Wasnt sure where to put this so i thought here is a better place then any...
Right i bought some really nice tops in florida and it says on them machine wash cold only - i really dont want to shrink then.So help please,how do you wash them in the machine cold? My machine doesnt say cold wash on it so is there say a temp on there that is cold or am i being completley dim?


Before someone says it - no i havent got the manuel for the machine lol

i have got i dial on mine that i can put it down to cool but if you have not got the manual you can get manuals for everything off the net, thats what one of my mates does, or you could hand wash them just in case thats what i do with niakks barcelona kit as it scares me to put it in the machine!!!!

The other to not do is tumble dry the top aswell as that can cause major shrinkage, or like Willow says, hand wash (but i wouldn't - I'm not a handwashing kind of person :rotfl: )

Chance a suggestion,,,,,,,, wash the tops out by hand in cold water in the sink,, then rinse them out in cold water,, roll them up in a thick towel and hang to dry.. I know American fabrics LOL
