Whats the best way to care for my new pulpit robe?
After each wearing, hang your robe on our contoured Robe Hanger #122 to maintain the shape of the robe yoke. This inexpensive accessory can really help keep your robe looking good. Wire hangers can cause fold or crease lines to form on the shoulders after a few years. It’s also best to zip the robe, or fasten the hook and eye closure, to keep it properly aligned on the hanger. Allow time for any residual body heat or moisture to dissipate before storing in a closet. The importance of regular cleaning by a reputable professional dry cleaner cannot be overemphasized, particularly on white or very light colored robes. Don’t wait until there is heavy soiling around the neckline or inside the cuffs. A good dry cleaner can help keep your robe looking like new for years. Beware of “bargain” cleaners, however. Dirty or discolored cleaning solutions, or improper pressing and handling techniques on velvet panels can destroy the appearance of your robe.
