Washing instructions
The life of your clothes is affected by how well you care fo them. If garments are washed as indicated, they will last longer. Always wash dark colours separately and choose a detergent, which does not contain bleaching agents: this not only helps to protect the environment, but is also kinder to clothes. Turn dark-coloured garments inside out before putting them into the washing machine as this will reduce wear to the outside of the garment. All cotton garments should be reshaped while damp and hung up to dry. All of our garments bear clear, easy-to-follow washing instructions using the international symbols found to the right.

An iron means that the garment can be ironed or put through a heated mangle. The small dots in the iron indicate the temperature to be used for the garment. If a garment has a print on it, the print itself should not be ironed, even on the reverse. An iron symbol with a cross through it means that the garment cannot be ironed or put through a heated mangle.

A tub symbol means that the garment can be washed by machine or by hand, and printed inside it is the temperature at which the garment should be washed for the best results. The garment should be washed with a full machine load and will withstand a spin cycle. A tub symbol with a cross through it means that the garment must not be washed in water.

A triangle means that the garment may be bleached (with chlorine). The letters inside the triangle represent the chemical symbol for chlorine. A triangle with a cross through it means that the garment is not suitable for chlorine bleaching.

A circle means that the garment may be dry-cleaned.
The letter inside the circle indicates which solvent should be used. A circle with a cross through it means that the garment is not suitable for dry-cleaning.

A circle enclosed by a box means that the garment may be tumble-dried. Cotton should be tumble-dried at a medium temperature. If the symbol is crossed out, the garment should not be tumble-dried. It should be noted that tumble-drying increases wear and shrinkage to the garment. You can reduce wear to the outer surface of the garment.
