How to wash organic cotton?

The quick answer for washing organic cotton clothing: Wash with like colors, turn your clothes inside out, machine wash cold, and hang dry.

By adhering to these organic cotton care instructions, you can extend the life of your organic cotton clothing, all while enjoying the comfortable fit and sustainable luxury they offer. Remember, caring for your clothing properly means they'll continue to provide you with superior comfort and sustainable style for years to come.

Let's break it down further:

1: Wash with like colors

When washing your Setcomforts or any organic cotton clothing, always group similar colors together. This helps maintain the vibrant color of your clothing, preventing any color bleed from affecting lighter shades.

2: Turn inside out to wash

Always turn your organic cotton clothing inside out before washing. This technique protects the color and fabric integrity, maintaining your organic cotton clothings look and feel for longer.

3: Machine wash on cold

Use the cold setting on your washing machine when washing organic cotton clothing. Washing organic cotton in cold water not only maintains the color but also prevents the fabric from shrinking. Additionally, it is a more eco-friendly choice, contributing to our shared sustainability values.

4: Hang dry

Instead of using a dryer, hang organic cotton clothing to dry. Air drying is the best way to maintain the shape and quality of organic cotton garments. It's also another way to reinforce your commitment to energy-saving practices. Hang your clothes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for the best results.

Setcomforts pre-shrunk organic cotton clothing

While our Setcomforts organic cotton clothing is pre-shrunk to ensure a consistent, comfortable fit, it's important to note that machine drying can cause the cotton fibers to tighten, making the clothing feel as though it has shrunk. This is a natural characteristic of organic cotton and does not indicate a defect in the fabric or construction. The good news is, as you wear the garment, the cotton fibers will naturally loosen and return to their original form, restoring the comfortable fit you love. Therefore, to avoid this temporary tightening, we strongly recommend hang drying your Setcomforts garments after washing. Following these care instructions will help maintain the optimal fit and comfort of your Setcomforts clothing.
