Quick answer
Wash Ecovero underwear on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Always air dry flat away from direct heat to preserve the fabric's softness and shape. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high heat.
Why Ecovero needs special care
Ecovero is a type of TENCEL™ fiber derived from sustainably sourced wood pulp. It is known for its buttery-soft feel and low environmental impact, but the delicate fibers can break down if treated harshly. Proper care keeps your knickers feeling great and reduces waste.
What you need for the best results
A gentle, eco-friendly liquid detergent works best. Avoid powders with optical brighteners or enzymes that can weaken the fibers. A mesh laundry bag adds extra protection during machine washing.

Step-by-step Ecovero underwear care routine
- Check the care label: Always read the sewn-in tag for specific temperature and drying instructions. Most Ecovero knickers recommend a cold or warm wash. Skipping this step can accidentally shrink or damage the fabric.
- Turn inside out and use a mesh bag: Turn each pair inside out to protect the outer surface. Place them in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and snagging during the cycle. This prevents pilling and keeps lace trims intact.
- Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water: Select the delicate or hand-wash cycle on your machine. Use cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C / 86°F) and a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Hot water and harsh cycles break down TENCEL™ fibers faster.
- Never use bleach or fabric softener: Bleach weakens the fibers and fabric softener coats the material, reducing its natural moisture-wicking and softness. Stick to a gentle detergent without additives.
- Air dry flat, away from heat: Lay the underwear flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or tumble dryers. High heat shrinks and distorts the shape. Air drying preserves the fit and feel.
- Store loosely folded: Once dry, fold your knickers loosely and store them in a drawer without heavy stacking or tight compression. Overcrowding or stretching can misshape the elastic over time.
