Care Guide
Taking care of your garments is essential to extending their lifespan. We take responsibility and pride in the garments we create, and this guide will help you care for them in a sustainable and enjoyable way, ensuring they can be cherished for generations.
Basics of Garment Care
- Wash your clothes sparingly. Frequent washing can damage garments and impact the environment. Air out, shake, or steam your clothes to refresh them instead of washing.
- Spot-clean stains immediately to reduce the need for full washes.
- When washing, sort by color and fabric type. Avoid fabric softeners and dry your clothes naturally instead of using a dryer.
Material-Specific Care
- Cotton: Wash at low temperatures (30°C or cold) to prevent shrinkage. Avoid tumble drying. Steam or iron on low-medium heat. Spot-treat stains as needed.
- Linen: Follow care labels. Air-dry flat or on a wide hanger. Iron while damp for a crisp look or embrace linen's natural texture.
- Wool: Air out, steam, or use a clothing brush. Wash only when necessary and follow care labels. Dry flat. Some pieces may require professional cleaning.
- Silk: Prefer airing and steaming over washing. Consult care labels and consider professional cleaning for delicate pieces.
Stain Removal Tips
- Treat stains immediately, as natural materials absorb quickly.
- Use cold water for stains like coffee, blood, grass, or wine. Use warm water for greasy stains.
- Choose gentle detergents and avoid bleach or harsh removers. Repeat the process if necessary or seek professional help for severe stains.
Storage Tips
- Hang sturdy fabrics: Use hangers for shirts and pants, fasten zippers and buttons to maintain shape.
- Fold stretchy fabrics: Store knitwear and t-shirts flat to prevent stretching. Avoid overstacking to reduce wrinkles.
- Protect against moths: Keep clothes clean and dry. Use cedar or lavender for protection. Occasionally shake out garments to discourage moths.
- Seasonal storage: Store clean, dry garments in boxes in a cool, dry place. Add cedar or lavender to prevent damage.
