Care tips
Our products are made from high-quality Supima cotton, soft sustainable Tencel™, premium Merino wool and the finest Egyptian cotton. Because of the superior quality, our products retain their shape and colour for a long time. But they could always do with a helping hand, so here a few tips to ensure your Noshirts, Boxer Shorts and Nosocks stay in tip-top shape.
1. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Not a tip you might expect first, but take good care of your washing machine. Dirt easily gets stuck in the rubber rim near the opening. Wipe it regularly with a cloth. You can clean the inside of the machine by doing a boiling wash (i.e. at 90 degrees).
2. COLOUR CODING
For the White products, use a detergent specifically made for whites as these detergents contain optical brighteners and keep your white clothes white. Do not use chlorine or bleach, as this severely affects the quality of the fabric. For Black products, use a detergent specifically for dark or black laundry, which helps retain the colour. Wash your coloured and Invisible Khaki products with coloured clothing.
3. NOT TOO HOT
You can wash our products at 30ºC or 40ºC. Higher temperatures could cause shrinkage and affect the durability of your top, boxer shorts or socks.
For our woollen items, we recommend washing them on a special wool programme.
4. NO FABRIC SOFTENER
Keeping your Noshirt items fresh is only possible if the fabric’s cells remain open. Fabric softener clogs these cells and thus counteracts their action.
5. FIRST DRY IT, THEN DON IT
For hygienic purposes, it’s important that your tops, boxershorts or socks are completely dry before you put them away. After all, bacteria thrive in moisture. And if you want to keep your items smelling fresh as a daisy, then you don’t want to give those bacteria any chance to grow. You can opt to dry your pieces naturally on the clothesline, or in a tumble dryer – and if you chose the dryer, then put it onto a low setting to avoid shrinkage.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE SHRINKAGE
As our products are made from natural materials, a small amount of natural shrinkage may occur during the first wash and/or dry. But don’t worry: this has been taken into account in the design and sizing.
