Maintain
Protecting our planet is a commitment to all of us. When it comes to textiles, we each have a role to play at our level. With this little guide to caring for our clothes, we want to help you extend their lifespan, make them more durable and contribute to reducing greenhouse gases every year.
- Wash less
Frequent washing wastes energy and harms our waters. If possible, wash once a week after training, otherwise air your clothes and remove stains by hand.
- Do not tumble dry
Mechanical forces inside a tumble dryer are one of the main culprits of microplastic pollution. Synthetic clothes dry very quickly anyway, so air dry your clothes instead.
- Wash at low temperatures
Wash your clothes at 40°C. In the vast majority of cases, 30°C is enough. So, avoid high temperatures and thus protect the fibers of your clothes and nature.
- Buy quality and better
What do you really need? ? When buying clothes, make sure they are good quality and will last a long time. Take care of your clothes, if you no longer wear them, donate them or make sure they are recycled. Every purchase has an impact on the ocean.
- Wash for less time
The longer you wash, the more the fibers break. All washing machines have a quick cycle wash program.
Use it !
- Reduce the spin speed
The spin cycle generates a lot of friction. Synthetic fabrics dry quickly.
Avoid the spin cycle in the machine or reduce the number of revolutions per minute.
- Separate the colors
Avoid mixing colors in your clothes, this will extend the life of your outfits.
