Washing Instructions for SIXO FOR GARMENTS WITHOUT SEQUIN TRIM,
OR SPARKLE VELVET:

For Sensitive Colors:
Garments containing sensitive colors (light or dark) require the following washing instructions in order to prevent bleeding. Prior to washing and drying, turn garment inside out. Machine wash separately in a large amount of cold water on gentle cycle. Remove immediately from washer. Tumble dry on low heat and remove from dryer. Do not bleach, nor lay flat to dry.

All Other Garments:
Prior to washing and dying, turn garment inside out. Machine wash on gentle cycle, with lots of cold water (mild liquid detergents recommended). Tumble dry on low heat, avoid over-drying, and remove from dryer immediately. Do not bleach, nor lay flat to dry.

FOR GARMENTS WITH SPARKLE VELVET, BUT WITH NO SEQUIN TRIM:

Please Note:
Garments with metallic fabric may dull with repeated wear and washing. Due to the sensitive nature of these fabrics, these garments require the following washing instructions.

Prior to washing, turn garment inside out! Machine was separately in cold water using gentle cycle, or hand wash. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents. Remove immediately. Dry on low or no heat setting, and avoid over-drying. Do not lay garments with sensitive colors flat to dry.

FOR GARMENTS WITH SEQUIN TRIM:

Dresses with sequin trim are extremely sensitive by nature, and should be handled with extra care as should any delicate article of clothing. Spot Washing: This is recommended for small stains. Rub lightly with warm water and mild detergent, rinse thoroughly. And pat dry (do not wring dry). Do not let water run to trimmed areas as sequin trim will bleed. Complete Wash: If you wish to wash a sequin trimmed garment, it is recommended that you remove all the sequin trim before washing, and reapply after drying. Do not dry clean!

HELPFUL HINTS ON CARING FOR YOUR SIXO GARMENT:

• Dresses with light or sensitive colors should be handled with extra care. To avoid permanent staining of white or light colors, products such as ScotchGard can be used (following manufacturer's instructions). SIXO Activewear would not recommend treating the whole garment, only those area that may be difficult to keep clean (for example; panty, skirt, bias edging, and collars).
• Damp garments should be hung to dry! Do not place a damp garment in an athletic bag until completely dry. If the garment is folded over onto itself and left for long periods of time, colors may transfer.
• Steaming is the best way to bring your garment back to its original look. The steam must be applied directly to the garment, working with the nap of the fabric. Be sure that the garment is completely dry before storage.
• Avoid abrasive surfaces that may cause snagging and premature damage. If your garment fits too tightly, fiber breakage may result. Be kind to your garment, as you would to any other delicate article of clothing
