This fine, natural and highly resistant fabric does not lose its shape over time. After washing it at 30°C, do not tumble dry it, but choose to air dry, out of the sun. Iron your linen garments inside out to avoid having marks and false pleats.

This warm, insulating fabric must be given careful treatment. The wash cycle should be short and the temperature should not exceed 30°C, otherwise there’s a risk your garment may shrink. Make sure you use a mild washing detergent so you don't damage the fibres. As wool is delicate, we recommend you use a damp cloth between the the fabric and the iron, set on a low temperature.
Wool sweaters & cardigans: choose to wash them inside out (to avoid pilling), on a temperature that’s not too hot nor too cold, on the delicate programme. Air dry them: don't tumble dry them, which is likely to make them shrink.

Cotton is a natural, resistant fabric. A coloured garment must be washed alone for the first time (at 40°C) so that it doesn't run and colour the others. It then needs to be ironed on a high temperature (between 180°C and 200°C), inside out if the fabric is dark, so that it doesn’t get shiny.
T-shirts: they are often in cotton, and must be machine-washed inside out at 30°C, then hung up by the hem, at the seams (to avoid making marks and them losing shape). Don't let them near the tumble dryer! Printed T-shirts must be ironed inside out.

Like cotton, viscose is breathable and soft, but delicate: this is why it is preferable to wash it by hand in cold water; or machine wash it on the delicate cycle at 30°C max. It must then be ironed damp on a low temperature for the best results. Be careful not to pull damp viscose however, as it might rip.

Polyester is a resistant fibre that almost never creases. It’s not very breathable, so it retains odours, meaning it needs to be washed more often (at 40°C maximum with other synthetic fabrics, or by hand for those who have the energy!). As it’s pretty elastic and dries very fast, it doesn't usually need to be ironed (or on a low temperature, on the back of the fabric; at 150°C, if it’s a blend).

Nylon is more resistant than polyester and is a stretchy fabric that can be machine-washed but on a low temperature. It’s non-absorbent and dries very fast, but it mustn’t be ironed or it risks melting!

Velvet can be machine- or hand-washed (inside out and less than 30°C). After having quickly taken it out of the machine, lay it out flat or on a coat hanger, in a cool place so that it keeps its brightness. Once it is dry, use a hot steam iron to get creases out of the fabric.

Acrylic can be machine- or hand-washed in warm water (40°C). Little tip: add fabric conditioner when washing to keep static electricity at bay. Once it has been washed, running it through the spin cycle is not recommended as it damages the fibres: press it in a towel instead to absorb water, and hang it out, damp, to air-dry it (and even flat for sweaters). As for delicate fabrics, acrylic clothes must be ironed inside out and the iron (not on the steam setting) should not be too hot.

Wash jeans as little as possible, the fabric is damaged each time it is washed. Choose to wash them on a low temperature not using much washing detergent. Then hang your jeans out inside out to air-dry.

Use a cotton bud to test a stain remover (preferably eco-friendly) on part of the leather that can’t be seen to be sure that it won't leave a mark. If the stain remover changes your garment’s colour, it is not suitable for it! Then soak a cotton or white cloth in some of this stain remover and dab it very gently on the area to be cleaned, without rubbing it.
Be careful as the method isn't the same for nubuck or suede! In this case you need a soft brush, a special nubuck or suede cleaning spray as well as a cleaning rubber. You have to gently brush the area to clean after applying the spray. The rubber will be used for finishing and more stubborn stains.
To care for leather and keep it shiny every day, we recommend you use a colourless wax or cleaning milk regularly!

The most well-known tip is to start dabbing the stain with a clean cloth or piece of kitchen roll to dry it, then to quickly rinse it in cold water.
You can also try the technique with a tablespoonful of (eco-friendly) liquid washing detergent or washing up liquid in a container of cold water to pour on the stain. Leave the garment for an hour then machine wash it on the delicate cycle at 30°C.
We don't recommend using the well-known trick of using salt, as this risks making the stain set in and even more difficult to get out!

To get rid of a grass stain, you can soak it in cold water then use a toothbrush to rub on eco-friendly stain remover or white vinegar.
If a grass stain on a light-coloured garment is still there, you can try another method: use toothpaste and a bleaching agent then leave it on the stain for an hour. Finish by rinsing it in warm water.

Before putting anything on the stain, make sure you use a clean cloth or absorbent paper towel to blot the grease and oil to absorb it. Then you can use a tablespoonful of liquid detergent or washing up liquid in hot water to wash the stain before machine-washing it. You can also use bicarbonate of soda if the stain is still there.

The first thing to do is to use make-up remover to try to get rid of the stain, as a wipe or a milk/lotion. It the stain is still there, there’s the shaving gel / cream trick! Leave it on the stain for 5 min before rubbing it, then rinse with water.

The best trick for getting rid of a blood stain is to soak it in cold water for an hour, then wring it out before machine-washing the garment on a programme at 30°C. You should never use hot water on it as it risks making the stain set in and even more difficult to clean!
