Preserving Your Painted Fabrics
Care Instructions for Longevity
To ensure the longevity of your beautifully painted fabrics, it is crucial to follow specific care instructions. Begin by allowing the paint to cure for at least 24 hours before washing. When it’s time to clean, turn the fabric inside out and use cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the paint. Hand washing is preferred, but if you must use a machine, select a delicate cycle.
After washing, air dry your fabric by laying it flat or hanging it in a shaded area to prevent fading from direct sunlight. If ironing is necessary, place a cloth between the iron and the painted surface to protect the design. By following these steps, you can enjoy your vibrant, painted creations for years to come.
