Why naturally dyed textiles?

Naturally dyed textiles are not only beautiful and unique, but also environmentally friendly and safe for the whole family. The natural dyeing methods reduce the chemical burden on the environment and are gentler on sensitive skin. Even though they cannot be washed as hot as conventional textiles, they still offer many advantages that are worth considering. With the right care, the color intensity will last for a long time and you will support a sustainable lifestyle at the same time.

Wash

  • Temperature: Naturally dyed textiles should be washed at 30°C to 40°C, as modern detergents and machines effectively remove bacteria and germs even at low temperatures. Regular washing and airing is enough to remove mites and protect the colors.
  • Frequency: Cotton is very absorbent – ​​wash once a week.
  • Load: Always wash full loads to save water and energy.
  • Cleaning: Use mild, environmentally friendly detergents without bleach or fabric softeners. These can damage the fibers and cause the colors to fade.
  • Care label: Always follow the specific care instructions on the label.
  • Airing: Air the textiles between uses to reduce the frequency of washing.


dry

  • Air drying: It is best to air dry naturally dyed textiles after washing, preferably in the shade, to protect the colors.
  • Dryer: If using a dryer, only use a low temperature to protect the fibers.
  • Shape: While the textiles are still slightly damp, gently pull them into shape to avoid wrinkles.
  • Sun protection: Do not dry in direct sunlight to prevent colors from fading.

  • Wash cycles: Reduce the frequency of washing by airing textiles well between uses. This will help extend the life of the products and save water.
