Bleach-Proof Salon Apparel Guide: Capes, Aprons, Robes and Towels
Share
Bleach splatter is the fastest way to ruin salon apparel. DuraSilk pieces are built to resist bleach and stains in daily salon use. Here is what is available and how to keep it looking new.
What the labels mean
DuraSilk describes its core line as bleach resistant and uses bleach-proof on the 2FACED and Mirrored by Marquie pieces. DuraColour™ fabrics (used on the Signature Robe and the towels) are bleach and stain resistant and designed to hold their color wash after wash.

Care tips that protect the fabric
- Wash cool or warm on a gentle cycle; tie all waist ties in a double bow before washing.
- Hang to dry or tumble on a cool/low setting. High heat can melt the material or a printed logo.
- Do not iron and do not bleach in the wash. Bleach resistance is for splatter during services.
