Instead of washing garments after 1 wear – air them instead (unless incredibly sweaty or stained). Besides saving a bucket load of water (literally) it also prolongs the life of the garment. This blog teaches you how to –

• Save Electricity
• Save Water

  Each Purple Potato Garment comes with its own special wash care instructions – best suited to the fabric & its qualities. As a general rule of thumb, always dryclean tie-dye garments. Hand wash & line dry your knitwear so it retains shape.
  
  Washing Machines Pro-tips for Garment Dyed Clothes
  
  
• Make sure you put a max load (for optimizing electricity) with similar colors on a gentle setting
• Turn clothes inside out & zip all zippers
• Tie the sleeves loosely together so they don’t get stuck in the machine
• Use cold water with Garment Dye apparel – it helps keep the fibers close together & the dye trapped inside.
• Tumble dry on a low setting to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. But don’t overstuff the dryer.

• Hope this short blog gives easy tips to take care of your knitwear. If there are any more suggestions or anything we missed here – write to us! We love to hear from you.
