1.  HAND WASH COLD

RECOMMENDED

Maintaining the soft, luxurious feel of your rayon shirt is crucial, and hand washing is the perfect solution. Unlike machine washing, which can cause fibers to weaken over time, hand washing helps maintain the shirt's structural integrity. By avoiding harsh detergents and controlling the washing process, you minimize the risk of fraying, shrinking, or other forms of damage. Embrace the gentle touch of hand washing, and enjoy your favorite rayon shirt for many summers to come."

  GENTLE CYCLES WITH LIKE COLORS

For a balance between convenience and care, you can opt to wash your rayon summer shirt in the washing machine's cold gentle cycle with colors.

Line Dry

To maintain the integrity and shape of your rayon summer shirt, line drying is highly recommended. Rayon is a delicate fabric that can be sensitive to heat and mechanical agitation, which makes the gentle nature of line drying ideal. However, it's important to note that if you wash your rayon shirt by hand, ensure it is not soaked in water before hanging it to dry. Excess water can cause stretching and distortion. Instead, gently squeeze out the water and then carefully hang your shirt to dry, allowing air to naturally circulate around it for the best results

• Do not wring or twist your Helios Summer Shirt to remove excess water after hand washing. Instead, gently squeeze out the water to prevent stretching and distortion
• Use a padded hanger or lay your Helios Summer Shirt flat to dry to maintain its shape and prevent the fabric from stretching or developing wrinkles
• Keep your rayon shirt away from direct sunlight while drying to prevent fading and damage to the fabric

Why Ironing is a No-Go

Ironing and rayon fabric do not make a good match. The high heat of an iron can cause the delicate fibers of your rayon shirt to warp, melt, or become discolored. It's crucial to handle your rayon shirt with care to maintain its softness and appearance. Instead of ironing, consider using alternative methods like steaming or hanging the shirt in a steamy environment to gently release wrinkles.

other alternatives

• Steamer-free solution: Hang your Helios Shirt in a steamy bathroom.
• Hang with weight: Hang your shirt with a heavy hanger or clip weights at the bottom to help pull out wrinkles

Ditch the Dryer

While tumble drying may seem like a convenient option, it's important to resist the temptation when it comes to your rayon summer shirt. The combination of high heat and mechanical agitation in dryers can be too harsh for delicate rayon fibers, leading to shrinkage, distortion, or even fabric damage. To maintain the quality and longevity of your shirt, choose alternative drying methods. Lay it flat to air dry or hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight

Preserve the Beauty and Avoid Bleaching

If you encounter a stain on your Helios Summer Shirt, it's crucial to resist the temptation to use bleach. Bleach can have harsh effects on rayon fabric, causing color fading, weakening of fibers, and compromising the overall quality of your shirt. Instead, opt for safer stain removal methods such as using gentle detergents, enzyme-based stain removers, or seeking professional advice. By avoiding bleach, you ensure that your rayon shirt remains vibrant, soft, and free from any unintended damage
