Product Care

What's the best way to wash Dusty Wattle clothing to keep it in top condition ?

To keep your Dusty Wattle clothing in top condition, we recommend the following washing guidelines:

Check the Care Label: Always start by reading the care label on your garment for specific washing instructions. Different fabric types have different care instructions.

Gentle Cycle: Wash your items on a gentle cycle in cold water to prevent fading and shrinkage.

Eco Detergent: Use eco detergent that is suitable for cotton fabric to help maintain the quality of the material.

Inside Out: Turn your garments inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and prints.

Avoid Fabric Softeners: Skip fabric softeners, as they can break down the fibers over time.

Air Dry: Whenever possible, air dry your clothing by laying it flat or hanging it up. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you must use a dryer, choose a low heat setting.

By following these care tips, you can help ensure that your Dusty Wattle pieces remain vibrant and long-lasting.

What is the best way to care for my earrings ?

To keep your earrings looking their best and prolong their lifespan, follow these care tips:

Store Properly: Keep your earrings in a dry, cool place, ideally in a jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling. Avoid leaving them out in direct sunlight or damp areas.

Clean Regularly: Gently clean your earrings with a soft cloth after wearing them to remove oils, dirt, and makeup. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, but be cautious with any embellishments or sensitive materials.

Avoid Chemicals: Keep your earrings away from harsh chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can damage the finish or materials.

Take Care with Water: Remove your earrings before swimming, showering, or exercising to prevent exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or excessive sweat.

Check Fastenings: Regularly check the backs and fastenings to ensure they are secure. If you notice any signs of wear, replace them to avoid losing your earrings.
