Caring for your wax print garment

   

 

WASHING 

• You can hand wash, machine wash or dry clean your wax print garment
• If hand or machine washing, use cold or warm water
• There is no need to use a garment bag
• Fading with hand or machine washing should be minimal, but if you are concerned you can test with swatches

STORAGE

• There is nothing special to note about storing wax prints. You can simply fold and store them with the rest of your garments

PRESSING

• To maintain your wax fabric's crispness over time, we recommend occasionally applying a starch spray when ironing your garment (you can purchase a starch spray at your local Pick 'n Pay)
• Set your iron for the appropriate temperature for cotton, then you are good to go
• It is advisable to iron from the inside of your garment or using an ironing cloth if unsure of your iron settings to avoid damaging your garment
• Extend the lifespan of your garment by hanging your garment to dry, rather than exposing it to the harsh effects of a tumble dryer where possible
