Pretreat
Treat stains with Stain Solution or the Wash & Stain Bar. Focus on susceptible areas such as the pockets and pant hem.
Stain Solution is ideal for protein and tannin stains, such as wine, coffee, ink, grass, urine, blood, and old, set-in stains such as pit stains.
The Wash & Stain Bar works the material to remove dirt, grease, oil, and makeup.
To remove odor, presoak the item for 30 minutes in hot water mixed with ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar.
Machine Wash
Prepare to wash by turning the item inside out. Wash with Signature Detergent on the normal cycle with hot water to achieve the deepest clean.
Dry & Finish
Cotton chinos can withstand tumble drying with high heat. To ease ironing, remove from the dryer while still damp or line dry.
To remove wrinkles, iron on the highest temperature setting, or steam.
For a crisp finish and added wrinkle and stain resistance, spray with Stiffen Up when ironing.
To freshen between launderings, spritz with Fabric Fresh Classic.
Store
Chinos can be hung to prevent wrinkles, or folded (which may leave fold marks).
Always store items clean. We recommend storing in a breathable cotton Storage Bag to protect items from bugs.
Storing in plastic encourages yellowing and can trap mildew-causing moisture, a prime environment for bugs.
All techniques are based on textile science. Not all garments perform and react as science would predict.
