Ensure the skirt is washed according to the care label instructions. For best results, hang to dry and iron on a low heat setting if needed, paying attention to the pleat lines.
Stains are difficult to remove.
While the fabric is stain-resistant, persistent stains may require pre-treatment. Apply a mild stain remover before washing, following the product's instructions. Note that stain resistance is most effective on black and navy variants.
