Quick Answer

Hand wash your Pima Lusso short robe in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay it flat to air dry. Never use a dryer or bleach to preserve the fabric's wrinkle-free, pill-resistant finish.

Why Hand Washing Is Essential

The Pima Lusso short robe is made from a sustainable, pre-shrunk cotton-modal blend that is wrinkle-free and pill-resistant. Machine washing can agitate the fibers and compromise these qualities over time. Hand washing keeps the fabric smooth and reduces wear on the delicate piping and tie details.

The Dryer Is Off Limits

Even low heat in a dryer can cause pilling and shrinkage in this pre-shrunk fabric. The care instructions explicitly warn against machine drying. Air drying flat preserves the robe's shape and the soft hand feel you bought it for.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

  1. Prepare the Wash Basin: Fill a clean sink or basin with cool (not hot) water. Add a small amount of mild, liquid detergent meant for delicates or cotton. Swirl to dissolve. Hot water can set stains and weaken the modal fibers. Always use cool water.
  2. Hand Wash Gently: Submerge the robe and gently agitate it with your hands for 2–3 minutes. Focus on any soiled areas with light rubbing. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Wringing stretches the open-front shape and can damage the removable tie. Instead, press water out gently.
  3. Rinse and Remove Excess Water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool water. Swish the robe to remove all detergent. Repeat if needed. Then press the robe between two clean towels to absorb moisture. Residual detergent attracts dirt and can cause yellowing over time. Rinse until the water runs clear.
  4. Lay Flat to Dry: Place the robe flat on a drying rack or clean towel away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Smooth out wrinkles with your hands. Let it air dry completely. Never hang the robe while wet—gravity can stretch the upper-thigh length. Always dry flat.
