Stain Removal Tips For Natural Fibers

  • Treat stains immediately with cold water
  • Use natural stain removers (baking soda, white vinegar)
  • Avoid chlorine bleach—use oxygen bleach if needed
  • Test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first

What to Avoid

❌ Fabric softeners (reduce absorbency and eco-benefits)
❌ High heat (damages natural fibers)
❌ Bleach (weakens fibers and removes natural properties)

❌ Dry cleaning (unnecessary and uses harsh chemicals)

Storage & Maintenance

  • Store in a cool, dry place with good air circulation
  • Avoid plastic bags—use breathable cotton storage bags
