Embroidered clothes and accessories require special care when washing to maintain their appearance. Follow fabric care instructions, but here are some additional tips:
- Hand washing and air drying are gentlest.
- If machine washing, turn the item inside out and avoid washing with items that could damage it.
- Use mild detergent and air dry if possible to prevent shrinking.
- Wash bright colors in cold water to reduce bleeding.
- When ironing, avoid steam and place a pressing cloth over the embroidery or iron on the reverse side.
These quick steps will help preserve your embroidered items!
