Wash & Care
How to take care of your favourite pieces and delicates
Ever since byTiMo’s beginning, sustainability has been at the core of the brand. It’s been a natural part of our business, and an important aspect of every decision made. All our fabrics are certified and made sustainably. We want your garments to last for years, but for them to do so, they have to be cared for with love and respect.
Wash & Care - Viscose
We advise you to always check the care instructions on the inside of the garment. If the garment is washable (most of our pieces are), wash it by hand or in the machine on a delicate wash, and not more than 30C.
Machine Wash:
We recommend that you wash your silk and viscose on a delicate machine wash, no more than 30C, with delicate (and sustainably made) wash detergent and a mild softener without perfume. When the machine is done, hang it on a hanger or leave it flat for drying.
Drying:
It is important to mention that viscose will always shrink a bit when exposed to cold water, but when the fabric is touched by heat again, it will expand to its original form. So, steam or iron (not too hot!) your garment, and it will get your shape back! Sometimes it’s enough just to put it on your warm skin!
Wash & Care - Cotton
We advise you to always check the care instructions on the inside of the cotton garment.
Machine Wash:
For our cottons, that are all made organically either under the GOTS or BCI sustanability standards, we recommend machine wash on 30 or 40 degrees celcius, depending on the particular garment.
Drying:
Leave it out to dry either on a hanger, or on a drying rod. And then iron or steam the garment to make the wrinkles go away.
Wash & Care - Wool
We advise you to always check the care instructions on the inside of the garment. If the knit is washable (most of our pieces are), wash it by hand or in the machine on a delicate wash, and not more than 30C.
Wool is a resilient natural fiber, but it’s also a delicate one, which means it has to be treated carefully. A lot of people wash their knitwear too often, keep in mind you probably should wash it more rarely than you do today! You can also hang it outside in the fresh air to be “aired out”, and it can we cleaned only on spots when needed.
Machine wash:
We recommend that you wash your wool and knitwear on a delicate machine wash or a wool-wash program, no more than 30C, with delicate (and sustainably made) wash detergent and a mild softener without perfume. When the machine is done, leave it flat to dry, as hanging can stretch the garment into a different form.
If the jumper has unique details such as large, heavy buttons or something similar, we recommend you use a washbag when washing it.
