A Friendly Reminder: Do Not Blanch Your Sun-Dried Underwear



Sorry for the fuzzy pic; I am laaaaazzzy and didn't feel like plugging in the scanner.


Special cares

  • Do not leave soaking

  • Wash separately

  • Do not use blanch or soap with blanch

  • Do not twist

  • Avoid contact with rough superficies

  • Dried out of the sun

  • Do not iron
