Care Guide

Remo’s pieces are meant to be enjoyed and kept for a lifetime. Here is how to take the best care of your new piece. 

Storing

Clean quilted cotton pieces can ​simply be folded. Store wool pieces clean in a dry place. Put lavender drops on cotton balls and nestle them into the wool to repel moths.

Return & Recycle

If you no longer want your piece, you can return it to us. We will recycle the materials separately or reuse the textiles into new pieces. We take care of the shipping fees and you will get a 10% discount on your next purchase.

Quilted Cotton

remo’s quilted cotton is made from natural fibers only and is manufactured in St-Gall (CH). The organic cotton is GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard – CU 848443) and comes from Germany. Lavalan® wool insulation is made of European sourced virgin wool and a corn based synthetic fiber called polylactic acid (PLA). It is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.

  • Wipe off spills immediately
  • Let air-dry if moist or wet 
  • Hand wash or bring to laundry service (preferably ecological)
  • Hang-dry to preserve fibers and color

    Felted Wool

    remo’s wool comes from Swiss spinning mills valorizing local wool. It is then felted by hand in the studio. Marbled felts are obtained by mixing two different colors of dyed and undyed carded wool.

    remo believes in using what is around, local or underused resources. Wool has amazing properties. It is natural, sustainable and long-lasting, breathable, windbreaker, it protects from cold, insulates heat and naturally repels dirt and water.

    By nature, wool is stain-, odor- and wrinkle-resistant and requires little maintenance.

    • Remove food stains by scraping.
    • Wipe off spills immediately.
    • Let air-dry if moist or wet.
    • Give your piece some fresh air now and then, hanging it outside.
    • Felted wool pieces worn on the skin can be hand-washed if needed.
    • Clean your piece under the shower or above the bath using a soft brush with shampoo or wool detergent.
    • Rinse off the soapy water, place it plain on a towel and leave it to dry.
    • You can use a steam iron at low temperature afterwards, it will smooth the surface of the felt.
    • If pilling happens, use a razor to get rid of it.

    Cleaning in the washing machine is not recommended because the product might shrink and deform and the natural fat content (lanolin) would be affected.

    Dry-cleaning is not recommended because it traditionally uses toxic solvent. A natural alternative is to spot clean the stain with club soda before washing it.
