Take Good Care of Your Batiks & Most of Your Other Traditional Clothings

You wouldn't want to throw away something that you buy with expensive prize, just because you don't know how to take care of them.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Little bit effort
  • Luke warm water
  • Fabrick softener
  • Fan
  • Moth controlers (mothballs, cedar, etc.)
  1. Step 1

    Soak them in luke warm water with a little bit of fabric softener.

  2. Step 2

    Hang & spread them to dry, but keep them away from sunlight exposure. Better use a fan to help you dry them faster.

  3. Step 3

    Some of traditional fabric do not need to be ironed. You just need to fold or plead them nively before keep them in the drower.

  4. Step 4

    Put moth protector agents, such as mothballs, cedar, etc to protect them from moth. Don't forget to change or put some more every couple of months.

  5. Step 5

    By the way, some traditional fabrics of clothings do not need to be washed at all. You just need to hang & spread them, like what I've mentioned on step 2.
