INDUSTRIAL WASHING RECOMMENDATIONS

Indutrial washing

• Do not apply bleaching and chemicals with optical brighteners on coloured products. Effective chemicals incl. chlorine, disinfectants, lye and optical brighteners can reduce lifetime and influence quality/appearance of fabrics and accessories.

• The indicated type and dosage from the supplier of chemicals must be followed closely.

• Textiles should always be sorted/washed according to type and colour.

• All garments should be washed at least once before taken into use. This is important due to inevitable shrinkage (also for "pre-shrunk" products). Also to minimize possible surplus fibres/fuzzing from fleece and sweat products which are brushed inside, which disappears after 2-5 washes.

• Wash the garments with the inside out and close zippers and velcro.

• Avoid "over drying". Choose the correct drying temperature according to the fibre type of the garment. Remember that polyester and TENCEL™ Lyocell dries faster than cotton, e.g. fleece and other products.  

• Steamer (tunnel) drying may influence fit/shape and shrinkage pattern. Carry out own test to clarify possible effects from the drying method. Steam must be added to avoid “over drying.”

How to extend the durability of logos

• It is important to choose logo quality and type (print/transfer, embroidery) considering the use and washing/drying method of the garment.

• The wash instruction in the carelabel on the clothes also applies for the logo.

• Chemicals can affect the logo in wash.

• Logos/transfers should only be ironed on the inside.
