The Drycleaning & Laundry Institute issued
a warning for this Liquid blazer.
This
white soft-napped coat has black trim made from a blend of
polyester/rayon/spandex. The care label recommends dry cleaning.
When
this ladies coat is dry cleaned, a component of the dye in the black bleeds out
and self-stains the white base fabric. This creates objectionable discoloration
in the areas adjacent t o the black trim, as well as areas that the black trim
contacts during the agitation in dry cleaning.
Dye
bleeding of this type can occur in the first dry cleaning process, or be
progressive over several cleanings.
ZIPS Tip: Black and white mix or color block
garments have increased in popularity over the last few years. Many garments
are durable to recommended care procedures. Others are not durable and can
cause discoloration on the garment, or other garments cleaned in the same load.
Since 1972 the Federal government has required
all manufacturers to provide at least one safe cleaning method. Since this white
jacket with black trim was unable to withstand the manufacturers’ recommended
cleaning method the garment is defective and should be returned to the store or
manufacturer.
DLI also pointed out that Liquid is not knowingly or continually producing defective goods. While this white coat with black trim is defective, that does not mean any other garments from Liquid are defective.
