Extend the life of your organic clothing with proper care. Learn Allwear’s best tips for washing, drying, and storing toxin-free fabrics.
Why Care Matters for Organic Clothing
Organic fabrics like cotton, bamboo, and Tencel™ are naturally soft and durable. But because they’re free of harsh chemical finishes, they need thoughtful care to keep their shape and comfort for years. By learning the right habits, you’ll maximize your investment and reduce waste.
Wash Less, Air More
Overwashing is one of the quickest ways to wear out your clothing. Instead of tossing tees or joggers into the laundry after every wear, try air-drying them between uses. Natural fabrics resist odor better than synthetics, meaning they stay fresher longer.
👉 For example, the Tencel™ Modal Tee keeps its softness even with fewer washes.
Wash Cold, Go Gentle
When it’s time to wash:
-
Use cold water – heat weakens fibers over time.
-
Choose gentle detergent – skip harsh chemicals or bleach.
-
Select delicate cycles – especially for lighter pieces like the everyday Bamboo Legging.
This not only extends garment life but also saves energy.
Skip the Dryer (Most of the Time)
Heat is the enemy of natural fibers. Tumble drying may cause shrinking or breakdown. Instead:
-
Air dry flat or hang indoors.
-
For faster results, tumble dry on low sparingly.
The elevated Organic Half-Zip Hoodie maintains its structure best when line dried.
Store with Care
Proper storage protects clothing just as much as washing.
-
Fold heavy knits like hoodies instead of hanging.
-
Keep clothes in breathable garment bags if storing long-term.
-
Avoid overcrowding your closet — fabrics need to breathe.
Repair, Don’t Replace
Small snags or loose seams don’t mean it’s time to toss. A quick repair can add years of wear. Organic fabrics are forgiving and hold stitches well.
The Longevity Advantage
When you take care of toxin-free clothing, you extend its life — making it even more cost-effective and sustainable. Fewer replacements mean less waste and a lighter footprint.
