Care Instructions

Dear Rare family, kindly go through the CARE INSTRUCTIONS for the Tie & Dye garments.

Detergent:

Use a mild, color-safe detergent to protect the vibrancy of the dye.

Avoid bleach or detergent with bleach alternatives, as they can fade the colors.

Opt for a detergent designed for dark or bright colors if available.

 

Water Temperature:

Always wash tie-dye garments in cold water. Hot water can cause the colors to fade or bleed.

 

Washing Machine Settings:

Use the gentle cycle to minimize stress on the fabric and dye.

Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the design

Drying Your Tie-Dye Garments

Air Drying:

Air drying is the best option for tie-dye garments. Hang them in a shaded area to prevent sun exposure, which can fade the colors over time.

Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can distort the design.

 

Machine Drying:

If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting.

Remove the garment while it’s still slightly damp to prevent over-drying, which can cause fading.

 

Additional Care Tips

Avoid Overwashing:

Wash your tie-dye garments only when necessary to preserve the colors and fabric.

 

Storage:

Store your tie-dye clothing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Avoid folding the garment in the same spot repeatedly, as this can cause creases and fading in the design.

 

Ironing:

If ironing is needed, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting. Avoid direct contact between the iron and the dyed areas.

 

Spot Cleaning:

For small stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent instead of washing the entire garment.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Color Bleeding: If colors bleed during the first wash, rinse the garment again in cold water until the water runs clear. Wash it separately until the excess dye stops bleeding.

Fading Colors: To revive faded colors, consider using a fabric dye refresher or re-dyeing the garment.

By following these care instructions, tie-dye garments will remain vibrant and beautiful for years to come. Enjoy wearing your one-of-a-kind creations with pride!
