Special Notes
• Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle to minimize stretching and shrinkage
- • Tumble dry on low heat — remove promptly to prevent wrinkles setting in
- • Iron on medium heat with steam if needed, but jersey's knit structure is fairly wrinkle-resistant
- • Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching — especially for heavier jersey garments
- • Avoid bleach; use color-safe alternatives for stain treatment
- • Store folded in drawers; jersey recovers its shape well after gentle washing
