How to look after your Morrows

Washing and Drying

Bamboo viscose is both strong and gentle. It loves water, but too much heat or the wrong detergents can shorten its life. Here’s how to keep it flowing:

• Keep the temperature right. Wash in cool or warm water (30 °C / 86 °F). This is warm enough to lift marks and refresh the fabric but not so hot that the fibres lose strength or shape.

• Choose the gentle path. Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle. If you use a machine, place your Morrows in a mesh bag to protect them from rubbing against zippers, buttons, or rough fabrics.

• Use safe detergents. Pick a mild, pH-neutral detergent or an oxygen-based stain remover. These work well on natural fibres without weakening them.

• Avoid harsh liquids. Many “fast-acting” or “triple-action” stain removers contain enzymes, anionic or nonionic surfactants, or suspending agents. These are too strong for prints and can even break down the bamboo fibres over time.

• Dry naturally. Skip the tumble dryer. Instead, press out excess water gently, reshape the garment, and lay it flat in the shade. Direct heat and sunlight can age natural fabrics faster.

When you wash your Morrows this way, you’ll notice the fabric stays smooth, soft, and drapey. Each piece comes back to life ready for another day.

Stain Rescue

Life is full of spills and splashes, and your wardrobe should keep up. Bamboo and prints can be cleaned easily if you act with care:

• Light marks: A baby wipe or a soft cloth with cool water can lift most everyday spots. Dab, don’t rub.

• Tough stains (like coffee, wine, or oil): Rinse quickly with lukewarm water, then apply a paste made with oxygen-based stain remover diluted in water. Leave for 15 minutes, then wash at 30 °C / 86 °F on a gentle cycle.

Why this works: oxygen-based stain removers clean by releasing oxygen bubbles that break down colour molecules in the stain. They don’t attack the bamboo fibres or the print layer the way harsh chemical boosters do.

Caring for Prints

Our prints are swimwear-grade quality. Under normal care, they last longer than the fabric itself. But just like your skin reacts differently to sun or skincare products, prints respond differently depending on the detergent you use.

• Safe cleaners. Gentle, oxygen-based stain removers are best. Look for ingredients like oxygen, sodium percarbonate, or colour-safe bleach on the label.

• Risky cleaners. Avoid concentrated liquid stain removers with enzyme boosters, strong surfactants, or suspending agents. These are often sold as “power stain” or “stain destroyer” products. They can soften the print binder, leaving it sticky or rubbery.

• Gentle touch. Never scrub or rub the print directly. Instead, blot stains and let the right detergent do the work.

• Heat caution. Don’t iron directly over prints. Use a steamer if you want to refresh them.

When you follow these steps, your prints will stay crisp, colourful, and beautiful — ready to travel and flow with you.

Storing & Refreshing

Your Morrows are designed to fit your life — whether you’re rolling them into a bag for a trip or keeping your wardrobe light and simple at home.

• For travel: Roll your garments instead of folding. Rolling saves space and prevents wrinkles. When you unroll them, they fall back into shape, ready to wear.

• At home: Store in a cool, dry place. Bamboo viscose is naturally mould-resistant, so your clothes will stay fresh without much effort.

Because bamboo is a natural, plant-based fibre, it behaves differently from synthetics. It is compostable, which means that if left wet for a long time, it will eventually break down and return to the earth. That’s part of its beauty, it is healthier for you and kinder to the planet.

With normal care, your Morrows will stay soft and flowing for years. Many women choose to refresh their bamboo wardrobe every 2–3 years, guilt-free, knowing they are simply completing the natural cycle: wearing pieces that serve them well, then replacing them with new ones that will do the same.
