Troubleshooting
Garment appears wrinkled
Iron on a medium heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Consider a cool tumble dry with a damp cloth for a few minutes.
Shrinkage after washing
Always follow care instructions. If shrinkage occurs, a light steam or damp ironing may help relax the fibers. Future washes should be in cold water and air-dried.
Pilling on fabric surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of linen and cotton blends. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid harsh rubbing during washing.
