Care Instructions
• Hand wash or use a laundry bag to protect the fabric from deformation and damage when washing with other clothes.
• Keep water temperature below 25°C and avoid soaking for more than 5 minutes. A slight color residue after soaking is normal.
• Avoid using bleach or brighteners, as these can damage the functional fibers and reduce sun protection.
• Use a neutral detergent for hand washing. Do not use fabric softeners or tumble dryers, as they can affect the moisture-wicking properties.
• When ironing, place a cloth between the fabric and the iron, and set the iron to a maximum of 120°C.
• Avoid strong friction to reduce pilling.
• To maintain the best condition, it is recommended to wash before wearing.
