It is important to always check the washing instructions on the label of your garment.

Please wash your garment inside out. If you’d wish to iron your garment, also turn it inside out. Another way to do it is to put a piece of fabric between the iron and the print, so there is no direct contact between the print and the iron. 

Wash at 30°C whenever possible. For most of our textiles, a low temperature wash of 30°C is sufficient. By washing at 30°C instead of 60°C, you can save over 60% of energy per wash. It also reduces limescale deposits and increases the life of your washing machine. How awesome is that!

Use detergents with an environmental label. Or you could also make your own detergent with natural products. It is actually pretty fun to do, and you know exactly what is in it. 

Choose detergents without bleach or brightener for all colored items.

Go for natural drying. Avoid using the tumble dryer, which is quite energy-intensive and distorts the fibers of the clothes.
