Care Instructions for Hemp and Natural Textiles 

How to Keep Your HempAge Clothing Looking Great

We’re delighted that you’ve chosen a natural product. Clothing made from hemp and other natural materials stands for sustainability, durability, and conscious consumption. To ensure you enjoy your HempAge garments for a long time, proper care is essential.

Here you’ll find all important care instructions for hemp textiles, along with additional tips for natural materials such as wool and silk.

Why Natural Textiles Require Special Care

In addition to high-quality hemp, our textiles may contain other natural fibers. For ecological reasons, we deliberately avoid artificial adhesives and chemical treatments that artificially increase durability.

This means our clothing is particularly skin-friendly and sustainably produced — but it does require careful handling.

As with other natural materials such as silk or wool, gentle cleaning significantly contributes to the longevity of your garments.

Basic Care Instructions for Hemp Clothing

To help your hemp textiles maintain their shape, color, and structure, please follow these recommendations:

• Wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C

• Use the lowest possible spin speed

• Choose a detergent without bleach

• Do not tumble dry

• Avoid strong mechanical friction during pre-treatment

Gentle care protects the natural fibers and prevents unnecessary wear.

Caring for Wool and Silk

If your garment contains wool or silk, please also note the following:

• Use a special wool detergent

• Select the wool or delicate wash cycle

• Dry flat whenever possible

• Reshape knitwear after washing

Knitwear in particular benefits from being dried flat, as hanging may cause the material to lose its shape.

Zippers, Buttons & Fastenings

Before washing, we recommend:

• Closing zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners

• Fastening buttons

• Washing tops and trousers separately

If items cannot be separated, ensure all fastenings are closed. This helps prevent damage caused by friction during the washing process.

Always Check the Care Label

Please also follow the individual care instructions provided on the HempAge hangtag or in the respective product description on hempage.com.

Specific recommendations may apply depending on the material composition.

Sustainability Begins with Care

Proper care not only extends the lifespan of your clothing but also reduces resource consumption.

Washing less frequently, choosing lower temperatures, and avoiding tumble drying helps save:

• Energy

• Water

• CO₂ emissions

In this way, you actively contribute to a more sustainable use of resources.
