Check the care label:
Always refer to the care label attached to the garment for specific washing instructions. The care label usually provides information on the appropriate washing method.
Machine or hand wash:
If the care label allows machine washing, use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water. For hand washing, fill a basin with water and a mild detergent.
Drying:
Air-drying is usually the safest method for second-hand clothing. Hang the garments on a clothesline or lay them flat on a clean, dry surface. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause fading. For certain garments, like knits, you may consider using a towel or drying rack to maintain their shape.
