Care Guide
- Let it air out, preferably outdoors, if not dirty;
- Wash inside out in cold water (max. 30°) with soft fabrics on the delicate cycle with full load (to prevent friction between fabrics and reduce the release of microplastics);
- Use an appropriate bag to collect the microplastics released by the synthetic fibres;
- Dry inside out;
- Do not use a dryer;
- Do not wash with rough fabrics (e.g., denim);
- Do not wash with dark-colored clothes;
- Avoid ironing, or if necessary, use a low heat setting.
Following these instructions will help the clothing last much longer and maintain its integrity, in addition to being environmentally friendly practices.
