Care instructions for high-quality basics
Care instructions
This is how your gradualbasics products keep their shape and quality for years.
High-quality clothing deserves the right care. With a few simple steps, you can make sure that your favorite hoodie still looks and feels like it did on the first day, even after countless wears.
Our recommendations
Washing properly
Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Turn dark colors inside out to minimize color loss.
Gentle drying
Do not tumble dry. Drying flat in the open air preserves the shape best.
Iron carefully
If necessary, iron inside out at low temperature. Avoid direct contact with prints.
What to avoid
Do not use bleach. Do not dry clean. Do not use fabric softener.
Frequently asked questions about care
How often should I wash my hoodie?
Less is more. We recommend washing the hoodie only after 4-6 wears. Frequent washing puts unnecessary strain on the cotton fibers. Often, simply airing it out thoroughly is enough.
Will my hoodie shrink?
Our products are pre-washed to minimize shrinkage. As long as you don't tumble dry it and wash it at 30°C, shrinkage will be minimal (less than 5%).
Can I use fabric softener?
We advise against it. Fabric softeners can coat the natural fibers of high-quality cotton and impair their breathability and texture over time.
