Ocean & Earth Ladies Waffle Hooded Poncho

How to keep your waffle poncho in top shape

• Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and wash the poncho with similar colors. Avoid bleach, as it can damage the cotton fibers and fade the color.
• Drying: Air drying on a hanger or drying rack is best for the cotton and preserves the soft waffle texture. If you use a tumble dryer, always choose a low heat setting, and avoid leaving the poncho in strong direct sunlight for long periods at a time.
• Ironing: Iron at low heat if needed, and avoid applying direct heat to the fringe along the edge.
• Storage: Hang the poncho up to dry after use instead of leaving it damp in your bag, and fold it only once it is completely dry. Store it in a dry, ventilated place so the fabric stays fresh and comfortable season after season.
