Keep your TomboyX TENCEL Modal bralettes and bamboo rib tops soft and long-lasting with these simple wash and dry steps. Learn the right routine for delicate fabrics.
Quick answer
Machine wash your TENCEL Modal bralettes and bamboo rib tops on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild detergent, then lay them flat to air dry to prevent fabric damage and maintain shape.
Why TENCEL Modal and bamboo rib need gentle care
TENCEL Modal fibers and bamboo rib blends are prized for their softness and breathability, but that delicate feel can break down with rough machine cycles or high heat. Harsh detergents and fabric softeners can also strip the fibers, causing pilling and loss of elasticity. A tailored wash routine keeps your All Day Bralette and Bamboo Rib Short Sleeve Tee feeling like new.
When to wash and when to refresh
Bralettes and tops worn close to the skin need washing after each wear if you sweat heavily. For light wear, you can spot-clean the underarm area with a damp cloth and air it out. Over-washing can speed up wear, so let the fabric guide you.
Step-by-step care routine
- 1. Prep the garment: Turn the bralette or top inside out. This protects the outer surface from friction and reduces pilling. Fasten any hooks to prevent snagging. Turn inside out and fasten closures.
- 2. Choose your wash method: Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent for the longest life. If using a machine, place the item in a mesh lingerie bag and select the delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach and fabric softener—they weaken fibers. Always use cold water and a mild detergent; skip softener.
- 3. Rinse and remove excess water: Rinse thoroughly until no suds remain. Gently press the fabric between your palms to remove water—do not wring or twist, as that can distort the ribbed or mesh panels. Press water out; never wring.
- 4. Dry flat, not in the dryer: Lay the item flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the fabric. Keep away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not tumble dry—heat damages the elastic in the chestband and ribbed fibers. Air dry flat; never use a machine dryer.
- 5. Store with care: Fold bralettes and tops rather than hanging them. Hanging can stretch out the straps and neckline over time. Keep them in a drawer to protect the delicate ribbing and mesh. Fold, don't hang.
Product care notes
- All Day Bralette - TENCEL™ Modal Garden Gazing: The All Day Bralette uses TENCEL Modal from renewable beechwood trees and includes a signature stay-put chestband and extra mesh lining for soft support. The chestband and mesh lining need gentle handling to avoid snagging; skip the dryer to preserve the elastic.

All Day Bralette - TENCEL™ Modal Garden Gazing - Bamboo Rib Short Sleeve Tee - Black: The Bamboo Rib Short Sleeve Tee is a ribbed bamboo blend with 4-way stretch for a body-skimming fit. The ribbed texture can flatten if washed in hot water or tumbled dry; cold water and flat drying keep the stretch and shape.
