Show some love to your luxury clothing. It deserves your utmost attention and respect. Every garment is a work of art, handcrafted with precision, using delicate fabrics such as silk, chiffon, or organza. Even small mistakes in care can undo hours of meticulous work. Many designer garments are limited editions. More than its style, it carries significant cultural and emotional value.
Laundry errors silently damage these treasures. Wrong approaches, from improper washing to harsh chemicals, can ruin your investment.
Knowing these pitfalls can help you save your garments from damage if you are in Mumbai and cherish your premium wardrobe.
Ignoring Care Labels
Did you know that understanding care labels is the key to preserving luxury garments?
According to the International Fabricare Institute, around 45% of garment damage is due to incorrect or ignored care instructions (InfoHouse, 1988).
The care label on every luxury garment comes for a reason. Ignoring it can shrink, fade, or damage delicate fabrics.
At Bianca Cloth Spa, we always start by carefully reading each label. It helps us design a cleaning plan that keeps your garments safe and looking their best.
Care labels are your wardrobe’s guide. If you’re ever unsure, rely on professionals who know how to interpret them correctly.

Overloading the Machine
Overfilling the washing machine may seem efficient, but luxury garments need space. Overloading increases friction and causes embroidery, sequins, and fine weaves to wear out faster.
At Bianca Cloth Spa, we clean each piece separately to avoid this damage. The right space keeps your garments safe. Give your clothes room to move. Less is more when it comes to machine washing.
Using Harsh Detergents
A 2024 study on organic cotton fabrics showed that harsh detergents speed up colour fading, especially under high heat or hard water. We see the same effect on silks and satins brought to us after home washes. Once dulled, luxury fabrics rarely regain their shine.
- Detergent Type: The study didn’t specify a percentage increase in fading due to harsh detergents. But its highlight is that certain detergents can accelerate colour fading in delicate fabrics.
- Water Hardness and Temperature: The research indicated that water hardness and washing temperature significantly influence colour changes. Hard water and higher temperatures exacerbated fading, especially in naturally colored organic cotton fabrics.
Regular detergents contain strong chemicals. These strip the natural fibres of their shine. Wool, silk, and satin lose their elegance when exposed to them. Gentle cleaning agents, used in the right amount, make all the difference. Once dulled, fabric rarely regains its finish.
Bianca’s advanced processes use mild, fabric-safe solutions. We know gentle care protects luxury.
Delaying Laundry Too Long
Laundry mistakes don’t end with cleaning. Improper storage continues to cause damage. Storage is the next step in preserving luxury garments.
When you store clothes in plastic or damp places, they trap moisture.
It can attract fungus and bread insects, which damage the fabric. It can also lead to yellow stains and odour. Silk and organza need breathable storage.
We pack the garments for you and provide safe storage solutions. Protect fabric and increase its life with proper storage.
Poor Storage After Wash
If the garment is left unattended for more than 48 hours, the success of the cleaning process goes down by 50%.
Sweat, perfume, and dust leave residues that worsen with time. Luxury clothing left unwashed develops deep stains. Late washing allows them to dry, making stain removal more risky and harder.
