CARE INSTRUCTIONS: LEELA COTTON garments are machine washable. We recommend the use of detergent without optical brighteners (neutral detergent or biological detergent) and washing at temperatures of 40° Celsius (only for chenille and velvet items: 30° C, towels, bathrobes and underwear: 60° C) .
All fabrics have been pre-washed in an eco-friendly way and artificially pre-shrunk with hot steam (sanforization); in any case, during washing further shrinkage is possible (between 2-6%). Natural fabrics need to be stretched and put back into shape by hand after washing and shaped into their original shape. Organic cotton requires a little more care than conventional and synthetic fabrics, but you'll be wearing a fabric that's good for your skin and your health, and balances body temperature and humidity.
