This varies by fabric, but in general we recommend the following. Also, see our full care guide here. —Machine wash on gentle cycle with cold water after every third wear, or if you know you won’t be wearing the garment again in the next two weeks. Hand wash if you prefer, always using a very small amount of mild detergent. —Tumble dry on low or no heat, or lay flat to dry. —Washing and drying on high heat and washing too frequently causes fibers to become brittle and more prone to breakage. —You don’t need to wash after every wear, as machine washing too frequently is hard on clothes and causes them to break down more quickly. However, not washing frequently enough can be just as harmful. Moisture and bacteria from our bodies breaks down and degrades natural fibers if left for a long period of time. Be sure to wash your garments if you know you won’t be wearing again within the next two weeks, and especially before storing away for a season. —If you know a garment got particularly sweaty or dirty during wear, go ahead and wash immediately after. —Avoid wearing the same item multiple days in a row if possible, as giving the fiber time to relax, breathe, and bounce back will improve longevity. —Steam between washes to freshen. —Iron on medium heat or steam to remove wrinkles.
