We recommend a cold wash on a gentle cycle using natural detergent and hang drying for a lot of our products. A colder wash saves electricity, the gentle cycle wears the fabric down less, natural detergent (especially with neutral PH) can retain the color and elastane for longer and hang drying is easier on the clothing and the environment. Hand washing is always a good option too. If you are not separating delicates, use a laundry bag to protect the fabric from getting damaged. Look for a dense fabric for the laundry bag.

To reduce washes, we recommend airing or freezing your garments and spot cleaning whenever you have a stain. Airing helps in getting rid of the odor and you can do this by leaving your clothing outside overnight. Freezing gets rid of smell, mildew, and moths and is effective when done for 6-12 hours.

Avoid using fabric softeners on natural and delicate fabrics, as they can coat the fibers, lessening the natural absorbency and breathability of the material, wear them down or damage the surface by creating pilling.

Hard water can cause stiffness, dullness and fading of colors. It can also cause light streaks on darker colored clothing. You can use vinegar to soften water. Some washing machines also have a setting for applying the right amount of detergent for the level of water hardness. 

The clothes can shrink about 5-7% in the wash.  

We recommend washing at a maximum of 30°C and a gentle cycle, as heat and friction wear the fabric down. Underwear, bedding and towels can be washed at 40°C or above. Use a laundry bag to protect delicates like underwear. The gentle cycle helps reduce creases and friction. Lightly pull/stretch the garment to straighten it before hanging it to dry. Remove stains when you get them, as cotton absorbs stains more than synthetic fabrics. Avoid bleach, which can discolor the fabric. Avoid fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers, lessening the natural absorbency and breathability. 

We recommend hand washing at a low temperature, maximum 30°C, but if you machine wash, always put your garment in a washing bag to prevent damage and use a delicate cycle. High heat and friction cause damage to this delicate fabric and lead to pilling on jerseys. Turn garments inside out to reduce friction on the surface. Use a pH-neutral laundry detergent. ​​Remove stains when you get them, but do not use bleach. To reduce washes, you can use a delicate fabric refreshing spray or steam. Lightly pull/stretch the garment to straighten it before hanging it to dry. Do not tumble dry, as this causes shrinking and discoloration of the fabric. 

Wash your silk as little as possible; it can be enough to wash silk only a few times a year, as it’s self-cleaning. To reduce washes, you can air out your garment, steam, hang it up while showering or use a delicate fabric refreshing spray. Remove stains right away by spot cleaning. Handwashing is recommended. Silk is a delicate fabric, so to maintain its original luster, color and avoid signs of wear, choose dry cleaning. If you choose to machine wash, wash at a maximum of 30°C on a hand wash program with a spin cycle of no more than 800 revolutions per minute. Use a laundry bag to protect the fabric from damage and fill the laundry bag no more than halfway. Wash silk with other delicate fabrics and turn inside out to reduce friction on the surface. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric. Use enzyme-free, pH-neutral laundry detergent. Enzymes in regular detergents break down protein-based fibers like silk. Hang dry, silk cannot stand tumble drying.  

We recommend washing at a maximum of 30°C and a gentle cycle, as heat and friction wear the fabric down. The gentle cycle also helps reduce creases. Wash with other delicate fabrics to avoid friction. Turn colored garments inside out to preserve the color. Avoid fabric softener, as this can hinder the natural properties of the fabric, and linen naturally gets softer over time. ​​Remove stains as soon as you get them, as linen absorbs stains more than synthetic fabrics. Don’t use bleach as it can damage the fabric and leave a spot, even if the fabric is white. Hang dry to avoid shrinking. Lightly pull/stretch the garment to straighten it before hanging it to dry. The fabric will be stiff after drying but will soften up over time. You can also steam or iron to soften the fabric. 

Wool doesn’t need to be washed often because it’s naturally stain, odour and crease resistant. To reduce washes, you can air your garment out, steam, hang it up while showering, use a delicate fabric refreshing spray or brush it. Spot clean stains immediately when they appear, because stains can be hard to get off after a while. Handwashing is preferable. If you prefer, you can also wash wool on a delicate or wool wash program. To protect the surface of the fabric, use a washing bag and turn the garment inside out. Use enzyme-free, pH-neutral laundry detergent. Enzymes in regular detergents break down protein-based fibers like wool. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric. Dry your knitted wool flat; it might stretch if hung. Knits should be stored folded, as hanging knitwear can change the shape. Put cedar wood or lavender in your drawers and make sure your knitwear is clean when you store it to avoid moths.
