Can I wash my coat?
The simplest and most reliable way to refresh clothes is to give it to professionals. If for some reason you decide to do it on your own, you need to do everything very carefully. First, read on the label, can you even wash your coat at all. Some products can have glued inserts, which when washed will deteriorate. These things need only be cleaned with a soft brush. Never wash a coat of cashmere or wool. These materials will necessarily shrink and the thing will lose its appearance, and the lining can "climb out" at all. If you bought a coat of drape, you can "agree" with him.
How to wash a draped coat?
Before you wash your coat, carefully study the labels. For a product with glued inserts, only cleaning with a soft sponge is allowed. To do this, prepare a soapy solution, but not too concentrated (there may be stains on clothes). Apply the solution on the coat with a soft sponge and leave for a while. Then just brush it with a soft brush. At the end, wipe with a damp cloth to remove the remnants of soap.
If there are no glued seams and the manufacturer allows the washing of the coat, you can proceed to more radical methods. Clean only by hand, as washing the draping coat in the typewriter manufacturers do not recommend. Wash only with delicate powders. Type in the bathroom cool water and dilute it with a little powder, it is better to use gels for washing. Dip the coat into the solution and leave it for a few minutes. Then gently clean the clothes with a soft sponge or brush. Rinse your coat in clean water and hang on your hangers. Be sure to spread out all the folds and dry in a well-ventilated room. It is best to hang out on a balcony or loggia near an open window, then there will be a constant flow of air and the coat will not get an unpleasant smell. If everything is done correctly, the coat will retain its original appearance and not fade.
