Proper care for your 100% cotton Polo Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Jumper is essential to maintain its quality, shape, and luxurious feel over time.
Washing Instructions
- Hand Wash Cold: For best results and to ensure longevity, hand washing is highly recommended. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate garments.
- Machine Wash Delicate: If machine washing, turn the jumper inside out to protect the outer knit. Use a delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the cotton fibers and alter the color.
Drying Instructions
- Lay Flat to Dry: *Never* tumble dry, as high heat will cause cotton to shrink and lose its shape. Gently reshape the jumper and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Avoid Hanging When Wet: Hanging a wet knit jumper can cause it to stretch out of shape, particularly at the shoulders and hem.
Storage
- Fold, Don't Hang: Store your jumper folded neatly in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging for prolonged periods, even when dry, can stretch the fabric and distort its shape, especially at the shoulders.
- Keep Away from Moisture: Ensure storage areas are dry and well-ventilated to prevent mildew or odors.
Ironing
- Low Heat, Inside Out: If ironing is necessary, turn the jumper inside out and use a low-temperature setting. Iron while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth.
- Avoid Direct Ironing on Logo: Do not iron directly on the embroidered Polo Ralph Lauren pony logo.
