It is recommended that laundries\u00a0do the following tests after receiving clothes and before washing, to determine the\u00a0suitable washing method.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash Fastness Test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dampen a cotton swab with clean water\u00a0\u2192\u00a0rub it repeatedly 5\u201310 times on the surface of the leather trim\u00a0\u2192\u00a0observe the color transfer on the swab<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Slight<\/p>\n<p>It is washable.
