There may be a 1cm – 2cm variance in product size because a person might measure the product differently while wearing it.

For example, if the material is flexible, like elastic fabrics or knit materials, the product size may be slightly smaller because the material will be stretched when it is being measured.
 
Also, for products like pants, shorts or pencil skirts, measurements may be obtained by measuring hip circumference at the lower thigh or at the middle thigh.

These varying methods of measurement may produce a difference between the stated product measurements and your expected product measurements. Please note when ordering relevant products.

Bleach helps remove stains and restore brightness and whiteness to fabrics.  Chlorine bleach is appropriate for white and colourfast items.  It should not be used, however, on items with spandex, wool, silk, or specialty fibers like mohair, angora, and cashmere. If you are not sure whether a fabric is colourfast, it is best to use non-chlorine (oxygen) bleach, which is generally safe for all fabrics.  Many detergents now come with colour-safe bleach.

Fabric softeners soften clothing, reduce static cling and wrinkling, and add a pleasant scent.  Liquid softeners, however, should be used sparingly.  Overuse can cause discolouration and reduce fabric absorbency.

Drying: As with washing, keep different fabrics in separate loads and do not overload the machine.  Shake out items before placing in dryer for reduced wrinkling.  Make sure to follow the recommended drying instructions on the clothing labels.  Fabrics with low moisture absorbency, such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester, should be dried at a low heat setting.  Drying for too long or at overly high temperatures can cause shrinkage.
