CARE INSTRUCTIONS
What do you need? Step by step
You Need:
- Warm or cold water.
- A bucket, bowl or sink.
- Clean and light colored towel.
Steps:
1.- Once you have the above items, fill your bucket, bowl, or sink with warm water and detergent.
2.- Immerse your pants in the water and turn them gently to distribute the detergent.
3.- Allow the pants to soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Do not leave the pants on for more than 20 minutes, as excessive soaking can affect the fabric.
4.- Once the pants have been soaked, shake them for up to 3 minutes. Note that the length of time depends on how dirty your pants are.
5.- After turning, take off your pants and change the soapy water to clean fresh water.
- Immerse the pants again to rinse them, gently pressing the pants onto the sides of the bucket or bowl. Repeat the rinsing process up to 2 times if the pants appear to be soapy.
6.- Remove the pants from the water and gently squeeze them to remove excess water. Lay the pants on a clean towel and press / squeeze to remove even more water.
7.- Hang the pants in a shady area to dry.
Why should I wash my Elepanta pants by hand?
Elepanta pants are breathable due to the soft and light fabric, but washing the pants in a washing machine risks damaging and / or tearing this fabric. Actually, hot water can shrink your pants, so we recommend using warm or cold water to keep your pants original shape.
Don't worry, stains and dirt will be removed without hot water! Just remember that the delicate nature of the fabric requires gentle care.
Why do I need to dry my Elepanta pants away from sunlight?
Each pair of pants is authentically crafted with vibrant colors and intricate detailing. Drying your pants in the sun may seem tempting, but strong sunlight can fade the colors of the fabric and ultimately reduce the life of your pants.
This process sounds slow. Is there a way to dry my pants quickly?
The bamboo rayon and natural cotton of our Elepanta Pants allows them to air dry quickly. The process may seem slow, but once you try it you will find that it is simple, fast and best for your pants. You can even start washing other clothes this way!
Should I use a specific type of detergent?
Elepanta pants are ecological. To support this effort, we recommend using organic laundry detergent soap, as it does not contain potentially harmful ingredients such as phosphate, chlorine and other additives. This detergent is also ecological and gentle on the skin.
OUR MISSION: SAVE THE ELEPHANTS
HOW WE HELP
Through strategic partnerships with organizations dedicated to making the world a better place for elephants, we ensure that a portion of each sale goes to help create a sustainable future where elephants thrive. By aligning ourselves with localized and global grassroots operations, our goal is to make a difference for elephants everywhere.
While each elephant herd faces its own unique challenges, the tactics necessary to overcome them have one thing in common: humans working together. With partners where elephants are, our goal is to use our inspiring products and lifestyle as a vehicle for real change.
Save Elephant Foundation and Save The Elephants support and connect the people who provide the most promising solutions to the crisis facing wildlife in Africa and South Asia.
GIVEBACK TO THE WORLD
WHY WE HELP
An estimated 7-10 million African elephants roamed the African continent, while around 200,000 Asian elephants lived in the forests and grasslands of South Asia. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and human conflict, both populations have declined severely. Between 2015 and 2019 alone, an estimated 100,000 elephants were poached for ivory. That's a loss of elephants every 15 minutes, a 50% decrease in population in the last 35 years. Approximately 400,000 elephants remain in Africa free and less than 40,000 Asian elephants.
The high rate of elephant deaths combined with its incredibly long gestation period (22 months) could lead to a world without elephants by 2050. With people being the # 1 cause of this constant population decline, we believe it is our duty. do what we can to end it. Together, we can create a sustainable future where elephants thrive.
