CARING FOR YOUR ORGANIC COTTON

We want your Ivy everyday essentials to become part of your long-lasting, sustainable wardrobe so hope this guide helps you to understand how best to care for them.

Wash Gently:

Using a non-biological, mild and gentle detergent, wash your t's inside out on a gentle, 30 degree cycle and with similar colours. 

Avoid using softeners as they can damage the fabric - our organic cotton is soft enough. 

If you have so many Breton's that you can fill a whole load, why not do a Breton wash to keep them all together?

Rack or Line Dry:

Take your clothes out of the washing machine as soon as possible once the cycle has finished and gently re-shape whilst damp.

Line or rack dry your staples or dry them in an airing cupboard - never tumble dry them because it can damage the fabrics fibres and age your garments, as well as using a huge amount of energy.

Ironing:

If you dry your garments as guided above, minimal ironing should be required. However when you do iron them, use a warm temperature and iron on the reverse.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place - ideally folded in a drawer. If you do hang them, be sure to use only wooden or velvet hangers (just be aware that hanging can cause misshapen shoulders).
