How to Care for a MoonRib Cropped Tank Top

Quick answer

Wash your MoonRib cropped tank in cold water on a gentle cycle, then lay it flat to dry to preserve the ribbed texture and fitted shape.

How to care for your MoonRib cropped tank

1. Turn the tank inside out: Before washing, turn the tank inside out. This protects the outer ribbed surface from friction against other clothes. Common mistake: washing right-side out can cause pilling on the visible fabric.
2. Use cold water and a gentle cycle: Set your machine to cold water and the gentle or delicate cycle. Add a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down cotton fibers. Hot water can shrink the cotton blend and distort the fitted shape.
3. Lay flat to dry: After washing, gently reshape the tank while damp and lay it flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Never wring or twist the fabric. Do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can shrink the ribbed knit.
4. Store folded, not hung: Fold the tank and place it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging a cropped ribbed top can stretch the shoulders and hem over time. If you must hang it, use a padded hanger and fold the body over the bar to reduce weight on the straps.
