In order to guarantee its cleanliness and longevity, as well as your use comfort, proper cleaning is essential. Of course, we also hope that you can take good care of your bathrobe when using it, which can extend its service life and make you feel good. The following are the detailed steps to clean the bathrobe, I hope you can carefully review after purchase.
1. Sorting and Checking
Before you start cleaning, please check the care label on the bathrobe carefully. If there are cleaning requirements on it, be sure to read and follow them carefully. Different materials have specific cleaning requirements. For example, cotton bathrobes may be able to withstand more aggressive cleaning methods than silk or delicate fabrics. In addition to considering the fabric, it is also important to separate your bathrobe from other brightly colored or easily dyed clothing to prevent color transfer or damage. This is especially important if your bathrobe is light colored or has patterns that can be influenced by other clothing.
2.Pre-treating Stains
For a more delicate cleaning, it is best to check your bathrobe in advance for stains. Common stains on bathrobes include food spills, makeup, or household dirt. For food stains, you can first scrape off the excess residue with a dull knife or spoon (be careful not to hurt your fingers!). Then, use a stain remover specifically designed for stains and fabric types, which generally only require a few minutes of soaking with water to allow the product to penetrate and break down the stain. For makeup stains, start with a mild makeup remover or a mixture of mild cleaner and water. Dab the stained area with a soft cloth or sponge. If there is dirt, you can gently brush with a soft brush to remove the dirt, and then treat with a stain remover. Similarly, it is better to use a stain remover with strong oil removal at this time.
3.Machine Washing
Most bathrobes are machine washable, but it’s important to choose the right setting. Use a mild temperature and detergent suitable for the yukata fabric. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, as they can damage the fabric and cause fading, leaving your bathrobe looking dull and prone to ruin. Try to set the washing machine to a slow cycle. This will reduce strong agitation and prevent damage to the fabric. Use either warm or cold water at the same time, as hot water can shrink some fabric fabrics and cause colors to fade. A final note of caution is not to overload the washing machine. Give the robe enough room to move freely during the washing process to ensure a thorough wash.
4.Drying
Proper drying is essential to maintain the quality of the bathrobe and also affects the color and softness of the fabric. Avoid drying your bathrobe in direct sunlight for long periods of time, as this can cause fading and also stiffen the bathrobe. Instead, hang it on a clothesline or lay it flat on a clean towel to dry. This gentle drying method helps maintain the fabric and shape of the yukata.
If you choose to use a dryer, select a low heat setting. High temperatures will shrink and damage the fabric. In addition, put a few clean tennis balls in the dryer to fluff up the bathrobe, promote drying of the bathrobe, prevent shrinkage, and prevent it from becoming lumpy. It also reduces static electricity, making it easier to keep your robe flat and clean.
5.Folding and Storage
Once your bathrobe is completely dry, it’s best to fold it neatly right away. But remember not to fold it too tightly, as this can cause creases and damage the fabric.
Keep your bathrobe in a clean, dry place while storing. A well-ventilated drawer or closet is ideal. Avoid storing it in a humid or dusty place, as this can lead to mold or mildew growth.
You can also put a bag of lavender or cedar shavings in the storage area to keep your bathrobe smelling fresh, if you prefer a light scent.
By following these detailed steps, you can keep your bathrobe clean, soft, and in good condition, providing you with comfort and relaxation for a long time.
