We all know it: your favorite polo or T-shirt shrinks after three washes, or ends up looking like you’ve been doing DIY in it. 😩 Such a shame! Luckily, with a few smart habits, you can keep your basics looking great much longer.

Here’s how to do it!

1️⃣ Washing: less is more

• Turn polos and basics inside out to avoid wear.

• Use a mild detergent, preferably without bleach.

• Select a short cycle at low temperature (max 30°C).

• Don’t overload the drum – give your clothes space.

👉 Vercate tip: our sustainable basics are built to last, but they still need gentle care.

2️⃣ Drying: air over heat

• Hang your clothes instead of using the dryer.

• Lay delicate fabrics flat to dry (prevents stretching).

• Avoid full sun exposure, which can fade colors.

👉 Vercate has great polos that air-dry best.

3️⃣ Storing: let your basics rest

• Fold polos instead of hanging them (avoids hanger marks).

• Store basics in a not-too-crammed closet.

• Rotate your outfits so basics get a break.

4️⃣ Ironing & freshening up

• Iron at a low temperature or use a steamer.

• Hang worn items in the bathroom while you shower to release wrinkles.

• Use a lint roller to remove dust and fuzz.

Summary

By washing, drying, storing, and ironing smartly, your polos and basics will stay beautiful longer and you’ll save money. Enjoy your favorite outfits with minimal effort! 🌿👕
