Additional Care Tips

  • • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle or permanent press cycle
  • • Tumble dry on low heat — Supplex dries quickly; remove promptly to prevent wrinkles
  • • No ironing needed — Supplex is engineered to resist wrinkles and hold its shape
  • • Avoid fabric softener — it reduces the cotton-like hand feel that makes Supplex special
  • • Avoid bleach; Supplex retains color well and does not need harsh treatments
  • • Store folded or hung; Supplex is very low-maintenance and resists pilling
