1. Hand Wash or Gentle Machine Wash:
* Hand washing is the gentlest method. Fill a basin with cool to lukewarm water and add a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics.
* Gently agitate the water to create suds.
* Submerge the kimono and gently swirl it in the water, paying attention to any stained areas. Avoid wringing or scrubbing vigorously to prevent damage.
* Rinse thoroughly with cool water until the detergent is completely removed.
* Alternatively, if your washing machine has a delicate or linen setting, you can use it. Be sure to place the kimono in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase to protect it from friction with other garments.
2. Temperature:
* Always use cool to lukewarm water when washing linen. Hot water can cause linen to shrink and lose its shape.
3. Detergent:
* Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals as they can weaken the linen fibers.
4. Wash Separately:
* Wash your linen kimono separately from other garments to prevent snags or color transfer.
5. Gentle Handling:
* Handle the kimono with care, especially when it's wet, as linen becomes more fragile when wet.
6. Dry Naturally:
* Avoid using a tumble dryer as it can shrink and wrinkle linen. Instead, lay the kimono flat on a clean towel and reshape it to its original dimensions.
* Ensure proper ventilation when drying to prevent mildew. Do not hang in direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can cause fading.
7. Ironing:
* Linen naturally wrinkles, and this is part of its charm. If you prefer a smoother look, iron the kimono while it's slightly damp, using a medium to high heat setting on your iron.
8. Storage:
* Store your linen kimono in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging it on wire hangers, as they can stretch the fabric. Instead, use padded or wooden hangers to maintain its shape.
By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your 100% linen kimono remains in excellent condition, allowing you to enjoy its natural beauty and comfort for years to come.
