Learn how to wash, dry, and iron the ARQ Short Robe in nutmeg to keep its organic cotton soft, smooth, and lasting.
Quick answer
Machine wash your Short Robe in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or line dry. Iron on medium heat if needed, and always check the care label first.
Why care matters for the Short Robe in nutmeg
The ARQ Short Robe is made from mid-weight 100% organic cotton jersey with a dry, smooth hand. This fabric is extremely wash-and-wear-able, but proper care preserves its softness and drape. Without it, the cotton can stiffen or lose its cozy feel over time.
Step-by-step care routine
- Wash in cold water on gentle cycle: Turn the robe inside out and machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Use the gentle cycle to reduce friction that can roughen organic cotton fibers. Avoid hot water—it can shrink the cotton and fade the nutmeg color.
- Dry on low heat or line dry: Tumble dry on low heat to maintain softness, or line dry for a more eco-friendly option. Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles from setting in. High heat can stiffen the jersey and shorten the robe's lifespan.
- Iron on medium heat if needed: If wrinkles appear, iron the robe on medium heat (cotton setting) while slightly damp. Use steam for stubborn creases, but avoid pressing too hard to maintain the fabric's natural drape. Always test a small hidden area first to ensure the iron doesn't leave a shiny mark.
