Proper washing and drying help preserve your clothes' colour, shape and soft feel. This guide walks you through the most important steps and helps you get to know the fabrics your clothes are made from.
The label provides washing, drying and ironing instructions for that specific product. If the general advice in this guide differs from the care label, always follow the instructions on the label.
The temperatures and spin settings mentioned below are not automatically suitable for every garment.
A few simple actions before washing can go a long way towards caring for your clothes.
From sorting to drying, here are the key things to remember.
1. Sort by colour
Dye from darker garments may transfer to lighter items, so separate your clothes by colour before washing.
2. Take extra care with multicoloured and patterned items
Don't automatically sort a white-and-navy striped top with either whites or darks. It's best to wash multicoloured items separately, using a delicate cycle or a programme suitable for coloured laundry.
Only choose a 30 °C wash if the care label allows it. Avoid detergents containing bleach, as they can fade the dark sections and discolour the lighter ones.
A useful tip: A colour catcher sheet traps loose dye particles in the wash water and may help reduce unwanted colour transfer.
3. Wash new coloured clothes separately at first
New garments can release dye during their first few washes. Wash them separately the first few times so the loose dye does not stain other clothes.
You can also test for colour bleeding by soaking the garment in cold water for a few minutes, provided this does not conflict with its care instructions. If the water changes colour, the garment is releasing dye and should continue to be washed separately.
4. Choose the right detergent
Match your detergent to the garment's colour and care instructions.
Only use bleach on completely white, plain-coloured garments, and only if the care label permits it. Coloured decorations or prints can be damaged even on white clothes.
Don't use too much detergent or fabric softener, either. More product does not mean a better wash and can leave residue on the fabric.
5. Avoid washing at a higher temperature than necessary
For many cotton T-shirts and polo shirts, a 30 °C wash may be enough for everyday cleaning, provided the care label allows it.
Water that is too hot may weaken the fabric, fade colours and increase dye release. Always choose the temperature according to the instructions for the particular garment.
6. Use a gentle spin setting
An excessively high spin speed can cause severe creasing, stretching and premature wear.
As a general guideline, 800 rpm may be suitable, or 600 rpm for more delicate items – but only if the garment's care instructions allow spinning and the chosen setting. These speeds are not appropriate for every fabric.
7. Protect colours and shape while drying
Don't dry dark clothes in direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade their colour. High-temperature drying can also be hard on colours.
If the care label permits it, choose air-drying in the shade. Items with collars are generally better dried on hangers, while knitwear and jackets should be dried flat, always following the instructions for the specific product.
Only use a tumble dryer if the product's care label allows it.
INDIGO
Natural colour changes are part of its character
Indigo is a blue dye often used to colour jeans. Indigo-dyed clothing may naturally fade and show signs of wear with use and washing.
Wash inside out, separately from other colours, and always follow the care instructions on the label.
The colour may transfer during wear, too. It can leave marks on light-coloured clothes, furniture or car upholstery, so take extra care around these surfaces.
EASY CARE
Easier care, fewer creases
The Easy Care label refers to a fabric designed to be easy to look after, resist creasing and dry quickly.
After washing, gently smooth the garment back into shape and, if the care label permits, hang it on a hanger. This may reduce the need for ironing, and for some items, eliminate it altogether.
The benefits of an easy-care finish may diminish after repeated washing. An Easy Care label does not replace the garment's care instructions.
What do terms like Premium Cotton, Sherpa and Water Repellent actually mean? This glossary will help you understand the descriptions on our products.
A fabric name alone is not a washing instruction. Always choose the wash cycle, temperature, drying and ironing method according to the finished garment's care label.
Natural and cellulose-based fibres
Cotton: A natural plant fibre obtained from the cotton plant. Soft, breathable and absorbent, it feels comfortable for everyday wear. It can be long-lasting when cared for properly.
Premium Cotton: A fabric made using Compact Yarn cotton yarn. The specially processed yarn creates a smoother, more pleasant surface, reduces pilling and helps the garment hold its shape.
Wool: A natural animal fibre, most commonly obtained from sheep. It provides good insulation, breathability and elasticity, making it a popular choice for cooler-weather clothing.
