Pressed4Time Tip - Taking Care of Your Sweaters
Contributed by: Scott Randall on 3/30/2008

Sweaters keep us warm when the cold winds blow and help us look stylish.

They may come in a variety of fabrics and styles, but they all need special care:

* If using deodorant, let it dry or set before putting your sweater on to avoid stains.

* When storing a sweater, be sure to fold it (do not hang up or it might stretch). Putting it away damp may cause mildew or mold growth.

* Sweaters made of cashmere, wool and acrylic should be brushed after wearing-use a lint brush or lint roller to remove hairs, dandruff and small pieces of lint.

* Store sweaters in cardboard boxes, not plastic or in plastic sealed boxes. Add cedar (not moth balls) to avoid insect damage

* Follow the manufacturer's instructions when washing your sweater.

- Even if a sweater says it can be machine washed, we recommend that you either put it in a mesh bag or wash it separately, to avoid rips, pilling or shrinkage.

- To hand wash, use cool or lukewarm water and mild soap.

- First, take a large brown paper bag or large piece of paper and trace the outline of the sweater.

- After washing, roll the sweater in a towel to get rid of excess moisture; never wring or twist.

- Then block the sweater, which means laying it flat to dry so it holds it shape and size.

- Lay it out on the paper on a flat surface and pull it into its previous shape and size while it's damp.

- Don't dry near sunlight or any kind of heat source.

Always clean sweaters before storage!
