HOW TO MACHINE WASH BIB OVERALLS
Step 1: Preparation
Before washing your Liberty overalls, remove any loose items from the pockets and fasten all buttons and zippers to prevent damage.
Step 2: Sorting
Separate your overalls from other laundry items to prevent color bleeding. Wash them with similar fabrics and colors.
Step 3: Pre-treatment
Pre-treat stains with laundry detergent before washing.
Step 3: Selecting Cycle Settings
Choose a gentle or delicate cycle on your washing machine. Use cold water to preserve color and prevent shrinking. Avoid harsh detergents.
Step 4: Loading
Place your Liberty overalls in the machine, ensuring they have enough space to move freely. Overcrowding can lead to friction and damage. Additionally, check your care label to see if your bibs need to be washed inside out.
Step 5: Adding Detergent
Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount.
Step 6: Washing
Start the machine and let it complete the cycle. Once finished, promptly remove your overalls to prevent wrinkles.
HOW TO HAND WASH BIB OVERALLS
Step 1: Prepare a Basin
Fill a basin or tub with cold water. Avoid hot water, which can cause denim to shrink.
Step 2: Add Mild Detergent
Dissolve a small amount of mild detergent in the water to create a soapy solution.
Step 3: Submerge and Agitate
Check your care label to see if your bibs need to be washed inside out. Place your Liberty overalls in the soapy water and gently agitate them. Use your hands to scrub any soiled areas.
Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly
Empty the soapy water and refill the basin with cold, clean water. Rinse your overalls until all detergent is removed.
HOW TO DRY BIB OVERALLS
Since our overalls are primarily made of cotton, it is essential to use minimal heat during the drying process to prevent shrinkage. Certain bib fabrics such as our duck fabric are more likely to wrinkle. Because of this, the best option is to air dry your overalls, but it is also okay to tumble dry them on low.
Hanging:
If you choose to air dry your overalls, it is best to hang them by the straps or lay them flat on a clean surface. If you tumble dry your overalls, it is recommended to take them out of the dryer right away and hang them.
Ironing:
After your overalls are dry, you may notice some wrinkles. If you choose to iron your overalls, we recommend using medium heat.
Storing:
It is best to store your overalls on a hanger rather than folding them. Be sure to store them in a cool and dry place because heat and humidity can cause natural fibers like cotton to kink. Additionally, avoid storing them in direct sunlight to prevent fading.
