Wash Care Instructions

WASH CARE INSTRUCTIONS

CAN I MACHINE WASH MY ORGANIC COTTON?

You can machine wash your cotton. We recommend washing it on a lower heat, around 30°C or colder on a delicate cycle or even hand-washing with a mild biodegradable detergent. This reduces potential shrinkage or fading and damage to the fibres. It should be laid out and flattened to dry, as to minimise deep creases for later on in the ironing process. The best part about washing organic cotton is how it gradually softens over time and becomes more breathable with each wash. Pre-washing your garment may be beneficial, to wash away any chemicals that have come into contact with the garment. Reshape while damp after washing to help maintain It’s shape. Always wash with similar colours. Always wash with similar colours. Do not use bleach

DO I NEED TO USE FABRIC SOFTENER ON MY ORGANIC COTTON?

No, we do not recommend using fabric softener on organic cotton. Our organic cotton is long-staple cotton, which is essentially cotton fibres with a length of 2 inches or longer. This is the finest and highest quality cotton, as it produces yarn which is durable and softer, resulting in a silkier texture. Fabric softener would compromise this quality as it clogs the fibres and yarn. 

CAN I DRY-CLEAN MY ORGANIC COTTON T-SHIRTS?

We do not recommend dry cleaning and the use of harsh cleaning chemicals. We recommend using a home wash or laundrette as standard.Dry-cleaning tends to use higher temperatures, which compromises the colour integrity of the organic dyes used, as well as causing shrinkage. It is not best practice to use warm or high heat to wash organic fabrics.

HOW SHOULD I DRY MY ORGANIC COTTON T-SHIRTS?

To avoid any potential shrinkage, we recommend skipping the tumble dryer and opting for air-drying instead. Hang your garment straight from the washing machine or laid out flat to dry, to minimise creases. We do not recommend tumble drying as it can compromise the structure of the fibres and weaken them, causing the yarn to break which can lead to further damage. 

CAN I IRON MY ORGANIC COTTON T-SHIRTS?

Use Low to Medium heat iron . Turn garment inside out on the wrong side or with a pressing cloth to prevent scorching for best results.
