VIZEAU.COM'S CARE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE LONGEVIY OF YOUR GARMENT, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Since LYCRA is the minority component in our fabrics, let the other fibers guide your care instructions. If other fibers or the trim or binding of a garment require special handling, their needs will determine the care instructions. LYCRA will easily withstand repeated cleaning of all these types. When in doubt, wash or dry clean according to the primary fiber in the blend.

No Chlorine Bleach

To improve the life and look of garments with LYCRA, the only thing that should be avoided is chlorine bleach.

All-fabric bleach can be used for laundering of garments with LYCRA. It is particularly useful in preventing any graying of the fabric caused by absorption of soils and detergents.

Laundering

Machine washing and tumble drying are the preferred manner of laundering.

If the other fibers in the garment are machine washable and dryable, this should be the recommended method for cleaning. The heat generated by machine drying will help recover any lost stretch that occurred during the wearing of a garment. Thorough washing, rinsing and drying in machines brings out the best in LYCRA.

Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning LYCRA is no problem. Although some solvents may temporarily swell the fiber, proper rinsing provided by a professional dry cleaner recovers all stretch and recovery properties of the garment. LYCRA does retain the odor of dry cleaning solutions a little longer than most fibers, but it will quickly disappear with a little airing. This is recommended in shirts, where there are two contrasting colours tht may bleed.

Cleaning Common Fiber Blends

Most fiber combinations with LYCRA can be cleaned by following simple guidelines for each.

Cotton

Cotton plus LYCRA garments should be hand or machine washed, and tumble or hand dried.

Fuzz Control and Special Precautions

STAY AWAY FROM VELCRO. If some fuzz develops on the surface of the fabric, sometimes passing a razor flat over it may solve your issue temporarily, but for prevention measures, stay away from rough surfaces that may have splinters or other abrasives.
