduce frequent washing and maintain fabric strength.

Drying Rules

  • Air Dry Flat or on a Hanger – Helps maintain the garment's shape and prevents stretching.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight – Prolonged exposure can fade colours and weaken fibres.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry  – Heat may cause shrinkage.
  • Gently Reshape Knits Before Drying – Ensures they retain their original silhouette.

Ironing & Steaming

  • Use a Steamer Instead of an Iron –  This reserves fabric softness and removes wrinkles without damage.
  • If Ironing, Use Low Heat – High temperatures can weaken delicate fabrics like modal, bamboo, or blends.
  • Iron Inside Out for Prints & Embroidery – Protects embellishments from heat damage.
  • Use a Pressing Cloth for Extra Protection – Prevent shiny marks on delicate fabrics.

Storage Tips

  • Fold Heavy or Stretchy Fabrics Instead of Hanging – Prevents distortion and stretching.
  • Use Padded Hangers for Soft, Flowing Garments – Helps to maintain shoulder shape.
  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place – Prevents moisture buildup that can damage fabrics.
  • Avoid Plastic Covers for Long-Term Storage – Opt for breathable cotton garment bags instead.

General Maintenance

  • Spot Clean Stains Immediately – The sooner you treat stains, the easier they are to remove.
  • Use Fabric Fresheners Between Wears – Reduces the need for frequent washing and keeps garments fresh.
  • Mend Small Tears & Loose Threads Early – Prevents further damage and extends garment lifespan.
  • Rotate Your Wardrobe – Avoid excessive wear on favourite pieces by alternating outfits.

With proper care, your Chak Essentials pieces will stay effortlessly stylish and comfortable for years to come!
