Cleaning winter accessories, such as gloves,
hats, and scarves
Remember last spring when you bagged your
hats, gloves, and scarves and put them in the back of your closet? Well, now
it's time to get them out and ready for another winter. If inspection shows
they were put away in a soiled condition, now is the time to clean them.
If care labels are present, follow
instructions carefully. Many synthetics, as well as cottons and wools, are hand
or machine washable. If tumble drying is recommended, use a low temperature
setting.
Wool, fur, and leather accessories may
require our assistance. These materials require special cleaning and finishing
procedures. Any known stains should be pointed out when you leave them with us.
Most items will clean beautifully, but accessories, particularly gloves, are
exposed to many staining substances that cannot be removed.
