Additional Shipping Charges

Cleaning
DRY CLEANING IS NOT RECOMMENDED on our polyester or acrylic fabrics.  We recommend that no harsh detergents, fabric softeners or bleach be used.  Polyester garments should be washed separately in a full tub of warm water.  Remove the garment promptly from the washer once the cycle is completed & hang the garment to dry.
