Follow these steps

Separate Colours

Sort your cotton clothes by colour to prevent dye transfer. Wash whites, lights, and darks separately. 

Cold Water 

Use cold water for washing to preserve colour and prevent shrinkage. Hot water can cause cotton to fade and lose its shape. 

Gentle Cycle 

Opt for a gentle cycle on your washing machine. This minimizes stress on the fabric, maintaining its integrity. 

Mild Detergent 

Use a mild detergent to avoid harsh chemicals that can damage cotton fibers. Avoid using detergents and powders that contain enzymes as these may affect the integrity of the metal hardware. Follow the recommended amount for your load size. 

Avoid Overloading 

Don’t overload the washing machine. This ensures proper cleaning and prevents excessive friction between garments.

Skip the Bleach

Avoid using bleach as it can weaken cotton fibers and lead to discoloration. Choose oxygen bleach if necessary for whites.

Inside Out

Turn your cotton clothes inside out before washing. This helps preserve colours and prevents surface abrasion.

Air-Dry or Low Heat

Air-dry your cotton clothes if possible. If using a dryer, choose a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain fabric quality.

Prompt Removal

Remove clothes promptly after washing to prevent wrinkles and maintain the garment's shape.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your cotton clothing looking fresh and vibrant for a longer period.* 

*We acknowledge that our cotton clothes range from sizes 4-30, ensuring a diverse fit for every individual. While we've provided a comprehensive care guide for our cotton garments, we understand that personal experiences may vary.
