How to Wash & Care for Your Mukhawar

Every Mukhawar is handmade with love and designed to last. To preserve its beauty, comfort, and elegance, please follow these simple care guidelines:


Washing Instructions

  • Hand Wash Only:
    For best results, hand wash your Mukhawar in cold water using a mild, non-bleach detergent.
  • Do Not Machine Wash:
    The delicate embroidery and fabric may be damaged by machine agitation, even on gentle cycles.
  • Separate Colours:
    Wash light and dark colours separately to prevent colour bleeding.

Drying

  • Air Dry Flat:
    Lay your Mukhawar flat on a clean towel in a shaded area to dry naturally.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight:
    Sun exposure may fade colours and weaken delicate threads.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry

Ironing

  • Low Heat Only:
    If ironing is needed, use the lowest heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the garment.
  • Avoid Embroidery Areas:
    Do not iron directly on embroidery or embellishments.

Storing

  • Hang or Fold Gently:
    Use padded hangers to avoid shoulder stretching, or fold neatly with tissue paper to protect intricate details.
  • Avoid Damp or Humid Storage Spaces:
    Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light.

Pro Tips

  • Add a lavender sachet or cedar block to keep your Mukhawar fresh and moth-free.
  • Spot-clean immediately after stains to prevent setting.
  • For special pieces, consider professional dry cleaning once a year.
