Wash and care
Malo garments made of sustainable cotton are elegant and comfortable, designed to last over time. Their care is essential for the cotton to withstand the passage of years. If done correctly, each wash will make the fabrics softer and maintain vibrant colors.
- It is important to choose a quality laundry detergent with a balanced pH and use only half the amount you would normally use. Make sure the detergent used is bleach-free, as bleach damages natural cotton fibers.
- Avoid using fabric softeners as aggressive chemicals damage natural fibers. Makò cotton garments will naturally become softer with each wash.
- Set the washing machine program to a cold and gentle wash. Cold water prevents shrinking, and a low and gentle spin speed will maintain the integrity of the fabric.
- Hang garments as soon as they are washed on a dry towel or hang them outdoors.
- Makò cotton garments should be ironed when they are still slightly damp. It is important to keep the iron temperature very low to avoid burning the natural cotton fibers.
