We hope you love your new purchase from Basic Truth The Label. To make the most of your printed garments, we wanted to share some best practices when it comes to washing and taking care of your items.
Like all precious things, conscious use and appropriate care play a valuable role in the longevity of the item. Treat your new threads with love, and they'll love you right back, for a long time.
DO
- Cold machine-wash on a delicate setting
- Wash inside-out with similar colours
- Hand to air-dry out of direct sunlight
DON'T
- Don't iron over the print (only on the reverse if you must)
- Don't tumble-dry
- Don't dry-clean
- Don't use harsh chemicals like bleach or softeners
All fabric ages over time, that's a given. Exposure to the sun, heat, chemicals and physical activity all age the garment and the print. But with the right care, you can ensure an item serves you very well over the course of its lifetime. Cold-wash inside-out, and then hang garments straight onto a coat-hanger, dries ready-to-wear—no need to iron.
