GENERAL WASH & CARE ADVICE

Care for your clothes, care for the planet

Check the Label First

Always start by checking the care label. You’ll find it printed inside every garment, on our product pages, and soon even on the packaging itself.

Wash Less, Wear More

Wash your clothes only when they truly need it. Too much machine washing isn’t kind to the environment — or your energy bill. Instead, air out garments between uses or spot-clean dirty areas with warm water and mild soap.

Choose Cold & Kind Cycles

If you do machine wash, choose cold water or 30°C, which uses less energy than 40°C. Always wash with similar colors and use a detergent suited to the fabric — ideally one that’s non-toxic and biodegradable.

Skip the Softener, Skip the Dryer

Fabric softener can impair performance features such as moisture-wicking. Tumble drying risks shrinking and damaging fibers. Hang your clothes to dry naturally for the best results.

Protect Against Microplastics

To prevent microplastic pollution, place synthetic garments in a filter bag before washing. This not only reduces the release of microplastics into the water system but also helps protect delicate fabrics from snagging or twisting.

CARE & REPAIR FOR YOUR MERINO WOOL

Extend the life of your merino, lower your impact

Wash Less, Refresh More

Merino naturally resists odor, so it doesn’t need constant washing. Often, simply airing it out is enough to make it feel new again. Washing less saves water and energy — and helps your product last longer.

Go Gentle When Washing

When it’s time to wash, choose a gentle, cold cycle and use a mild wool detergent. Skip fabric softener, which damages the fibers, and always lay flat to dry instead of tumble drying. This protects your gear and reduces environmental impact.

Store Smartly

Fold your merino pieces rather than hanging them to keep their shape. Store them clean and dry, and consider using natural moth repellents like cedar wood. Proper storage means fewer replacements and less waste.

Repair, Don’t Replace

Even the toughest products may show signs of wear. But small holes are easy to repair with a simple stitch or patch. Choosing to repair instead of replace gives your merino many more years of life and keeps textiles out of landfills.
