FAQ INTERVIEW GUIDE
Long-term preservation of your clothes can be achieved by adopting a few simple, more environmentally-friendly habits. Here are a few tips for you:
LOW-TEMPERATURE WASHING
Wash at low temperatures to reduce energy consumption. Excessive heat can accelerate the degradation of textile fibers and fade colors. We recommend washing at between 20 and 30 degrees maximum, and spinning at between 400 and 800 rpm.
HAND WASH
Wash delicate items by hand whenever possible, as this reduces fabric abrasion compared with machine washing. Use a mild product such as Marseille soap to minimize the proliferation of chemicals in the water.
TURN CLOTHES INSIDE OUT BEFORE WASHING
This simple gesture prevents the various patterns and details on the front of your garments from deteriorating. At the same time, it prevents garment fading and minimizes pilling of knits, for example.
COMPLETE MACHINE LOADING
Wait until you have a full load of laundry before running your washing machine. This maximizes energy efficiency and reduces the total number of wash cycles. Nevertheless, we advise you not to exceed a load of ⅔ of your machine's capacity, as overloading the drum can exacerbate friction between garments.
USING A WASH BAG
For synthetic garments likely to release plastic microfibers, you can use a mesh wash bag to collect these particles and prevent them from entering sewage and oceans. What's more, this reduces the friction between materials, helping to prolong the life of the garment.
AIR-DRYING
Avoid using a tumble dryer whenever possible. Hanging your clothes to dry in the open air is one way to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of your pieces over time.
IRON SPARINGLY
Avoid excessive ironing, as heat can affect the very structure of the fibers. Instead, use a steamer to minimize the direct impact of heat on the material.
By adopting certain practices that are accessible to you, you can help preserve the durability of your garments while minimizing the environmental impact associated with their care. For our part, it goes without saying that ecological responsibility isn't just your responsibility. We're committed to promoting the use of eco-responsible materials, including recycled fibers, to minimize our footprint.
