Quick answer
Wash your Sweat Lame Chilling Ecru inside out in cold water and tumble dry on low to preserve the cotton softness and the playful chili muscle print.
Why 100% cotton needs gentle care
The Sweat Lame Chilling Ecru is made from 100% cotton. Cotton fibers can shrink or lose shape with high heat, so cool water and low drying temperatures are key. Harsh detergents may also fade the ecru color over time.
Protecting the print
The chili muscle illustration is a screen-printed design. Turning the sweatshirt inside out before washing prevents the print from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum, keeping it vibrant longer.
How to care for your Bonton cotton sweatshirt
- Turn inside out: Before washing, turn the sweatshirt inside out. This protects the front print from friction and prevents pilling on the outer cotton surface.
- Wash in cold water: Use cold water (max 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Hot water can shrink cotton and fade the ecru shade. Choose a mild liquid detergent without bleach. Common mistake: using warm or hot water thinking it cleans better – it actually damages cotton fibers and prints faster.
- Dry on low heat: Tumble dry on low or lay flat to air dry. High heat shrinks cotton and can crack the screen print. Remove the sweatshirt while slightly damp to avoid over-drying. Checkpoint: if you air dry, reshape the sweatshirt while damp to maintain its fit.
- Store folded, not hung: Fold the sweatshirt and store it in a drawer or shelf. Hanging a cotton sweatshirt can stretch the neckline and shoulders over time.
