Air dry flat or on a padded hanger

Lay knits and stretchy garments flat on a clean dry surface or mesh drying rack. Hang structured items like blouses and dress shirts on padded hangers. Keep everything away from direct heat and sunlight.

Why It Works

Gravity pulls water downward through wet fabric. Hanging a heavy knit sweater on a hanger causes the water weight to stretch it out of shape. Flat drying distributes weight evenly and preserves the garment's form. Structured woven fabrics hold their shape well on hangers. Avoiding direct heat prevents shrinkage and fiber damage.

Tips

• Flip flat-drying items halfway through for even drying
• Place a towel underneath flat-drying items to protect the surface from moisture
• Padded hangers prevent shoulder dimples on structured garments
• Allow 12-24 hours for full air drying, depending on fabric weight and humidity
