Washing Guide

The label and the washing symbols

Airing
After wearing your clothes, hang them up on a clothes hanger to air, preferably near an open window or outdoors. Any smells will soon disappear and your clothes will smell fresh again. A good option is to hang up the clothes (in a dry spot) in the bathroom when showering (gives a steaming effect).

Hand washing
When washing by hand, make sure your clothes aren’t left to soak, as the (luxury) fibres will lose their elasticity. When hand washing, make sure you rinse out all soap residue from your clothing. A temperature of maximum 30 degrees (lukewarm) is warm enough to wash and freshen up your clothing.

Machine washing
If you opt to machine wash your clothing, stick to the following rules where possible: it’s best to wash at low temperatures with a small amount of good detergent, because clothes otherwise wear much more quickly. A washing bag gives your clothes extra protection.

Tumble dryer (at your own risk)

The tumble dryer is a disaster for fine wash and luxurious items of clothing, they are more likely to shrink and wear out when dried in a tumble dryer. Dry your luxurious items with care, preferably flat or on a clothes hanger.

Cashmere
In order to avoid damage to these very fine knits, we advise you to take special care when wearing jewellery and other accessories (belts, for example). Read the washing instructions carefully to enjoy your cashmere clothes for as long as possible. Always air your clothes after wearing, and store flat in the cupboard (do not hang them up). Check the washing symbols in the clothing and work as follows:

Swimwear

Do not wash swimwear in the washing machine, always rinse the garment with a lot of water to rinse out all the bleach and sand

If you wish use a littlebit soap but not too much, but preferably only use water

Dry flat

Hand wash
Use special cashmere shampoo or a small amount of pure (baby shampoo) soap. Use cold or lukewarm water for washing, rinse all soap residue out well and press out any excess water. Do not wring. Also iron carefully, only use the steam option, lay a (tea)towel on top of the article and iron on top of that.

Pilling
Pilling can occur when clothing is worn or washed. The woollier, hairier or more voluminous the fabric or knit, the greater the risk of pilling. This has nothing to do with bad quality but rather with the properties of the fabric or knit, and it is therefore an inevitable property of woollens. Due to the woolly, voluminous effect of yarn from which sweaters are knitted, they will generally pill somewhat, especially at those places where two layers rub when worn. This can generally be solved by using a (battery operated) pilling device or a pilling comb. If you can remove the fluff balls using such a device or comb, it cannot actually officially be termed pilling. True pilling is when hard balls are formed on the fabric which cannot be removed, which is a problem only encountered in fabrics containing polyester/viscose.

Tips to keep pilling to a minimum
- Always check the washing label in the clothing.
- Use the wool wash programme when washing by machine; use a washing bag to offer extra protection.
- Never wash the clothing together with sharp objects such as zips or buckles.
- When washing by hand, use lukewarm water no hotter than 30°, use a special wool detergent  and dry flat in the case of cashmere.
- Dry the clothing flat where possible; never use a tumble dryer.
- Iron on a low heat if necessary, without steam.
