With our care tips, we help you to care for your clothes carefully and in a way that conserves resources.
It may sound strange at first, but we recommend washing your clothes less often. In fact, it is often enough to hang your jumpers, blouses or trousers out in the fresh air overnight. Natural materials such as wool, cotton or linen are particularly suitable for this gentle method of cleaning. Smaller stains can also be removed by hand in some cases. This saves water and energy and is gentle on your favourite items.
Your favourite items prefer to dry in the fresh air. This dries your laundry in an environmentally friendly way and keeps it particularly fresh - in both summer and winter. If it's particularly cold, your clothes will even be especially soft and cosy. If drying in the open air is not an option, place the drying rack in a large room and reduce the humidity by airing the room frequently.
Every item of clothing needs to be washed at some point. We recommend that you sort your clothes by colour, but also by material. It is best to close zips, hooks or buttons so that your favourite items survive the wash cycle undamaged. The washing temperature depends on the material, but it is usually sufficient to wash normally soiled clothes at 30 or 40 degrees on the eco programme. If possible, use washing powder with natural ingredients and avoid liquid detergent and fabric softener.
Robust fabrics such as cotton, denim or linen can easily be hung on a hanger in the wardrobe. Elastic fabrics are better stored lying flat as they deform more quickly. Our recommendation: Do not overfill the cupboard, otherwise the fibres may break. You can protect your clothes from moths with lavender sachets or cedar wood - shaking them out occasionally also helps.
Care tips for our materials
It is best to wash your denims only with denim products of the same colour - inside out and without bleach, which is gentle on the outer fibres. The 30-degree eco programme is ideal for this. We recommend drying denims in the fresh air, preferably lying flat.
Linen prefers the gentle or delicate wash programme with a low spin speed. As linen requires a lot of water, only half load the washing drum and use a detergent without bleach. Linen clothing dries very well in the open air - please make sure there is shade.
Garments made from TENCEL™ Lyocell are best washed inside out on a gentle cycle, as a delicate wash or hand wash at a maximum of 30 degrees without bleach. Be careful not to use too much washing powder on dark-coloured fabrics. This can lead to white stripes/stains on the fabric. After washing, it is best to dry your clothes outside on a clothes horse; blouses and tops can be hung on a hanger.
To keep the stitches in shape, air rather than wash. If a wash cycle is necessary, use a washing bag or pillowcase to prevent pilling. Either use the wool wash cycle with mild or wool detergent or wash your knitwear by hand at a maximum of 30 degrees. For optimum drying, it is best to lay your knitwear out on terry towels, for example. Knitwear prefers to be stored horizontally in the wardrobe.
It is best to wash ECOVERO™ viscose clothing inside out and on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees. You should avoid the spin cycle if possible. We recommend that you only fill the washing machine two-thirds full. Garments made from ECOVERO™ viscose should not be tumble dried. You can dry them in the open air. Pull them slightly into shape and hang blouses on a hanger.
