Troubleshooting

Gold hardware has lost its shine.

Polish the hardware gently with a soft, dry cloth specifically designed for metal. Avoid chemical cleaners.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you used a mild detergent and did not use fabric softener, which can sometimes affect modal blends. Re-wash with a gentle cycle if necessary.
