At Minimal1992, we take pride in crafting premium, 100% cotton pieces designed to last. Whether it’s your go-to oversized sweatshirt or a statement graphic tee from the Mt. Olympus collection, proper care is essential to maintaining the quality and longevity of your streetwear.
We’ll show you how to care for your minimalist wardrobe and keep your pieces looking fresh and feeling comfortable for years to come.
1. Read the Label: Know Your Care Instructions
Every garment comes with specific care instructions that are crucial for preserving its fabric and fit. Always check the label before washing or ironing to avoid unnecessary damage.
An example of what you'll find in every of our clothes.
Key Tip: For 100% cotton items, washing in cold water and air-drying helps prevent shrinking and keeps the fabric soft.
2. Washing: Less Is More
Overwashing can wear out your clothes faster, especially with premium fabrics. Only wash your pieces when necessary, and follow these steps:
- Use cold water: Hot water can cause cotton to shrink and fade graphics. Cold water is gentler and better for the environment.
- Gentle detergents: Opt for mild, color-safe detergents to protect both fabric and print.
- Turn it inside out: Wash garments inside out to minimize friction on the design and maintain its vibrancy.
3. Drying: Skip the Dryer
Tumble drying may seem convenient, but it can damage premium wear, especially oversized pieces that rely on their loose fit for style. But not to worry, all our clothes are pre-shrunk to reduce dryer damage.
- Air dry flat: Lay your clothes flat to dry to maintain their shape. Hanging oversized items can stretch them out.
- Avoid direct sunlight: Sun exposure can fade colors over time. Dry your clothes in a shaded area to keep them looking new.
4. Ironing: Keep It Cool
Ironing cotton is often necessary to keep it looking crisp, but too much heat can ruin prints or damage the fabric.
- Low-heat setting: Use a low to medium heat setting and avoid ironing directly over any graphic prints.
- Use a cloth barrier: Place a clean cotton cloth between the iron and the garment for extra protection.
5. Storing: Maintain Shape and Quality
Proper storage is essential for keeping your pieces in top condition.
- Fold, don’t hang: Oversized sweatshirts and tees are best folded to avoid stretching at the shoulders.
- Organize by season: Store seasonal pieces in breathable garment bags to protect them when not in use.
6. Spot Cleaning: Act Fast
Spills and stains happen. The quicker you treat them, the easier they are to remove.
- Blot, don’t rub: Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth and cold water. Rubbing can spread the stain and damage the fibers.
- Use mild cleaners: For stubborn stains, use a gentle stain remover or a mixture of water and mild detergent.
7. Refreshing Between Wears: Keep It Fresh
Not every wear requires a wash. Keep your clothes fresh between wears with these tips:
- Steam, don’t wash: Use a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles and refresh the fabric.
- Fabric sprays: Lightly spritz with a fabric refresher for a clean, fresh scent.
