Caring for Your Dress Afro Fabrics

At Dress Afro, we believe every fabric tells a story, and proper care ensures your story stays bold and beautiful for years to come. Whether it’s Ankara, Kente, or any of our premium African-inspired fabrics, here are a few simple tips to preserve their color, texture, and charm.

1. Wash with Care

Use cold water and mild, non-bleach detergent to maintain vibrant colors.

Handwashing is best, but if you’re using a machine, opt for a gentle cycle.

Wash similar colors together to prevent bleeding.

2. Air Dry for Longevity

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading—air drying in the shade works wonders.

Lay flat or hang to dry to maintain the fabric’s natural shape.

3. Iron Gently

Use a warm iron on the reverse side of the fabric.

For wax prints, place a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid removing any natural sheen.

4. Store Smartly

Fold neatly or hang on padded hangers to avoid creases.

Store in a cool, dry place to protect against moisture and discoloration.

By following these simple steps, you’ll not only preserve the life of your Dress Afro garments but also honor the craftsmanship and cultural heritage behind every piece. Your style deserves nothing less!
