GIVE YOUR NZA CLOTHES A BIT EXTRA CARE

• Wash in cold water, it helps retain the garment’s colour

• Wash less, it helps to prevent the fabric and it’s better for the environment.

• Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold

• Use padded hangers for delicate items and fold heavier garments like sweaters to avoid stretching

• Air drying helps to prevent shrinkage, maintain their shape, and save energy.
