Care Guide
Special Notes
• Sustainable viscose — eco-friendly production
• Same care as standard viscose
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — treat like viscose/rayon but slightly more durable
- • Line dry preferred to maintain shape and reduce energy use; tumble dry low if needed
- • Iron on low heat while slightly damp for best results; use a press cloth on delicate weaves
- • Avoid wringing or twisting — gently press water out; EcoVero shares rayon's wet fragility
- • Avoid bleach and harsh detergents; use eco-friendly detergent to match the fabric's sustainability
- • Store on padded hangers for structured pieces; fold knits and casual items
