Care Instructions (100% Cotton): To maintain the quality, color, and fit of your Stradivarius Basic strappy top, follow these guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C/86°F) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Turning the garment inside out before washing can help preserve the color.
Bleaching: Do not bleach. Chlorine bleach can damage cotton fibers and cause discoloration.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry by laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger to prevent stretching and maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting (up to 150°C/300°F) if needed. Iron inside out to protect the fabric surface. Do not iron directly on any printed labels or embellishments, if present.
Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean, as the chemicals used can be harsh on cotton.
Storage: Fold and store flat in a drawer or on a shelf to prevent stretching of the straps.
