CARE

HANDWASHING

You've just finished your work. To care for it, wash by hand and spin between 2 towels to remove excess moisture, then leave to air dry.

MACHINE WASHING

When machine-washing, it's best to use a washing bag to avoid deforming the mesh or breaking the textile fibers. We recommend the GUPPYFRIEND® bag, a patented solution that filters the microfibers released by garments during washing.
