Care Instructions for Embroidered Clothing

Taking care of your embroidered clothing properly ensures it remains vibrant and lasts for years. Follow these steps to keep your pieces looking their best:

1. Washing Guidelines

• Hand Wash Preferred: To preserve the embroidery, hand wash your garment in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently swirl the item in water—avoid scrubbing or wringing.
• Machine Wash (Delicate): If you must machine wash, turn the garment inside out, place it in a mesh laundry bag, and use the gentle cycle with cold water. Always use a mild detergent.
• Avoid Bleach: Bleach and other harsh chemicals can damage the fabric and threads. Stick to color-safe, gentle detergents.

2. Drying

• Air Dry: Lay the item flat on a clean towel to dry. Avoid hanging it as the weight of the water may stretch the fabric.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Drying in direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Choose a shaded spot to air dry.
• No Tumble Drying: Avoid using a dryer, as the heat can shrink the fabric and cause the embroidery threads to fray or become misshapen.

3. Ironing

• Low Heat: If ironing is necessary, always turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting. Avoid ironing directly on the embroidery.
• Use a Cloth Barrier: Place a thin cloth over the embroidery and press lightly to protect the threads from direct heat.

4. Storage

• Flat or Folded: Store embroidered garments flat or folded neatly to avoid creasing the embroidery. If hanging is necessary, use padded hangers to minimize strain on the fabric.
• Avoid Storing in Damp Areas: Keep your garment in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as they can trap moisture, leading to mildew.

5. Spot Cleaning

• Gentle Dabbing: If you need to remove a stain, gently dab the spot with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid vigorous scrubbing, which can distort the embroidery.

By following these care instructions, your embroidered clothing will remain beautiful and durable for years to come. Enjoy your unique piece!
