General Instructions:
Check Labels for Care Details: Inspect your garment's care label for instructions on specific care about the process to be used.
Handle with Care: Silk ikat is delicate; kindly handle with care to avoid damage.
Washing:
Hand Wash: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent or use a gentle cycle on the washing machine. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
Machine Wash: If you have to use a washing machine, do so on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mesh laundry bag to protect the item from damage. Avoid washing Silk Ikat items with other garments that might cause abrasion.
Drying:
Air Dry: Air drying is recommended to prevent high temperatures that may damage the fabrics and to retain their quality.
Avoid Tumble Drying: Avoid using a tumble dryer, as its heat spoils the thin fibers.
Dry the fabric in a shaded area to prevent the colors from fading due to direct sunlight exposure.
Mild Ironing:
Turn the garment inside out to not damage the surface. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric so there is no direct contact with each other. Iron with steady pressure without sliding the iron across the fabric surface, on the lowest possible heat setting. Use steam if available.
