Fibreinformation: Care Instructions for Natural Fibers

 

 

Care

     
    What your washing can handle
     
    disana has always been very careful in only selecting the best all organic silk, cotton and wool fibers. The delicate nature of these fibers also requires special care when washing to ensure long lasting satisfaction with our products.
     
    Do you always really know exactly what the different care instructions mean?

As a general rule:  the numbers in the wash-tub correspond to the maximum washing temperatures – 30, 40, 60 or 95 degrees Celsius.

A bar under the tub or the symbols for dry-cleaning stand for delicate treatment.  Here are the most common care symbols so that you don’t have any nasty surprises
