Wash
Keep the washing of your viscose garments to a minimum. Washing it too much can cause the fabric to break and tear.
Stains should be treated before the garment is washed for the best results.
Loading your washing machine to the brim, might seem like the most responsible way to wash garments. But, by doing so, you risk damaging the products inside. So, fill your machine but make sure not to overload it.
30 degrees is often enough to clean viscose garments, but make sure to always consult the care label. Remember that the listed temperature is the highest and not recommended temperature.
If washed incorrectly, viscose can shrink.
Dry
Viscose and lyocell tend to wrinkle. Hang your garment out to dry to protect your garment and save energy. Tumble-drying can lead to the garment shrinking, tearing and breaking.
Make sure it is put into the intended shape before it is hung to dry.
Store
Viscose and lyocell have a tendency to wrinkle. It is therefore a good idea to store them on a hanger in well-spaced cabinet.
Iron & steam
Iron or steam your product when it is still damp and turned inside out.
If your garment has shrunk when it was washed, ironing it can be a good way to reverse some shrinkage.

Stains
Always treat the garment before washing, for the best chances of removing the stain.

Resist the urge to rub the stain, as this will only make matters worse and damage the fabric.
