– Where possible, choose to air your garments outside on a drying rack to freshen, away from direct sunlight. This is kinder for both
your garment and the environment. Leaving your clothes out to air can have them smelling fresh in a short amount of time.
– Use a quality, gentle laundry detergent for your items when washing. For merino pieces, ensure you use an approved wool detergent.
– Wash your items at a low water temperature.
– Iron only when necessary, on the reverse side is best.
– Choose your dry cleaner carefully – look for eco or green credentials in their products and practices.
– If by chance you lose a button, you’ll find a spare on the care label x
Linen

rub, soak or tumble dry. Line dry in shade. Warm iron on the reverse if required. Drycleanable.
It’s recommended to iron while the garment is still slightly damp for best results, rather than when bone dry.
Hanging your shirts on a rounded clothes hanger is a good way to avoid peg marks.

adds to the garments original beauty.

Cold hand or machine wash on a delicate or wool cycle separately, using an approved wool detergent. Do not use bleach, softener
or soak items. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat in shade. Gently pull the garment back into shape when damp if required. Cool iron on

The best way to dry your merino garments is to lay them flat on top of a towel, on an airing rack.

a shake and leave in the breeze to naturally breathe.
