HOW TO LOVE & LAST ARMEDANGELS CLOTHES
With all ARMEDANGELS products, we keep the impact on the environment as low as possible. And what happens after the purchase? We pass the responsibility on to you:
With proper care, you can also influence the further impact on the environment and the longevity of your product. So, it's better to care for it properly than to buy a new one. To help you achieve this, we'll help you with the following tips:
Golden rules
It's obvious, but washing less often isn't a given. Consider whether airing out your clothes is sufficient or whether small stains can be treated selectively.
Sort your clothes properly: Always wash fabrics with a hard surface, like jeans, separately from delicate garments to reduce fiber abrasion. Laundry bags also reduce friction.
Washing machines consume the most energy when heating water. At the same time, for many products, it's perfectly adequate if the temperature isn't set too high. So, washing at a lower temperature is a win-win situation for the environment, the product, and your electricity bill.
Tumble dryers consume a lot of energy. Hanging laundry to dry is better not only for your clothes but also for the environment. Just don't hang clothes in direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
In general, we recommend steaming clothes whenever possible. This protects the fibers, as steam treatment is gentler than the pressure applied with an iron.
In general, we advise against using fabric softeners or plasticizers because they coat the fibers and thus limit their properties.
Organic Cotton & Recycled Cotton
Cotton products are very popular. Features such as breathability and moisture-absorbing properties make the material one of the most widely used fibers, both at ARMEDANGELS and worldwide.
- Check care label
- A washing temperature of 30°C (cold) is sufficient
- Use your favorite gentle (eco) liquid detergent
- For dyed cotton fabrics, it is recommended to turn them inside out before washing
- Shake carefully before drying and gently pull the garment back into its original shape
- Dry naturally, but not in direct sunlight
- For a crease-free look, we recommend steaming your cotton clothes
TENCEL™ LYOCELL and LENZING™ ECOVERO™
The fibers have breathable and moisture-absorbing properties similar to cotton and are known for their soft feel on the skin.
- Check care label
- The best option is the hand wash program or delicates program
- Use your favorite gentle (eco) liquid detergent
- Do not overload the washing machine and never wash the products alone
- Shake carefully before drying and gently pull the garment back into its original shape
- Blouses and dresses dry best on a hanger
- Dry naturally, but not in direct sunlight
- For a crease-free look, we recommend steaming your cotton clothes
DETOX Denim
Here, less is more. Much, much more, in fact. Jeans have the advantage of requiring much less washing than other garments. If a wash cycle is necessary, these tips will help:
- Check care label
- There are also denims with a TENCEL™ LYOCELL content: Take a close look at the care label here
- Washing program: Easy-care in combination with a lower spin speed and temperatures
- Always wash your DetoxDenim inside out (zipper and buttons included). Avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents - use gentle (eco-)liquid detergents instead.
- If your DetoxDenim is also made of TENCEL™ LYOCELL fibers, we recommend using a mild detergent
- Attention "bleeding": With new jeans, the denim dye stains onto lighter surfaces
- Remove from the washing machine immediately after washing, turn right side out and hang up to dry by the waistband
Organic wool, recycled wool, alpaca, merino and mohair
If someone asks us how to wash a wool sweater, our answer is: In most cases, it's best not to wash it at all! This may sound strange and unhygienic at first, but wool has natural antibacterial and odor-resistant properties that make washing unnecessary. If it does become necessary, we have the following tips:
- First step: Check the care label
- A washing bag offers the fibers protection from friction in the washing drum
- Special wool detergent helps the fiber to stay supple
- Avoid fabric softeners: The fiber is coated and loses its ability to regulate moisture
- If possible, always treat spotty spots acutely
- Use the wool wash program of the washing machine and in any case a maximum of 20 degrees
- Knitted products should never be washed without other products and should only be washed in a half-filled machine
- After washing, be sure to air dry in a flat form - ideally lying on a towel
- Before drying, it's recommended to gently stretch the garment back into its original shape, especially lengthwise. To be sure, you can document the fit of the garment before washing.
- Knitwear requires special care because over time, every knit product develops small balls (“pilling”) on its surface. This is completely natural and can be easily removed with a special comb or lint shaver.
- It is important that you do not use a lint roller or scissors, as the fibers tear easily
Recycled polyamide
The recycled polyamide we use comes primarily from post-industrial spinning or textile waste. The material, which is also used in our activewear, is quick-drying, lightweight, breathable, and durable. Here are a few care tips to give your clothes an extra dose of love:
- First step: Check the care label
- Use a wash bag to avoid microfiber abrasion
- Use your favorite gentle (eco) liquid detergent
- Choose a low spin speed
- The material dries very quickly in the air
Linen
When someone asks us how to best care for linen, our answer is: It's best to take it easy! Linen is naturally robust, develops an even more beautiful texture over time, and small creases are simply part of its charm. If you still want to give your linen a little freshening up, we have the best tips for you:
- Gentle wash cycle at 30 °C with mild, environmentally friendly detergent
- Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals
- If possible, always air dry on a hanger
- For a smooth finish, iron the fabric slightly damp with medium heat
- Store in a cool, dry place
- To avoid wrinkles, fold neatly or hang loosely
REPAIR SERVICE
Proper care is important. However, wear and tear or a small tear still happens. But we have a solution for that too: Our clothing is repaired using original spare parts by the tailors of our repair partner MENDED.
Second-hand service
Every closet contains treasures that are no longer worn but are still in good condition. We offer such treasures a second life with our second-hand service:
