 Basics

• Cold wash
• Hang dry
• Use an eco-friendly detergent
  • Choose a soap that contains minimal amounts of dyes, perfumes, and other irritants

Shrink to fit

Our gis are preshrunk and you will see minimal amounts to no shrinkage if you cold wash and hang dry your gis. However, your gi is slightly roomy out of the bag, it is possible to shrink it. Try a combination of warm water wash and medium heat dry cycle. For extreme cases you will have to hot wash and hot dry.

What to do if your gi is scratchy from hang drying

Firstly, a scratchy gi is a sign that you may be using too much detergent. If that is not the case, we recommend that you put your gi in the dryer on a tumble dry cycle with NO heat. If the gi is still a bit scratchy, toss in a couple of tennis balls into the dryer when you tumble dry. 

Vinegar

Vinegar is your gi's best friend. If your gi has a hard to remove stench, try soaking your gi overnight in a bucket of vinegar. Don't worry, after putting your gi through a wash cycle, the vinegar smell will completely wash out.
