How should I wash this school skirt?

Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their sharpness
Ensure the skirt is ironed while damp on a low heat setting. Avoid excessive heat which can damage synthetic fibers.
Waistband feels too loose or tight
While designed for a comfortable fit, minor adjustments may be needed. For younger children with pull-on waistbands, ensure the correct size is selected. For older sizes with zip/button, check fastening.
Stains not coming out (on grey variant)
Treat stains promptly with a mild detergent. For persistent stains on this non-stain-resistant grey fabric, a careful spot clean or professional cleaning may be required.
Skirt appears faded after washing
Always wash at the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying.
