Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the mudcloth design and colors, we recommend NO WASH ... or dry washing or handwashing in cold water and air drying
Here's how to take care of it:
1. Spot Clean When Possible
Use a damp cloth with cold water and a mild detergent to gently clean small stains. Avoid scrubbing or soaking.
2. Hand Wash Only (if necessary)
If a full wash is needed, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or harsh soaps—these can damage the natural dyes and patterns.
3. Avoid Machine Washing
Washing machines can be too rough and may cause fading or unraveling of handwoven threads.
The agitation also risks smearing the mud-based dyes.
4. Do Not Soak
Prolonged soaking may cause dye bleeding or weaken the fabric.
5. Air Dry Only
Lay flat or hang to dry in indirect sunlight. Direct sun may cause fading.
Do not tumble dry—heat can damage the cloth.
6. Iron Carefully
If needed, iron on the reverse side with a cloth barrier and on a low heat setting.
7. Store with Care
Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
Avoid plastic storage bags—use breathable cotton bags instead.
