Discover how to wash and care for your dressing gown in the handy guide below.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WASH YOUR DRESSING GOWN?
Ever wondered how often you should wash that robe? Yep, we thought so. Chances are, you’re not actually washing yours as often as you should - no judgement, we get it - you want to keep it as soft and fluffy as possible, for the longest time!
That said, washing every 4 wears is recommended for optimum freshness and fluff-factor.
Keep your robe in tip-top condition and feel confident enough to put your dressing gown through that wash cycle a tad more frequently, with the guide that explains all you need to know…
HOW TO WASH & DRY A FLUFFY DRESSING GOWN
The key to keeping your gown fluffy, soft and fresh? Follow these 6 steps and get the best results after every wash:
- Ideally, wash your fluffy dressing gown approximately every 4 wears - any more and you risk allowing bacteria to grow on it. No thank you.
- Wash it all on its own, VIP-style
- 40 degrees is the best temperature - any hotter risks damaging the soft fibres
- Use a gentle detergent - and go easy on the dosage
- Once washed, do not tumble dry
- Air or line dry your robe and keep it hung up whenever you’re not wearing it
