Taking Care Of Your ANKARA Clothing

Don't you just hate it when your Ankara clothes begin to fade? Yuck! We all do. Well here are some tips on how to care for your Ankara.
1. Your Ankara clothes can be either hand washed or machine washed, personally I prefer it hand washed as washing machines can be extremely rough on the clothing you put inside it.
2. Do not wash your Ankara in hot water; it will only cause it to fade.
3. Avoid using detergents or acidic soaps on your Ankara, rather use quality bar soap/mild soap.
4. Do not soak your Ankara in water for more than you need to, to avoid the weakening of its fibers.
5. Only launder your Ankara clothes when necessary so as to prolong its lifespan.
6.  Sometimes we just can't avoid stains, try using baking soda or some other alternative that is not harsh as bleach to get rid of stains.
7. After washing allow to dry properly before ironing.
8. Heat can cause your Ankara to easily fade, it is best to iron on the wrong side (from the inside).
9. The Ankara is very durable and will stand the test of time but being wax, it will eventually begin to slightly fade.
