Indigo dyeing, in particular, takes some time for the color to set. For the first one or two washes, or when lightly soiled such as after sweating, gently hand wash with water only. We have set the color, so it will gradually settle. ◎ Gentle hand washing at home is recommended. When washing at home, gently hand wash separately in water or lukewarm water (around 30°C) mixed with a well-dissolved neutral detergent (e.g., detergents for delicate clothing like Acron or Emal). Rinse gently twice, remove excess water with a towel, and dry in the shade. (The entire process should take about 2-3 minutes). ◎ Please avoid using washing machines, dryers, or bleach. Iron at a medium temperature with a pressing cloth. ◎ As plant dyes are natural, the color will gradually change with prolonged exposure to sunlight, citrus juices, sweat, and the passage of time. ◎ If left folded in a bright place for an extended period, the folded areas may become sun-faded. When not in use, please store in a dark place such as a box or drawer. ◎ For long-term storage of wool or silk products, it is advisable to store them with desiccants and unscented moth repellents.
