We recommend hand-washing your Mukhawar/Abaya to preserve its delicate embroidery and embellishments. Gently rinse it in cool water with a mild detergent, and avoid wringing or scrubbing. Lay it flat to dry, and never place it in the dryer to maintain the integrity of the fabric and decorations. Read more.

Machine washing is not recommended due to the delicate nature of the embroidery, pearls, and rhinestones. Hand-washing ensures the longevity of the Mukhawar. If you must machine wash, use a delicate or hand-wash cycle in a garment bag, and turn the Mukhawar inside out.

Store your Mukhawar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. We recommend hanging it on a padded hanger or folding it carefully in tissue paper to preserve its shape and avoid creases.
