Towels + washers
For tea towels, hand towels, face washers, beach towels
and other washable towel products:
- Machine wash only as directed on the product page or care label
- Use low heat for tumble drying only where permitted
- Avoid bleach, harsh cleaners and unnecessary heat
- Do not aggressively scrub the printed surface
THE TOWEL CAN HANDLE WATER. IT DOES NOT NEED A PERSONAL VENDETTA FROM THE DRYER.
☼
Beach towels
Printed beach towels are designed for actual beaches,
pools and wet humans. Treat the printed surface kindly.
- Wash according to the attached care label
- Use sensible wash settings suitable for the fabric
- Use low dryer heat only if the care label allows it
- Avoid excessive heat and harsh chemical cleaners
SAND IS FINE. A DRYER SET TO THE SURFACE OF THE SUN IS LESS IDEAL.

Fabric placemats
Dinner happens. So do gravy, pasta sauce and the occasional
mysteriously airborne pea.
- Follow the washing directions shown for the product
- Deal with spills promptly where practical
- Use low heat only where the product instructions permit it
- Avoid abrasive scrubbing directly over printed areas
PROTECT THE TABLE. DEAL WITH THE EVIDENCE. CARRY ON.

COSY IS THE GOAL. CHEMICAL WARFARE IS NOT.

Ceramic + melamine
Plates, mugs and other hard-surface products can have
different coatings and care requirements.
- Do not assume dishwasher suitability

WHEN IN DOUBT, STEP AWAY FROM THE MICROWAVE BUTTON.

so always follow the care information for the exact product.

- Avoid abrasive scourers on printed or decorated surfaces
- Allow lids and components to dry properly after washing
- Do not expose to heat or appliances unless specifically approved
IT HOLDS YOUR DRINK. IT DOES NOT NEED TO COMPLETE AN APPLIANCE OBSTACLE COURSE.

Bags + travel bits
Tote bags, lunch bags, passport holders and other travel products
are best cared for according to the material used.
- Follow product-specific cleaning directions
- Spot clean where recommended
- Avoid soaking products not designed for machine washing

THE AIRPORT WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH TRAUMA. NO NEED TO ADD BLEACH.
✦
Wrapping paper + stationery
Paper has one major design flaw:
it remains extremely committed to being paper.
- Keep dry until you actually want to use it
- Store away from prolonged damp or direct harsh sunlight
- Avoid crushing or tightly creasing unused sheets and rolls
- Keep stationery away from liquids, because paper has made its position very clear
WATERCOLOUR ART: BEAUTIFUL. WATER ON YOUR UNUSED WRAPPING PAPER: LESS SO.
◇
Cushions + soft homewares
Covers, inserts and printed fabrics can all have different
care requirements.
- Check whether covers are removable before washing
- Follow the care label for the fabric and print method
- Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat
- Do not assume the entire cushion belongs in the washing machine
REMOVE THE INSERT IF THE INSTRUCTIONS TELL YOU TO. THE WASHING MACHINE DOES NOT NEED A NEW FRIEND.
♧
Plant pots + hard homewares
Decorative hard-surface products prefer gentle cleaning
rather than an industrial-strength attack.
- Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth where appropriate
- Avoid abrasive cleaners and scourers
- Keep printed surfaces away from sharp objects
- Handle breakable items with the level of care breakable items traditionally request
CERAMIC + CONCRETE FLOOR REMAINS AN UNFAIR MATCH-UP.
