HOW DO I CARE FOR MY FLEECE THROW?
All our tips for washing your plaid at home, and keeping it for years to come
Your fleece rugis designed for maximum comfort and warmth, while being easy to care for. Here are a few tips to preserve its softness and quality, wash after wash:
Good news! Your fleece throw can be machine-washed without a hitch. Opt for a delicate program at 30°C, with a small amount of detergent and, above all, without fabric softener. Fabric softener tends to weigh down the fleece fibers and reduce its ability to retain heat.
After washing, you have two options for drying:
Air dry: Lay your plaid flat on a drying rack or terry towel, away from any source of direct heat. Let it dry gently, and it will regain all its softness and fluffiness.
Tumble dry: If you're in a hurry, you can use the tumble dryer, but sparingly! A quick tumble at low temperature is all it takes to restore volume to the fibers. Be careful, however: excessive tumble-drying can amplify the phenomenon of static electricity.
FAUX FURS: HOW TO CLEAN THEM PROPERLY?
Care for your faux fur plaids to keep them forever
Your faux fur rug is an investment! So, to preserve its incomparable beauty and softness, proper care is essential. To wash your plaid at home, opt for a delicate, cold cycle, without fabric softener. Cold water will preserve the fibers and color of your plaid, while the absence of fabric softener will prevent it from becoming heavier and less soft.
To further preserve the quality of your faux fur plaidAvoid washing it too often. Air it regularly and brush it gently to remove dust and debris.
HOW TO WASH YOUR WOOL PLAID
Your woollen throw: a treasure chest of softness to cherish
Your wool plaidfrom our made in France collection is a treasure trove of softness and warmth. To preserve its natural beauty and exceptional qualities for many years to come, here are a few valuable care tips.
When your throw needs cleaning, opt for a machine wash at 30°C maximum, using a wool or delicate cycle and a detergent specially formulated for wool. This will preserve the wool's delicate fibers and keep it soft and supple.
Forget the tumble dryer! The intense heat could damage the wool fibers and deform your throw. Instead, air-dry flat on a terry towel, away from any source of direct heat. Patience is required, but your plaid will thank you by retaining its original shape and beauty.

Linen care specifics:
Before using for the first time, soak your fouta linen fouta in cold water for a few hours. This will soften the fibers and improve its absorbency. Linen tends to wrinkle easily. For best results, air-dry flat or on a hanger.

Your cotton fouta can withstand washing at higher temperatures (up to 60°C) if required. You can use fabric softener if you wish, but sparingly. Too much fabric softener can reduce the absorbency of cotton.
