Fabric Care Guide

Your handmade pieces deserve a little love. Follow these simple steps to keep your batik and aso oke looking beautiful for years.

Batik Fabric Care

  • First wash: hand wash alone in cold water. Batik dyes can bleed a little at first — this is normal.
  • Always use cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. No bleach, ever.
  • Wash inside out, with like colors.
  • Don't wring it — gently press the water out instead.
  • Dry in the shade. Direct sun fades the colors over time.
  • Iron on medium heat, inside out. A pressing cloth adds extra protection.

Aso Oke Care

  • Dry clean is the safest option, especially for pieces with metallic strips.
  • If you must hand wash: cold water only, very mild detergent, no wringing, no bleach.
  • Never machine wash — the agitation damages the weave and dulls metallic threads.
  • Dry flat in the shade, never in direct sun.
  • Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth. Keep direct heat off metallic strips.
  • Store folded (not hanging — heavy pieces stretch), and keep perfume away from metallic threads.
