Pre‑wash is recommended (especially for apparel) to allow for shrinkage and to condition the fabric.
Gentle / cold wash is advised. Some shops advise hand wash cold or machine wash on gentle cycle.

Drying: line dry or drip dry, ideally in shade to preserve colors. Some sources say tumble dry low may be possible.

Ironing: Use a warm iron as needed.
