Embroidery Care

 

   When washing your embroidered garment, be aware that the care instructions printed on the garment label do not include the embroidered design.  Special care should be taken in washing embroidered items to protect the stitching from fraying.  It is best to set your machine to gentle cycle and wash in cold water.  If you must use bleach, be sure that it does not contain chlorine.  Dry embroidered items on a low-heat setting.

   Please check the garment tag of the embroidered item for instructions on ironing that specific fabric. The embroidery itself can be ironed, but it must be ironed inside out.  It is best when ironing embroidery to use a pressing cloth in between the item and the iron to further protect the design.


   Embroidered items may be dry cleaned; however, it is recommended to avoid the use of pre-spotting agents.

Rhinestone Apparel  Care  Instructions 

 

   Elegant Treasures creates a variety of designs in both rhinesone and rhinestud apparel and accessories. It is possible to wash these items in the washing machine, however it is best to hand wash them in a mild detergent.  

 Washing rhinestone and rhinestud apparel items in the washing machine and drying them in the dryer can cause the stones to fall off and/or dull the stones by creating small cracks in them.  

      To preserve the design, rinse the item in warm water with a small amount of mild detergent. Then place in the washing machine on gentle cycle, spin only setting.  This will wring out the water without damaging the fabric. Hang the item to dry after.
