Laundering and Care of Embroidered Garments

  1. For best results, wash in warm water with a mild detergent
  2. Do not add bleaching agents such as as chlorine, peroxide or sodium carbonate.
  3. Do no line dry.  Garments should be tumble dried at no more than a warm setting.
  4. Never leave damp or whet embroidered articles folded or stuck together.
  5. Never ring out any embroidered articles.
  6. Never leave embroidered articles soaking in water.
  7. TPS uses polyester thread which may be commercially laundered.  If you request a specific rayon thread, do not commercially launder.
  8. If the laundering of a new garment is done in cool or cold water, in rare cases leftover dye particles from the thread may remain on the fabric.  The article is not ruined -- rewash in warm water and the remaining particles will wash out.
