Care Guide

You spoke and we listened. Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand how important it is to keep your favorite garments looking their best. To maintain the beauty of your clothing, we’ve put together some simple care instructions below. Many organic cotton shirts can be easily cared for, allowing you to enjoy them for years to come.

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your garments stay fresh and vibrant:

WASHING:  Always wash your organic cotton garments in cold water. This helps to preserve the colors and prevent any shrinkage. If possible, use a gentle cycle to minimize wear and tear on the fabric.

DETERGENT:  Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Harsh chemicals can damage the fibers and affect the quality of your clothing over time. A gentle detergent will keep your garments looking new while being gentle on the environment.

DRYING:  Whenever possible, air dry your garments. Hanging them up to dry not only saves energy but also helps maintain their shape and fit. If you must use a dryer, choose a low heat setting to prevent any potential shrinkage.

IRONING:  If your garment needs a little touch-up, iron it on a low/cooler setting while it’s still slightly damp as the moisture helps relax the fabric fibers. This will also help to smooth out any wrinkles without damaging the fabric and achieve a crisp finish look. Always check the care label for specific instructions regarding ironing.

PROPER STORAGE:  To keep your garments in top condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging heavy items on thin straps to prevent stretching. Instead, fold heavier garments to maintain their shape.

By following these simple care instructions, you can help ensure that your organic cotton garments remain beautiful and comfortable for a long time. Thank you for being a part of the Oatmeal Apparel Co. family and for choosing sustainable fashion!
