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

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

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

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.
