WASH, DRY & CARE SUGGESTIONS

Caring for your Something For The People (TM) garment is a relationship we’d like to encourage, yet, with a bit of helpful advice regarding an eco-commitment we believe will be very beneficial toward building trust with the planet, and the sustainable wear you’ve purchased from us. Please understand, these are ONLY suggestions, that when followed, will produce the ultimate in eco-care.

MATERIALS

Our entire product line is made from premium, high-quality, 100% organic cotton, all certified under strict guidelines of manufacturing organic wear, and does require a level of responsible involvement to properly maintain. For normal care, we recommend the following guidelines:

WASH

We highly recommend washing your SFTP garments on delicate cycle, though it most certainly can endure heavy duty cycles for dirtier, more stained washings. Please wash inside out, and in cold water. Washing in cold water, as opposed to warm or hot, guarantees a more assured life cycle of your eco-clothing, reduces energy, and increases longevity. 

Hand washing is fine, but can result in wringing that stretches, and can ruin the garment’s stitching and fibers. If you do hand wash, fold over item twice and push water out with firmness, then drip dry outside.

And for the fullest protection of the item, and our ecology, we suggest using eco-detergents, for safer washing, and to eliminate chemicals interacting with your organic wear. Do not ever bleach. 

DRY

It is our recommendation that you hang or flat dry, and never tumble or apply heat to your purchases. Once again, we want the maximum protection of your garment, and to ensure responsible energy consumption. We also ask that you do not dry clean any item purchased from us, as chemicals will prove counterintuitive to your purchase. 

IRONING 

If you ever need to iron your tee or hoodie, do so from the inside out, on lowest heat possible, preferably with steam. This practice will ensure longevity and protection of all graphics, as well as prevent sheen and shine of garments damaged by an over heated iron. 

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

Lastly, don’t allow your garment to become permanently stained, address issues right away—blotting when able—as this practice ensures an extended life cycle that enables you to resource your garment with confidence, should you choose to do so—that others might further enjoy your beautiful purchase.
