Washing instructions for naturally dyed clothes
Here are some tips to care for your naturally dyed clothes:
- For minor stains, try spot cleaning instead of washing the entire garment too often. It's gentler and better for the environment.
- Freshen up your clothes by hanging them outside in the fresh air instead of washing them frequently.
- When washing, opt for hand washing in cool water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent. If using a washing machine, choose a gentle cycle with a slow spin. Keep brights, lights, and darks separate to avoid any potential dye transfer from synthetic dyes.
- Dry your clothes in the shade to prevent colours from fading due to sunlight exposure.
- For stains, soak the affected area in cool water with a bit of washing liquid before washing. This helps loosen the particles.
- To preserve colours, wash your garments inside out, separately, and promptly remove them from the washing machine after the cycle finishes.
