Color pre-sorting of socks:

An integral part of your washing routine: pre-sorting your laundry. Before washing your socks, sort them by color and material. This will keep the colors of your socks looking good for longer! Roughly speaking, we recommend pre-sorting socks into black, white or colored laundry.

Turn socks inside out:

Socks should also be turned inside out during preparation - this way skin particles can be removed effectively.

Cotton socks: Wash at 30-40°C:

Too much heat will damage your cotton socks and they may shrink. 30°C-40°C is perfectly sufficient.

Wool socks: Wash on a wool cycle at 30°C and a maximum of 600 revolutions:

For our wool socks, we recommend washing them exclusively on a wool cycle. This is what they like best by far. Because with the gentle wash cycle, you ensure that your wool socks do not shrink and retain their shape. After washing, remove the socks directly from the machine, shake them out lightly and gently pull them into shape while damp.

No dryer:

Socks last longer if you don't put them in the dryer. Therefore, our advice to you: skip the dryer and hang your socks to dry. This is also good for the environment.

Quick sorting:

Our colorful DillySocks make sorting your socks super easy. Thanks to the colorful patterns, you can immediately see which socks belong together and don't have to search for long! Not only in terms of their look, a clear win for your wardrobe and washing process. :)

Key facts at a glance

1. Wash T-shirts at 30° Celsius on a normal or delicates wash cycle
2. Do not tumble dry
3. Do not bleach
4. Iron at a normal to medium temperature
5. Dry clean with perchlorethylene

1. Sort your T-shirts by color first (black, white, off-white, lilac). Wash light-colored T-shirts in particular separately or with other light-colored garments. That way the colors of your T-shirts stay beautiful for longer! As a rough guide, we recommend pre-sorting your T-shirts into black, white or colored laundry.
2. Turn T-shirts inside out before washing. This protects the print on your T-shirt.
3. Use a mild, color-safe detergent suitable for printed and colored textiles. We recommend using an organic detergent. This way you care for your T-shirt gently and protect the environment.
4. Wash your T-shirt on a gentle cycle or use the delicates program of your washing machine.
5. Air-dry your T-shirt, ideally in the shade and not in direct sunlight. The sun can bleach the fabric.
6. Do not use a tumble dryer for drying. Tumble dryers are particularly damaging to the T-shirt print.
7. Lay the T-shirt flat or hang it up to dry so it keeps its shape.
8. Iron the T-shirt at low to medium heat. Turn the shirt inside out when ironing so you don’t damage the print. Ideally, use a damp pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
9. Store the T-shirt in a dry place or hang it in a well-ventilated wardrobe. This way it keeps its oversized shape.
10. Never use bleach when washing your T-shirts.
11. Of course, check the care instructions on the T-shirt’s label and follow them.
12. Avoid rubbing or stretching the fabric too much, especially around the print.
13. Avoid overloading the washing machine. This is gentler on the T-shirt’s fibers.

Our T-shirt is a heavyweight T-shirt with 220 grams of fabric per square meter. The fabric is made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. This material needs a little more time to dry than T-shirts made from conventional cotton fabric.
