Proper care of cotton

We recommend washing at 30 degrees Celsius so that the clothes do not shrink and the prints are preserved, which are water-based with GOTS certified products. Nevertheless, it is normal for cotton to shrink by up to 5% the first time it is washed. The products can be put in the dryer. However, they should be air-dried on the clothesline. It is better for the environment and clothes are not stressed. Rotating in the dryer exposes the clothing to friction and therefore they can pill more easily.

Cotton fleece feels very fluffy before the first wash. Unfortunately, this effect becomes less after the first wash. Cotton fleece does not have the characteristics of synthetic fleece. After the first wash, it becomes a bit more compact and develops a slightly pilled structure on the surface. It is important that cotton fleece is not washed with fabric softeners or wool detergents. The fats contained would agglutinate the cotton fibres.

Some of our cotton products have a water-repellent impregnation (Bionic Finish Eco). With this impregnation, water that hits clothing from above rolls off. With permanent contact with water e.g. when sitting in wet grass, however, the water would run through. This would require waterproof clothing. The Bionic Finish Eco impregnation does not have to be renewed. It lasts a product life. It likes warmth. So the dryer doesn't harm. But we still recommend drying on the clothesline.

Proper care of wool

To maintain the quality of the wool, it is important to wash it as infrequently as possible. Wool has self-cleaning properties, so it is often sufficient to air the garment.

If cleaning is necessary, you should use a hand wash or a wool wash cycle in the machine with cold water. It is important to use a special wool detergent without enzymes so as not to damage the natural fibres. It is important that the wool is not spun. Any external action (including rubbing, rubbing, wringing or brushing when hand washing) would cause the wool to become matted. In the wool wash programme, the wool is only swung in the water but not spun.

When washing by hand, you should rinse the wool after washing with clear water at the same temperature so that it does not shrink. Carefully squeeze out the water and pull the product into shape when wet.

Please do not dry woollen products in the sun, on the radiator or even in the tumble dryer, but on a terry towel in well-ventilated shade.

Pilling, i.e. the formation of small nodules on the surface, is a natural phenomenon in wool fleece caused by friction. This is normal for wool fleece and does not impair the function of the material. To preserve the appearance and functionality of the material, you can carefully remove the nodules with a wool comb or a special lint shaver. It is important to proceed carefully so as not to damage the fibres. Regular care and avoiding excessive stress, such as rubbing or frequent washing, will help to minimise pilling and prolong the life of the wool fleece.
