OUR GARMENTS CARE TIPS
We believe that taking good care of our clothes is the most sustainable option. Check our general garments care guide
TAKING CARE OF OUR FABRICS - TIP 1
USE COLD
WATER
Hot water cycles use 75% more energy and are more like to break down dyes and cause shrinkage.
You are saving money and extending the durability of your clothes.
Side tip: in case you want to use hot water for antibacterial purposes, add ½ a cup of white vinegar with 20 to 25 drops of tea tree oil can be just as effective

WASH LESS
It’s one of the easiest ways to start.
Many times you can skip a cycle just by airing out your clothes.
You can then accumulate more clothes and fill your washing machine, making your energy & water consumption more efficient

Hang your clothes in a rack and remember to hang delicate and colored clothes inside out, so they don’t bleach from the sun

STEAMING
OVER IRONING
If needed, we recommend steaming over ironing, as it's gentler to the fabric fibers.
Most garments don't need ironing if you wash on a lower cycle and gently shake or stretch them when they come out of the washing machine and hang the garment to dry.

STAINS
If you get a stain on your garment, treat the spot immediately.
Natural materials such as cotton, linen and wool generally absorb a lot which means that the longer you wait, the harder it gets to eliminate the stain.
