Tips for caring and washing your embroidered robe
Robe with embroidery is a luxurious and elegant piece of clothing that deserves special attention when cleaning and washing. Here are some tips to make sure your robe looks as beautiful and well-maintained as the day you bought it.
Washing a robe
It is recommended to use warm water, no matter what fabric your robe is made of. For delicate fabrics such as silk or satin, use a mild detergent or a detergent specifically designed for washing robes with embroidery. For less delicate fabrics such as terry robes, use liquid detergent on the warm water wash cycle. Always remember to turn your robe inside out before putting it in the machine to prevent the embroidery from being damaged by rubbing against other clothes during the wash.
Ironing a robe
It is important to iron a robe with embroidery from the wrong side of the fabric so as not to damage or distort part of the design during ironing. When ironing, use low heat, especially if your robe is made of delicate fabrics such as silk or satin. It is also important not to press too hard on any part of the fabric while ironing, as this can cause permanent creases in contoured pieces such as lapels or collars.
Drying the robe
Air drying is usually recommended for items with intricate details, such as embroidered robes, since using a dryer can cause shrinkage and damage any finishing touches on the garment, such as beading or trim on cuffs and hems. If you must use a dryer, make sure it is set on a low setting, this will also help prevent the color from fading over time due to the high heat levels of tumble drying. After air drying, carefully reshape the garment for best results.
Production
In order to preserve the colors and decoration of an item such as an embroidered robe, it is highly recommended that you follow the specialized care instructions for the items. Dry cleaning should be considered, but only if necessary, as its abrasive chemicals can cause fading and even shrinkage on some fabrics; although boiling hot water baths can also be used (no more than once) when it comes to difficult stains on durable materials such as velvet, denim, etc. If none of these options are suitable, then you should consider specialized products designed specifically for delicate clothing; products range from softeners, delicate laundry detergents, scented sprays, etc.
