Check out our simple care recommendations below to help extend the life of your garment and reduce their carbon footprint:

1. Wash Less: The sun is amazing! Airing your clothes in the sunlight after wearing kills bacteria and freshens them up so you can do less frequent washing. You can also spot-treat stains quickly to avoid full washes.

2. Fill the Washing Machine: Aim to wash full loads of laundry to maximise water and energy efficiency – careful not to overfill though as this can wear the garments out.

3. Read Care Labels: Follow garment-specific care instructions which can be found on the labels to ensure you’re caring for your apparel’s unique needs.

4. Cool Wash: Most detergents these days are highly effective in cold water which means you can use low temperatures when laundering which not only protects your garments from wear but saves energy too. Bonus: Use an eco friendly detergent to further reduce your environmental impact!

5. Avoid the Dryer: Line drying your clothes is another great way to reduce energy use and prevent wear.

6. Sort Laundry: Separate clothes by color and fabric type, and close buttons and zippers to avoid damage and maintain the shape of your clothing.

7. Skip Dry Cleaning: Avoid traditional dry cleaning due to its environmental impact.

8.Reduce Microplastics: Use a specialised washing bag for synthetic fabrics to catch microplastics and prevent them from entering waterways.

9. Dispose Responsibly: Compost natural fiber garments when they’re worn out, and repurpose synthetic ones for other uses.
