Fabric - Crinkle Rayon
Crinkle rayon is a delicate fabric that requires careful handling to maintain its texture and longevity. Here are the recommended care instructions:
-
Hand Wash/Cold Wash: Wash the fabric in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid hot water, as it can shrink the fabric.
-
No Rubbing or Scrubbing: Gently swirl the fabric in the water without scrubbing or wringing, as this can damage the texture.
-
Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals on crinkle rayon as it can weaken the fibers and fade the color.
-
Dry Flat: Lay the garment flat to dry in its natural shape, away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent shrinking and damage.
-
Avoid Ironing: Crinkle rayon is designed to have a textured appearance. Avoid ironing, as it can flatten the fabric's natural crinkle. If necessary, use a cool iron and place a cloth over the fabric to prevent direct heat.
-
Steam if Needed: If the fabric needs refreshing, gently steam it without pulling or stretching, maintaining the crinkled texture.
-
Store Carefully: Store crinkle rayon by folding it loosely or hanging it without crushing the fabric. Avoid placing heavy items on top to maintain the fabric's shape.
By following these steps, you can keep your crinkle rayon garments looking fresh and in good condition.
