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.
• Hand washing is recommended but if you are going to machine wash, to preserve colours, wash your garments inside out, separately, and promptly remove them from the washing machine after the cycle finishes.
