Natural Dye Care

Naturally dyed garments are sensitive to sun exposure and washing methods. To ensure colorfastness, do not dry or store in direct contact with the sun. Wash with a pH-neutral detergent in cool water. Natural dyes are sensitive to pH levels, so using a harsh detergent may affect the color. Hang dry. 

Natural materials fade more than synthetics because the dye is added during dyeing.  

To help preserve color on your item: 

  • Wash similar colors together 
  • Wash in cold water 
  • Turn clothes inside out to avoid friction 
  • Avoid overloading washing machine
  • Use a short wash and gentle cycle 
  • Using liquid detergent is more favorable
