When washing the garment by hand, first dissolve the detergent in the water to prevent agitating the wet wool. After soaking, gently swish the water through the garment. Rinse with cool water until the detergent is gone and the water runs mostly clear.

Rinse with warm water until the detergent is gone and the water runs mostly clear. Viscose garments are also suitable for machine wash, but at a maximum temperature of 40°C on a gentle washing cycle. Only fill up half of the machine drum, since a full load of viscose garments is more likely to crease. Remove the clothes from the machine as soon as the cycle is finished.
Dry: Do not tumble dry viscose items. Put the garment on a non-rusting hanger when still damp, or lay flat to dry. Reshape the garment while still damp.
