Gentle Wash
Gently wash in cool water with a mild soap. Thoroughly rinse in the water of the same temperature. Do not agitate.

Towel Dry
While supporting the weight of the wet garment lay it on a dry towel. Ease the garment back into shape and roll up in the towel. Press to remove excess water and repeat this step with a second dry towel.

Fold Carefully
Once the garment is dry you will want to fold it carefully, avoiding a center crease. Lay flat in a drawer or on a closet shelf.
