Tencel
STEP 1: WASHING
Tencel is a soft, flowing, and breathable natural fiber that requires gentle washing to preserve its texture and drape. Air your dress between wears to avoid frequent washing.
IN CASE OF A STAIN
Perform localized cleaning with a damp cloth.
For a complete wash, turn the dress inside out and machine wash at a maximum of 30°C, on a delicate cycle, with similar colors.
Use a mild detergent, without bleaching agents. Avoid fabric softener, which can weigh down the fiber.
Choose a gentle spin (max. 800 rpm) to avoid breaking the fabric's fluidity.
STEP 2: DRYING
Do not tumble dry: heat can shrink or damage the Tencel fiber.
Air dry the dress in the shade, hanging on a wide hanger or laying flat.
Avoid direct heat. Do not twist the fabric; gently squeeze to remove excess water.
STEP 3: IRONING
Tencel may wrinkle slightly after washing.
To iron:
- Do it upside down, at low temperature.
- Use a gentle steam or damp cloth to avoid shiny marks.
- Do not leave the iron still: move it continuously to preserve the fiber.
STEP 4: THE INTERVIEW
Store your Tencel dress hanging on a wide hanger to maintain its shape.
Store it in a dry, clean place, away from light to preserve the color.
Since Tencel is naturally antibacterial, air the dress regularly if you don't wear it often, and avoid repeated rubbing which could wear out the fiber over time.
