Bongusta Care Club
Thread pulling It is not unusual for loose threads to appear in a terry fabric but with the right care you won’t even notice they have been there. If a loops snags, cut it off at the base with sharp scissors – do not pull! The double threads are secured on the back and will not run when you cut them. Leaving loose threads dangling can cause the terry fabric to unravel.
Wash before use
BONGUSTA Terry Care Guide
Our 100% organic cotton terry is designed to be soft, absorbent, and long-lasting. To ensure your Bongusta pieces stay fluffy and vibrant for years to come, we recommend following these simple care steps:
Before First Use
While we pre-wash many of our items (like our bathrobes and ponchos), we highly recommend washing all your Terry products before their first use. This "activates" the fibers, ensuring ultimate softness and optimal absorbency from day one.
The Washing Process
- Temperature: Wash at a maximum of 40°C.
- Program: Use a delicate washing program with a low spin cycle. This protects the loops of the terry and prevents the fabric from stretching.
- Detergent: Use minimal detergent. Not only is it better for the environment, but it also helps the fabric last longer.
- No Softeners: Avoid fabric softeners. They create a coating on the fibers that significantly reduces the natural absorbency of the organic cotton.
Drying for Fluffiness
For that signature soft feel,tumble-dry on low temperatures. This helps lift the cotton loops, keeping the fabric airy, soft, and fluffy.
Special Care for Accessories
If you are washing our handbags, we recommend placing them in a laundry bag to protect the strings. Before washing, make sure to tighten the knots to keep everything in place.
Sahej Poplin Care Guide
The Sahej collection is crafted from 100% organic and GOTS-certified cotton, known for its crisp, light, and airy feel. Because poplin is a more delicate weave than terry, it requires a gentle touch to maintain its soft texture and vibrant colors.
Washing for Longevity
- Temperature: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C. Using lower temperatures helps preserve the organic cotton fibers and protects the pigment of our bright colorways.
- No Bleach: Never use bleach on your Sahej products. It will damage the GOTS-certified fibers and cause the colors to fade or spot.
- Cycle: Use a gentle cycle to prevent the fabric from becoming overly wrinkled during the wash.
Drying & Ironing
- Do Not Tumble Dry: To keep the oversized silhouette and the soft hand-feel intact, air-dry your poplin items. Hang them on a hanger immediately after washing to let gravity help pull out any wrinkles.
- Ironing: If you prefer a crisp, sharp look, iron your Sahej shirts or trousers at low heat. For the best results, iron the fabric while it is still slightly damp.
The Sahej collection is designed with a relaxing, oversized fit. To keep the embroidered BONGUSTA logo looking sharp, we recommend ironing the garment on the reverse side.
