When washing clothes made of synthetic materials, such as fleece, it is especially important to prevent the spread of microfibres in the water by using a laundry bag.
Air clothes instead of washing, if the clothes are not too dirty. You save water, energy and it makes the clothes last longer.
Feel free to use a laundry bag. It protects your garments and prevents microfibers from leaking out. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe clean and dispose of lint in the bin. Never rinse the laundry bag with water as the fibers can then end up in lakes and oceans.
Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees.
Wash with mild environmentally certified detergents and be sure to use the correct dosage.
Avoid fabric softener. In addition to being bad for the environment, it impairs the garment's ability to transport moisture and inhibits the quick-drying properties.
Do not tumble dry, it wears out both the clothes and the environment unnecessarily. Most synthetic garments dry quickly anyway.
Hang dry.
