At SABA, we believe that proper care is the key to preserving the quality and longevity of your capsule wardrobe. By following a few simple guidelines, you can ensure that your polyester and viscose pieces remain in excellent condition, season after season.
Many of our premium workwear silhouettes feature blends of polyester and viscose, chosen for their exceptional durability, sustainability, and distinctive qualities. To help you maintain these fabrics, we’ve curated this concise yet comprehensive care guide.
How to Care for Polyester
Washing: Wash polyester garments at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Excessive heat can cause irreversible wrinkles and weaken the fabric over time.
Static: Polyester may generate static electricity, causing garments to cling to the skin. To reduce static, add fabric softener during the wash cycle.
Drying: Polyester dries quickly, so after washing, gently press the fabric with a towel to remove excess moisture, then hang or lay flat to air dry. Avoid wringing the fabric, as this can distort its shape.
Ironing: Polyester is naturally crease-resistant. However, if wrinkles persist, iron on the lowest heat setting. We recommend placing a cloth between the fabric and iron to prevent heat damage.
How to Care for Viscose
Washing: Wash viscose garments inside out on a delicate, cold cycle (30°C) to preserve their texture and shape. Avoid soaking, as this can distort the fabric.
Drying: For optimal results, always hang viscose pieces to air dry. Avoid tumble drying or exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause shrinkage or misshaping.
Ironing: Iron viscose garments inside out on the lowest heat setting to protect the fabric’s smooth finish. Use steam to help release any remaining wrinkles gently.
By investing in the proper care of your SABA pieces, you ensure that they continue to deliver the sophistication, comfort, and durability you expect—wear after wear, year after year.
