Block printed garments are handcrafted using traditional techniques, making each piece unique. To ensure their longevity and maintain the beauty of the prints, it’s important to follow these specific care steps:

• Hand wash in cold water: To preserve the colors and prints, hand washing in cold water is the best method.
• Machine washing: If machine washing is necessary, use a delicate cycle with cold water. Place the garment in a mesh bag to provide extra protection and minimize friction.
• Use mild detergent: Avoid harsh detergents. Opt for a mild, pH-balanced detergent to protect both the fabric and the prints.
• Do not bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and cause fading.
• Avoid wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water rather than wringing the garment, which can distort the fabric.
• Dry in shade: Direct sunlight may cause the colors to fade. Dry the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
• Iron on reverse: If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a low to medium heat setting to protect the printed surface.
• Avoid dry cleaning: The chemicals used in dry cleaning may affect the print and fabric texture.

By following these steps, you will help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your block printed garments, allowing you to enjoy their beauty for years to come.
