How to care for an apron so it stays soft and neat for a long time

Most people put an apron on when they start cooking and take it off when everything is done. Then it ends up on a chair or in the laundry basket until it is needed again. That is how the fabric tires fastest. Recycled cotton with microfibre is comfortable and easy to care for, but it prefers a gentle routine rather than constant hot washes and drying until fully dry.

When to wash

Wash the apron when grease, sauces or an unpleasant smell remain after heavy cooking. For everyday use, once a week or every two weeks is often enough, depending on how often you cook. If you have two, one is always clean while the other is being washed. That way the fabric is not overloaded and stays soft longer.

How to wash

A gentle cycle at around 30–40 degrees works best. Use a mild detergent without bleach or strong enzymes. Wash the apron with similar fabrics, not with heavy towels or jeans that rub against it. Close fastenings and pockets before washing so nothing gets caught.

Drying and ironing

Air drying in the shade is best. If you use a dryer, choose low heat and take the apron out while it is still slightly damp. Over-drying makes the fabric rougher. Ironing is not necessary. A light pass on low heat from the inside helps keep the shape, but most people simply hang it up and let the fabric smooth itself out.

How to store

When the apron is not in use, it is better to hang it than to stuff it in a drawer. That way it wrinkles less and dries faster if it was damp. Do not leave napkins or small items in the pockets, as they can leave marks or distort the fabric.

If the old apron’s fabric is already rough or the colour looks tired, a new one is easy to choose in the Savas Home aprons. Gentle care helps it stay soft and neat longer, so every cooking moment feels more pleasant.

Miten huolehdit esiliinasta, jotta se pysyy pehmeänä ja siistinä pitkään

Useimmat vetävät esiliinan päälle, kun alkavat laittaa ruokaa, ja riisuvat sen, kun kaikki on valmista. Sitten se päätyy tuolille tai pyykkikoriin, kunnes sitä taas tarvitaan. Juuri näin kangas väsyy nopeimmin. Kierrätetty puuvilla mikrokuidun kanssa on mukava ja helppohoitoinen, mutta se pitää lempeästä käsittelystä, ei jatkuvasta kuumasta pesusta ja täysin kuivaksi kuivaamisesta.
