Wash Care Instructions

Know your Clarkia products

Before moving to wash care instructions, it is important for you to understand your Clarkia products. 

100% Cotton: Clarkia cotton product are made of unprocessed cotton, no bleaches, no dyes, no chemicals are used. It's completely Raw and Natural.

Aroma: Cotton has a natural aroma that dissipates over time or with wash. It’s often described as earthy or musty. What you smell is cotton seed oil in the fabric. It's not toxic or harmful.

Shrinkage: Expect some shrinkage after first wash. Cotton shrinks because the tension applied to yarn during weaving of cloth is released on wash. Generally shrinkage depends on the type and thickness of cloth. In our case, shrinkage is less than 5%.

Brown Flecks: You can see darker brown flecks within the fabric weave. These are natural leaf and seed remnants of the cotton plant which is quite normal as it is unprocessed fabric.
