Washing instructions

To maintain the integrity/longevity of your robe’s shape, and the quality of its colors and fabric, we recommend: 

• Washing the robe once or twice a month.
• Removing the robe's belt, and washing your robe with its arms inside out.
• Using half of mild detergent . Regular detergent can also be used, however, it is harsher on fabrics over time. Use half a cup of distilled vinegar when risen to clear away any lingering detergent residue.
• Hand washing, or setting the machine washer to the cold, delicate/regular wash cycle.
• Hang drying your robe. Tumble drying it in your machine with no/low heat also works. 
• Removing from washer/dryer promptly, and hanging.
• Avoiding the use of fabric softeners or bleach. 

DON’T: We do not recommend drying robes on high heat. With cotton flannel in particular, drying your robe on high heat (or over drying it) can cause cotton flannel to shrink or shred.

 

Robe Stiffness

Build-up of detergent or laundry softener can cause your favorite robe to become stiff and worn looking. To fluff it up, we recommend washing your robe alone without detergent. You can also add a little distilled white vinegar to help get rid of excess detergent.

 

Robe Stains

Whenever possible, we recommend spot cleaning, blotting the stain with cold water. 

For more stubborn stains, we recommend pre-treating the stain with detergent - pouring it directly onto the stain and letting it set for an hour or two, before going into the wash. This works for robes of all materials, including cotton, flannel, and silk. Like all fabrics, the sooner you can treat the stain, the better.
