Take care.

Give your Roake pieces a little love and they’ll send it right back at you. Read through our easy care guide below for some top tips on caring for your pieces:

Brass:

Brass is a beautiful material, and given some TLC, it can last forever. Brass naturally tarnishes in contact with oxygen, so it will need a polish regularly if you wish to keep that golden sheen. Some people love the duller, matt look though, each to their own!

1. Keep your brass accessories looking wonderful, keep them away from water, cleaning products and strong detergents. Spots and droplets will remain unless wiped down and dried immediately.

2. Use a little fresh lemon juice, a teaspoon of baking soda and a scrap of old, soft cloth. Mix the lemon juice and baking soda into a paste and apply in small pea-sized amounts to your brass piece. Wipe off with the cloth and give it a good rub down to bring it up shiny!

3. When you’re not wearing your brass pieces, keep them in a bag or box, where the air can’t get to them!

Garments:

Our clothing is made from natural materials and therefore needs gentle treatment, without the use of chemicals and extreme heat.

1. Wash on a cool temperature and hanging your garment to dry.

2. Avoid any stain removing agents, and hot irons.

3. Whenever possible, use natural cleaning products. We recommend mangle and wringer’s laundry powder. It’s reasonably priced, 100% natural, and suitable for hand washing and machine washing, https://www.mangleandwringer.co.uk/shop/pure-laundry-powder/

4. Store your garments on hangers and if you need to iron them, use a cool setting.

5. Wash your garments with similar colours to avoid colour running.

6. The best thing you can do for your garments is avoid washing them too often. Hang your garments out to air regularly, to avoid over washing.
