Proper care of cotton

We recommend washing at 30 degrees Celsius to prevent shrinkage and preserve the water-based prints on GOTS-certified products. However, it's normal for cotton to shrink by up to 5% the first time you wash it. These products can be tumble dried. However, they're best left to air dry on a clothesline. This is better for the environment and less damaging to the clothes. Rotating in the dryer exposes the clothes to external stresses, making them more likely to pill. Cotton fleece feels particularly fluffy before the first wash. Unfortunately, this effect diminishes somewhat after the first wash.

Cotton fleece doesn't have the properties of synthetic fleece. It becomes somewhat more compact after the first wash and develops a slightly slubby texture on the surface. It's important not to wash cotton fleece with fabric softeners or wool detergents. The fats they contain would further clump the cotton fibers together.

Some of our cotton products have a water-repellent finish (Bionic Finish Eco). With this finish, water that hits the garment from above beads up and rolls off. However, with prolonged contact with water, such as when sitting on wet grass, the water would seep through. Waterproof clothing would be required for this. The Bionic Finish Eco finish does not need to be renewed. It lasts the lifetime of the product. It likes warmth, so the dryer won't harm it. However, we still recommend line drying.


Proper care of wool


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

If cleaning is necessary, you should hand wash or machine wash wool in cold water. It is crucial to use a special wool detergent without enzymes to avoid damaging the natural fibers. It is important that the wool is not spun. Any external influence (including rubbing, scrubbing, wringing, or brushing when handwashing) would cause the wool to felt. In the wool wash program, the wool is only swirled in water but not spun.

When handwashing, rinse the wool after washing with clean water at the same temperature to prevent shrinkage. Gently squeeze out the water and pull the product into shape while wet.

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

Pilling, the formation of small balls on the surface of wool fleece, is a natural phenomenon caused by friction. This is normal for wool fleece and does not affect the material's functionality. To preserve the material's appearance and functionality, the balls can be carefully removed with a wool comb or a special lint shaver. It is important to proceed gently so as not to damage the fibers. Regular care and avoiding excessive stress, such as harsh rubbing or frequent washing, will help minimize pilling and extend the lifespan of the wool fleece.
