Do not bleach, and when washing please avoid conventional detergents because in general they contain microplastics and toxic substances that endangerous aquatic systems and can produce some damages to our health. Instead, choose pH neutral soaps, eco-friendly detergents aswell concentrated ones as they are better in any case. Choosing a detergent with an European EU Ecolabel Certification, is always a good way to respect the environment and protect overall wellness of our body, and our clothes. An example is ECOX that produces effective and responsible cleaning products that, if you haven’t tried yet, it’s time to take this important step.

When some dirt produces a more evident stain, try to wash it as soon as possible, without rubbing the area that has been soiled. Instead, apply a little mild detergent to the stain and let the garment soak in warm water, resting for a while. Then, move the piece gently, to help the particles to be removed from the fabric structure.
It is true that dry cleaning is an efficient process to remove dirty stains from clothing. But we ask you to avoid it, because generally, most companies still uses tetrachlorethylene, a toxic chemical dangerous for the environment and our health. As such, we not even tested dry clean on our garments! However, if you ever have to choose dry cleaning, ask for companies that use innocuos processes for the environment and for health ans for example liquid carbon dioxide.
Last but not least, if you want to have an absolut proactive ecological awareness when washing your garments especially those containing polyester and other non-biodegradable synthetics, we recommend the use of microplastic collector bags that prevent water and ocean pollution, such as the amazing SKIZO Bags. With an high efficiency (about 98%) of particle retention, SKIZO Bags are produced from plastic waste collected in the ocean!, each SKIZO Laundry Bag is equivalent to 10 Plastic Bottles and 1Kg of discarded fishing nets, an amazing win-win and pionner solution.