Cashmere: A natural fibre taken from the fine undercoat of cashmere goats. It is exceptionally soft, lightweight and warm.
Viscose: A man-made fibre derived from plant cellulose, sometimes called “artificial silk”. Its smooth feel, subtle sheen and breathability make it comfortable to wear.
Modal: A man-made, cellulose-based fibre that is a further development of viscose. It is valued for its softness, comfort, absorbency and good colour retention.
Synthetic and stretch fibres
Polyester: A synthetic fibre known for durability, abrasion resistance and its ability to retain its shape. It creases less easily and dries quickly because it absorbs little moisture.
Recycled Polyester – Recycled PES: A fabric made from previously used polyester or polyester recovered from other sources. The label provides information about the origin of the raw material.
Nylon: A lightweight synthetic material with a smooth, silky surface. It is strong and abrasion-resistant, absorbs little moisture and therefore dries quickly.
Elastane: A stretch synthetic fibre commonly blended with other materials, such as cotton or polyester. It helps clothes fit comfortably, allows freedom of movement and contributes to shape retention.
Stretch and 4 Way Stretch: Stretch refers to elasticity that makes clothing more comfortable. 4 Way Stretch means the fabric stretches in four directions, allowing greater freedom of movement during activity.
Acrylic: A soft, lightweight synthetic fibre with good insulating properties, often used as an alternative to wool. It is found in jumpers, hats and scarves; it dries quickly and does not crease easily.
Soft textures and special fabric constructions
Sherpa: A soft fleece fabric designed to resemble wool. Although it looks woolly, it is usually made of polyester.
Bouclé Fleece – Bouclé / Bouckle Fleece: Fleece with a looped, curly texture reminiscent of sheep's wool. It is soft, lightweight yet warm, dries quickly and resists creasing.
Fake Memory / Memory Look: A fabric with a coated reverse side, usually made of polyester or a polyester blend. Its subtle sheen, smooth surface and structured shape make it a popular choice for winter clothing.
Metallic Fabric – Metallic: A shiny textile with a metallic finish created by a coating or woven-in metallic fibres. Its standout feature is its eye-catching sheen.
Double-Layer Fabric – Double Sided Fabric: A material made from two bonded fabric layers, which may have different surfaces. The layers can provide extra warmth, structure and some resistance to wind penetration.
Brushed-Back Fabric – Inside Brushed Fleece: A knitted fabric with a smooth outer surface and a softly brushed inner surface. The soft inner layer traps air, helping retain warmth and providing a comfortable feel.
Technical features and performance labels
Water Repellent: A finish or fabric construction designed to help water droplets bead up and roll off the surface. It offers a degree of protection against water.
Heat Reflective Lining: A shiny or metallised layer that reflects some of the body's radiant heat back towards the body, helping retain warmth.
Performance: A label for clothing designed for active movement. Features may include thermal fabric that retains body heat while wicking moisture, four-way stretch and practical zipped pockets. Check the individual product description for its specific features.
Ergonomic Back System: A backpack design that follows the shape of the body. Padded shoulder straps and back panels provide comfort, while mesh fabric helps improve ventilation.
Can I wash all my clothes at 30 °C?
Not necessarily. A 30 °C wash may be suitable for many everyday items, but the washing method and maximum permitted temperature are always determined by the product's care label.
How do I know if wool, cashmere or technical clothing can go in the washing machine?
The fabric name alone will not tell you. Check the care label sewn into the garment to find out which cleaning methods are permitted for that particular product.
Can I use bleach on a white top with a coloured print?
Do not use bleach on clothing with coloured prints or decorations, as it may damage the coloured areas. Bleach should only be considered for completely white, plain-coloured garments, and only when the care label permits it.
How should I iron my clothes?
Always choose the ironing method and temperature according to the care label. Always iron clothes inside out! For Easy Care garments, gently reshaping after washing and drying as instructed may reduce the need for ironing.
Sort your clothes thoughtfully, wash them gently and dry them properly – this can help them keep the colour, shape and comfort you loved about them for longer.
This guide provides general information. The care instructions on the label of the specific product always take precedence.
