Andre also shared her insights about the trend of higher-end designers going more main-stream today and the importance of raising consumer awareness on proper care of these items. "An influx of off-price online shopping has given consumers instant access to more high-end designers than ever before. The problem is that many consumers are buying these types of clothes for the first time without the fabric care knowledge that often comes from purchasing them directly from upscale retailers and designers.
Tommy Bahamas silk shirts and cotton polo shirts, for instance, have become increasingly popular spring and summer staples. These shirts require proper cleaning, care and storage; the manufacturer recommends dry cleaning to preserve these $100-plus shirts.
The fiber content and construction of your clothing determine various characteristics of the material including stability, strength, stain absorbency and clean-ability," said Chris Allsbrooks, FabriCare Foundation Spokesperson and Textile Analyst for the International Fabricare Institute.
The mission of the FabriCare Foundation is to lead the growth and future of the dry cleaning industry and its professionals through public relations, research and education.
