We’re thrilled to have you wearing our beautifully crafted embroidered pieces. To ensure your new embroidered clothing stays vibrant and intact, follow these care tips:

​

1. Washing Instructions

• Hand Wash Recommended: Hand washing is the gentlest way to preserve the embroidery. Use cold water and mild detergent to avoid harsh chemicals.

• If Using a Washing Machine:

  • Turn the garment inside out to protect the embroidery.

  • Use a delicate or gentle cycle with cold water.

  • Wash embroidered items separately or with similar fabrics to prevent snagging.

2. Drying Tips

• Air Dry Only: Avoid using a dryer, as heat can damage embroidery threads and cause shrinkage. Lay the garment flat on a clean towel to dry.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause colors to fade. Dry in a shaded area.

3. Ironing

• Iron Inside Out: Place a clean cloth over the embroidery to protect the threads and use the lowest heat setting.

• No Steam: Moisture can loosen threads, so stick to dry heat.

4. Storage Advice

• Avoid Folding on Embroidery: Fold the garment so that the embroidery lies flat or is cushioned to prevent creasing.

• Use Breathable Bags: Store embroidered items in breathable garment bags to protect from dust and humidity.

5. Spot Cleaning Stains

• Blot, Don’t Rub: Gently blot stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rubbing can damage the threads and distort the design.

• Test First: Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area before applying to the embroidery.

6. Professional Care

For delicate or heavily embroidered garments, consider professional dry cleaning. Inform your cleaner about the embroidery so they can take extra precautions.

Extra Tips for Longevity

• Avoid Abrasion: Be mindful of backpacks, jewelry, or other items that might rub against the embroidery.

• Use Gentle Products: Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or strong detergents that can weaken threads.

• Inspect Regularly: Check for loose threads and trim them carefully with small scissors.

We take pride in delivering high-quality embroidered products and want them to remain as beautiful as the day you received them. By following these tips, you’ll enjoy your embroidered clothing for years to come!
