How do I clean my cosplay costume?

   

Generally speaking, all cosplay costumes should be washed with great care. Most of the costumes in Cosplay Shopper are washing machine-friendly. It is in the discretion of the costumer/cosplayer whether or not to use hand wash or use a machine, since both options are great for that matter. However, in choosing to use a washing machine, the gentle mode would be preferred to avoid damage to the cloth, texture and design of the cosplay costume. Also, keep the water temperature under 104°F (40°C ). As an added tip, always use a color-safe laundry soap brand which would be gentle to fabrics. Using a cloth fabric bag with the wash machine can protect the costumes as well. With regard to costumes made of special materials or detailed with too many accessories, these can be cleaned by using a soft cloth or towel by dipping water instead of using the washing machine or vigorously hand washing the costume which might cause damage to such details and accessories.

   

How can I cancel my order?

Why is there no cancellation once the order is processed?
