Drying
How to dry in a gentler way
Proper drying can help maintain Tekla pieces but also reduce environmental impact.
- Remove laundry as soon as the cycle is complete and shake out before drying to prevent damp and creases.
- Natural fibres such as cotton need to be stretched slightly to return to their pre-wash shape. Stretching products while they are still damp can reduce the need for ironing.
- Line dry whenever possible, away from direct sunlight. This is more gentle to fabric fibres and can help increase a product life span.
- When tumble drying, use a low heat.
- Use dryer balls when tumble drying to reduce energy usage.
- If you choose to iron your products, iron while they are still damp. This helps remove creases and uses less energy.
- Products should never be stored damp. This allows bacteria to grow and can cause odour.
