At SusRebel, we believe in empowering change through sustainable fashion. Our garments are crafted with care and designed to make a statement, and we want to ensure they last as long as possible while minimising their environmental impact. Your wardrobe deserves love, and so does our planet. By caring for your SusRebel pieces in an eco-friendly way, you’re contributing to a global shift towards conscious living. Every choice counts—and here’s how you can make a difference.

🌱 General Eco-Conscious Care Principles

Wash Cold
Washing at 30°C uses up to 60% less energy than higher temperatures, saving power and protecting delicate fabrics from damage.

Eco-Friendly Detergents
Choose phosphate-free, biodegradable detergents to reduce harmful chemicals in our water systems.

Air Dry
Tumble drying can shorten garment life by up to 50%. Air drying not only extends longevity but also reduces energy usage.

Protect Prints
Turn garments inside out before washing to preserve designs and minimise wear on prints.

Efficiency
Washing full loads saves water and energy, reducing your laundry’s carbon footprint.

👕 Product-Specific Instructions

T-Shirts

• Machine wash cold with similar colours to avoid bleeding.
• Use a gentle cycle and air dry flat to maintain shape.
• Iron inside out on medium heat for a crisp finish.

Recycled Material Jumpers

• Wash separately the first time to prevent colour transfer.
• Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the integrity of the recycled fibres.
• Reshape while damp and store on padded hangers to maintain structure.

Accessories

• Hand wash in cold water to prevent damage to delicate fabrics.
• Air dry in the shade to avoid fading from sunlight.
• Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.

♻️ Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions

Spot Clean
Use diluted white vinegar to tackle stains without harsh chemicals.

Natural Stain Removal
Lemon juice and sunlight are natural bleaching agents for stubborn marks.

Odour Neutralisation
Baking soda is a gentle yet powerful odour remover.

Freshen Up
A light vodka spray can refresh garments between washes.

🗂️ Storage and Longevity Tips

• Store garments in a cool, dry space away from sunlight to prevent fading and wear.
• Use cedar blocks instead of chemical moth repellents to keep pests at bay naturally.
• Fold heavy items like jumpers to avoid stretching when hung.
• Ensure ventilation between garments to prevent musty odours.

Repair, Don’t Replace
Mend small holes or tears to extend the life of your garments.
