At Tati, we create high-quality, sustainable clothing designed to last. However, proper care is essential to maintaining the beauty, softness, and durability of our garments. By following these simple yet effective care tips, you can extend the lifespan of your linen and viscose clothing while staying true to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
1. Wash with Care
To preserve the natural fibers of linen and viscose, always opt for gentle washing methods:
- Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage and fiber damage.
- If using a machine, select a delicate cycle and place the clothing in a mesh laundry bag for protection.
- Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent free from harsh chemicals.
2. Avoid Harsh Drying Methods
Excessive heat can weaken the fibers of natural fabrics:
- Air dry your clothing by laying it flat or hanging it in a shaded area.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading.
- Skip the tumble dryer, as high heat can cause shrinkage and fabric wear.
3. Proper Storage Matters
Keeping your Tati garments stored correctly helps retain their shape and softness:
- Fold viscose items neatly to avoid stretching on hangers.
- Hang linen garments on wooden or padded hangers to maintain structure.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and mildew.
4. Ironing and Wrinkle Care
Both linen and viscose can wrinkle easily, but proper care can keep them looking flawless:
- Use a steam iron on a low to medium setting.
- For linen, slightly dampen the fabric before ironing for best results.
- Hang your clothing in a humid space, such as a bathroom after a shower, to naturally reduce wrinkles.
5. Be Mindful of Stains
Accidents happen, but treating stains correctly ensures your Tati garments remain spotless:
- Blot stains immediately with a damp cloth—do not rub!
- Use natural stain removers, such as baking soda or white vinegar, instead of harsh chemicals.
- Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
6. Wear and Rotate
To prevent overuse and excessive wear, rotate your wardrobe frequently. Alternating between different linen and viscose pieces allows each item to retain its quality and longevity.
By following these sustainable care tips, you can keep your Tati clothing looking as beautiful and comfortable as the day you bought it. Taking care of your garments is not just about longevity—it’s a step toward a more eco-conscious and mindful approach to fashion.
