Cotton
Cotton is an easy-care, breathable natural fibre and a Blue Bungalow favourite for everyday wear.
When caring for cotton clothing, we recommend washing in cold to warm water on a gentle cycle to help maintain colour and shape. Line dry or tumble dry on low, and use a warm iron if needed for a crisp, smooth finish.
Known for its softness, durability and comfort, cotton fabric is ideal for everyday garments and remains one of the most popular and versatile fibres for long-lasting wardrobes.
Crinkle Cotton
Crinkle cotton is a lightweight, breathable fabric designed to be worn with texture. The more relaxed sister of regular cotton is designed to be worn with a crush look.
Wash crinkle cotton garments in cold water on a gentle cycle and line dry. We recommend storing crinkle cotton garments twisted to enhance the crinkle look. It can be ironed if you are after a smooth style.
Easy to care for and travel-friendly, crinkle cotton is a low-maintenance wardrobe staple.
Linen
Linen is a breathable natural fibre known for its relaxed summer look and lightweight feel.
For linen care, wash in cold to warm water on a gentle cycle, then line dry or tumble dry on low. Linen is prone to crushing so we recommend using a warm iron if you prefer a smoother finish.
Linen softens with every wash and is perfect for warm weather dressing.
Bamboo
Bamboo fabric is naturally soft, breathable and gentle on the skin. It is also well-loved for its hypoallergenic qualties
To care for bamboo clothing, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and line dry in the shade. You can use a cool iron if needed; however, the smooth and weighted feel make it quite crush-resistant.
Bamboo is loved for its comfort and moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for hot climates!
Rayon
Rayon is a soft, lightweight fabric known for its smooth feel and beautiful drape.
When caring for rayon clothing, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid wringing and line dry in the shade to help maintain shape and prevent shrinkage.
Rayon is light and comfortable to wear, making it a popular choice for everyday styles. When used in a blend rayon will often take on the qualities of the blended material.
Micro Modal
Micro modal is a fine, premium fibre made from beechwood pulp, loved for its exceptional softness, breathability and smooth feel against the skin.
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can impact the fibre over time. Line dry in the shade and avoid tumble drying.
Micro modal is quick to dry, crush resistant and easy to pack, making it an ideal low-maintenance fabric for travel and everyday wear.
Silk
Silk is a delicate natural fibre with a luxurious feel and elegant drape. It is one of our favourite fabrics for event dressing due to its elevated look.
When caring for silk clothing, we recommend a cold hand wash using a silk-safe detergent. Do not soak or wring. Dry flat in the shade and cool iron on the reverse if needed.
Proper care helps silk maintain its softness and sheen.
Wool
Wool is a natural, temperature-regulating fibre that offers warmth without bulk.
To care for wool garments, use a cold hand wash or wool cycle with a wool-safe detergent. Dry flat in the shade and avoid tumble drying to help maintain shape. Wool can stretch overtime so we recommend to store folded, rather than using hangers.
Wool is breathable, insulating and ideal for cooler seasons.
Denim
Denim is a durable, hard-wearing fabric designed to last. It is simple to style and is a true wardrobe staple!
For denim care, wash garments inside out in cold water and wash separately to reduce colour transfer. Line dry and warm iron if required. Denim doesn't need frequent washing so can be spot cleaned and aired out between wears.
Denim will naturally soften and fade over time, adding to its character and comfort.
Answering Your Frequntly Asked Questions
1. Gentle Cycle: Use the gentle cycle on your washing machine or hand-wash to protect delicate fibers.
2. Cold Water: Wash with cold water to prevent shrinking and color fading.
3. Mild Detergent: Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent to avoid harsh chemicals that can damage fabrics
4. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fabric and cause discoloration.
1. Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to avoid colours from fading.
2. Avoid Heat: Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric and cause shrinkage.
1. TAKE QUICK ACTION – The sooner a stain is treated, the better. Ideally, all stains should be treated within the first 24 hours. A stain will become permanent if left untreated for too long.
2. BLOT & SCRAPE – Blot up any excess liquid with a paper towel or clean white cloth. Scrape solids from the fabric if the stain is dry. Try to remove as much excess as possible.
3. DO NOT APPLY HEAT – Do not apply heat of any kind to stained fabric. Heat can “set” stains. Before ironing, pressing, or drying a garment in a dryer, check that the fabric is completely free of stains.
4. TEST THE FABRIC – Before attempting to remove a stain, test the stain removal agent on an inside seam or hidden area of the garment to make sure it doesn’t damage the fabric. Sometimes the stain removal agent may damage the fabric more than the stain itself.
