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
