Washing & Drying Tips:
- Frequent washing will wear out a garment faster so if your garment has nothing more than a spill in only one place, simply spot-wash it by hand.
- Use fabric softener when washing your entire garment to prevent static cling.
- Before hanging a garment to dry, shake it lightly to remove some of the wrinkles.
Ironing Tips:
- Our Bahiyyah Arab-Style dress and most abayas will not require ironing if they are left to hang dry but they may be ironed for a neater look.
- For best results use an ironing board and put the garment flat around the board so you are ironing only one layer.
- When ironing abayas or dresses that have a lot of embroidery or diamonds on them, turn the garment inside out and iron the wrong side to get out every wrinkle.
- Always iron your garment by first setting the heat to low. This way, you prevent burning your garment and can always increase the temperature if necessary.
- Hang your garment as soon as you are finished ironing it
General Clothing Care Tips:
- Losing a tassle, button or snap off your garment is never fun. You can prevent this by reinforcing them as soon as you find one that is loose.
- After wearing your abaya or dress, place it on a clothes hanger and hang it outside of your closet to air it out.
