Care for Your Naturally Dyed Garments
Natural dyes carry their own charm — no two garments are ever exactly the same. Subtle shade variations are natural, not defects
Care:
-
Preferable to hand wash or gentle machine wash cold
-
Wash inside out
-
Use mild, pH-neutral detergent, do not bleach
-
It’s normal for naturally dyed garments to bleed some color in first few washes
-
Wash separately or with like colors
-
Air dry in the shade only
-
Natural dyes are sensitive to direct sunlight
-
Avoid tumble dry
-
Natural dyes don’t always require washing after every wear
-
Wash less often. Air out in the shade to freshen
Important tip:
-
Avoid direct contact with citric fruits like lemon, oranges, and vinegar that can bleach or damage natural dyes
-
Store away from direct light to prevent fading
-
Iron on low if needed
Let your garment age beautifully!
