Redpoint Clothing Care Instructions


At Redpoint Clothing, we design and manufacture our products with minimal environmental impact in mind. Our focus on water usage reflects our commitment to the conservation of this vital resource on our planet.

We want to help you take better care of your Redpoint Clothing, as 15-30% of the environmental footprint of any garment comes from use, wearing, and washing. By following our tips for responsible wardrobe maintenance, you can help lower the environmental impact of your clothes while also saving money.

 

Learn how to care for your favorite Redpoint Clothing in eight easy steps on responsible wardrobe maintenance:

 

Pro tip: if you’re ever unsure, a good rule of thumb is to
machine wash cold, tumble dry low, and lay flat to dry.

 

 Remove large stains and strong odours before machine washing.


If your Redpoint Clothing gets stained, we recommend taking care of it as soon as possible. For most stains, olive oil-based Marseille soap or gall soap work wonders. If you're not at home, rinsing the stain with mineral water is an effective first aid measure. For sweat and other strong odours, soaking your clothes for a few hours in a bucket filled with white vinegar and lukewarm water (one part vinegar, four parts water) will help fight bacteria that cause unpleasant odours. After soaking, rinse the clothes with lukewarm water and hang them to dry.


 Machine wash less.


Generally, we machine wash our daily clothes too often. Unless you sweat a lot during the day or your clothes get dirty daily, there is no reason to machine wash your Redpoint Clothing after every use. You can also freshen them up by taking them out to air. The only clothes we should wash often are underwear, undershirts, and socks.


 Use ecological detergents and fabric softeners.


Using less detergent and fabric softener will make your laundry cleaner. Extra chemicals increase pollution and cost you more. Use only the suggested dosage. Adding 1–2 heaped spoonsful of baking soda to each load will help the detergent work more effectively. If you use liquid detergents, ensure they are free of zeolites and artificial scents.


 Lower the washing temperature.


'When machine washing Redpoint Clothing, we recommend washing at no more than 40°. This helps conserve energy, as the water doesn't need to be overheated. When using an eco-programme, put the clothes in a washing bag to protect them from the mechanical abrasion of the longer cycle.


 Use a microfibre washing bag to contain loose synthetic fibres.


Synthetic fibres release microfibres into waterways in every wash. Because these microscopic particles are too small to be filtered in water treatment plants, some end up in nature. They harm aquatic ecosystems, and in time they climb their way up the food chain and end up on our plates. Machine wash synthetic fibres only when necessary, and use a microfibre washing bag to catch any loose fibres. We recommend Guppy Friend washing bags.


 Hang to dry. Steam to refresh.


Clothes are best kept on hangers rather than folded, and can also be dried on hangers. Thicker hangers help keep the clothes in shape. Hung clothes often need no ironing after they dry. Steaming is a safe and fast alternative to ironing and an excellent way to freshen up clothes after a few uses.


 Don't cut off the care labels.


Cutting off the care labels and fibre information from clothes is not recommended, as clothing collectors and recyclers need fibre consistency information on the clothes to sort the textiles correctly. If that information is available, the clothes will not end up in fibre recycling, and all the materials and natural resources used while making them will be well-spent.
