👖 Tumble dry less - Constant tumbling can make clothes more fragile and loosen fibres that will then shed in the next wash Have you got any tips? Let us know 👍 #StopOceanThreads #Microfibres #Microfibers #MicrofibrePollution #Microplastics #PlasticPollution

31 જાન્યુ

👕 Wash at 30oC - High temperatures can damage clothes resulting in more microfibre shedding 🎽 Wash a full load - Only wash when the machine is full as less friction between the clothes will result in fewer fibres being shed
