At cciaco we guarantee the best quality in all our garments, from our briefs and boxers to our jockstraps , but if you want your garments to last much longer, we give you some useful advice to extend the life of your underwear (applies to any daily garment ). The correct washing method will increase the useful life of your underwear and so you can enjoy them for much longer.
Hand wash is recommended
The ideal would be to wash all our clothes manually, and not by machine, since in the long run the materials deteriorate and affect the way in which each garment fits our body. Manually washing garments can considerably extend their useful life, additionally avoid using very strong detergents, or substances such as chlorine. Colored underwear should be washed using detergent for colored clothes; and white clothes should be washed separately using a white laundry detergent, since the latter have aggregates that help maintain the shine of white garments.
Do not mix clothes
As we previously mentioned, colored underwear should never be mixed with white garments. Additionally, it is not important to take into account their composition, that is, in some cases it is not advisable to wash cotton garments with garments made of microfiber, since by not having the same composition, one can absorb some dye.
If you use a dryer, place it on low heat
The best thing would be to hang all our underwear to dry, but due to time constraints it is not always possible. In these cases, if we use a drying machine we must guarantee that the temperature is not too high, the heat can affect the elastic properties of the fabric and the elastics. It is always advisable to review the washing instructions of the garments we buy.
