Step 1: Check the care label

Always read the label first. Most chinos can go in the washing machine, but check the recommended temperature (usually 30°C / 86°F).

Step 2: Wash inside out

This protects the color and prevents the fabric from wearing out on the outside.

Step 3: Use the right wash cycle

• Temperature: 30°C / 86°F

• Spin speed: Max 800–1000 rpm

• Cycle: Delicate or cotton
  Use a mild detergent. No bleach. Preferably no fabric softener either.

Step 4: Air dry only

Never put chinos in the dryer. It ruins the fit and can shrink the fabric.
Hang them on a hanger to reduce wrinkles.

Step 5: Iron smartly

Iron inside out on low to medium heat, preferably with steam or a damp cloth.
