• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle, or hand wash for best results.
• Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Wash separately for the first 2-3 washes — slight color bleeding is natural for hand block printed textiles and will settle.
• Turn inside out before washing to protect the printed surface.
• Do not soak for extended periods.

• Line dry in shade. Avoid direct sunlight as it may cause gradual fading of natural dyes.
• Do not tumble dry — the high heat can shrink the cotton fibers and damage the print.
• Shake out gently before hanging to minimize wrinkles.
• Remove from the line while still slightly damp for easier ironing.

• Iron on medium heat (cotton setting) while the fabric is still slightly damp.
• Iron on the reverse side to preserve the vibrancy of the block print.
• Use steam for stubborn wrinkles.
• Avoid ironing directly on printed areas with high heat.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Fold neatly and place in a cotton or muslin bag — avoid plastic bags as they trap moisture.
• Add a sachet of dried lavender or neem leaves to naturally repel insects.
• Refold periodically to prevent permanent crease lines.
