All of our products have simplified care information in their listings!
In general, you can follow these steps to keep all of your clothes and accessories looking new for longer:
Know when to wash
Only wash if it smells, has sweat stains, or you spill something on it.
- Avoid sweat stains by wearing undershirts you don’t care about
- Avoid smells by wearing only during low energy activities and avoiding use in an active kitchen
Washing
Wash on a delicate cycle in cool water with like colours and materials.
- Washing delicate fabrics with rugged fabrics can damage the more delicate fabrics
Use fabric softener.
- It acts like a moisturizer, reducing friction during the wash and wrinkles post wash
DO NOT bleach and avoid heavy detergents where possible.
- Bleach only works for solid whites but can also cause them to yellow
Drying
Hang dry everything except knitwear. Knitwear will stretch and sag if hung so flat lay instead. It’s better for your clothes, the environment, and your wallet!
We recommend avoiding drying machines but if you decide to tumble dry, do so with low heat only and use dryer balls.
- Dryer balls are basically the fabric softener equivalent for the drying cycle
- If you don't have dryer balls you can use dryer sheets instead
Dry immediately after washing to prevent wrinkles and bad smells.

We do! We had some trouble with PayPal withholding funds on pre-orders since their policies explicitly forbid PayPal as a payment method for pre-ordered items with expected delivery times over 21 days.
If PayPal is disabled, you may be trying to use it during a pre-order in which case, you'll have no luck. If not, send us a message! We may have forgotten to turn it back on. 😅

If you plan on returning any of your items, make sure to keep the original packaging for your return.
Otherwise, all black mailers are fully compostable (including the transparent seal)! Throw them into your compost bin worry-free. For cardboard boxes and paper envelopes, recycle them with your other paper waste or reuse them!

While we appreciate your love for Carmico pattern designs, there are many reasons why it doesn't make sense for us to add printed fabric to the growing list of Carmico goods. The three main reasons are:
- it jeopardizes our relationship with our manufacturers
- there isn't enough demand to justify ordering and stocking rolls of fabric
- it would change the nature of our business (tax and legal stuff 🤕)
