Keep the Beauty Alive: How to Care for Your Embroidered Clothes
A hand-embroidered garment from Gaani Art is more than just clothing; it's a piece of wearable art, crafted with hours of meticulous care. To ensure that your treasured piece remains as beautiful as the day you received it, a little bit of special attention is required.
Proper care is essential for these delicate items. Hand-embroidered clothes need care to protect the intricate threadwork and preserve the richness of the fabric's color. Following these simple steps will ensure your garment lasts for years to come.
The Gentle Wash: Hand-Washing Instructions
Machine washing can be too harsh, causing threads to snag and colors to fade. For the best results, it is best to wash them by hand in cold water.
Prepare the Water: Fill a clean basin with cold water and add a small amount of a mild soap or gentle detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Wash Gently: Submerge the garment and gently swirl it in the soapy water. Do not scrub the embroidery directly, as this can damage the delicate threads. If you need to clean a specific spot, gently work the soap into the fabric around the embroidered area.
Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and rinse the garment with clean, cold water until all the soap is gone.
The Careful Dry: Preserving Shape and Color
The drying process is just as important as the washing. Never wring out or twist an embroidered garment, as this can stretch the fabric and distort the delicate patterns.
Remove Excess Water: To dry, carefully lift the garment from the water. Roll the item in a clean, thick towel and gently press to absorb the extra water.
Lay Flat to Dry: Unroll the garment and lay it flat in the shade on a fresh, dry towel or a flat drying rack. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade.
This simple routine helps the piece keep its shape and color for a long time. By taking these few extra moments, you are preserving the craftsmanship and artistry woven into your Gaani Art treasure, ensuring it can be a part of your story for many years to come.
