Special Notes
• Same care as virgin nylon
• Avoid high heat
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — identical care to virgin nylon
- • Line dry when possible to save energy and reduce microplastic release from dryer lint
- • Use a microfiber-catching wash bag every wash — recycled nylon still sheds microplastics
- • Avoid high heat in dryer or iron — nylon melts at relatively low temperatures
- • No bleach — it degrades the recycled polyamide fibers and causes yellowing
- • Store flat or on hangers; nylon does not wrinkle easily and holds its shape well
